In a controlled experiment, a scientist is studying how long it takes feathers of different sizes to fall to the ground. What is

nikdorinn [45]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: independent variable: Size of the feather.

Explanation:

In an experiment, the manipulated/independent variable is, as the name implies, the variable that the scientist can control.

In this case, the scientist has only one variable that he can control at will, and this is the size of the feather (he can choose which feather he uses for the experiment)

So the manipulated variable will be the size of the feather.

And the dependent variable is the one that "answers" to the changes in the manipulated variable.

In this case, will be the time that it takes to the feather to fall to the ground.

11. A 6.0‐m wire with a mass of 50 g, is under tension. A transverse wave, for which the frequency is 810 Hz, the wavelength is
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Time will be 19 ms so option (a) is correct option

Explanation:

We have given that mass of wire m = 50 gram = 0.5 kg

Frequency f = 810 Hz

Wavelength = 0.4 m

Velocity is given by

v=wavelength\times frequency=810\times 0.4=324m/sec

Amplitude is given as d = 6 m

So time t=\frac{distance}{velocity}=\frac{6}{324}=0.01851=19ms

So option (a) is correct option

What kind of radiation is emitted in the following nuclear reaction
miv72 [106K]

Beta emission is occurring in the given nuclear reaction.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

In this equation, the reactant is the Thorium atom, which is reduced to palladium. As the atomic number get decreased by one, so an electron will be emitted. This process of emission of electrons by radiation or decaying the reactant nuclei to form a new product nuclei is termed as beta emission.

So, the electrons are generally termed as beta particles while the positrons are termed as positive beta particles. So this is a kind of radioactive reactions where the reactant changes to new element by releasing an electron and thus there is a change in the atomic number of the product by one.
