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

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.

Diesel fuel is used in the engine of trucks that carry dirt fruit and other cargo. Fuel is burned in engines to make the motor m
Marina86 [1]

Answer: Fuel is burned in engines to make the motor move.

( Chemical to Mechanical )

Explanation:

during combustion of the diesel ( when the fuel is burnt in the engine of the vehicle, the diesel ( chemical energy ) is transformed or converted to Mechanical energy. This mechanical energy is what the truck uses in moving. Without the combustion of the fuel the vehicle won’t move and the combustion of diesel is achieved through compression unlike that of fuel.

Imagine a simple pendulum swinging in an elevator. If the cable holding the elevator up was to snap, allowing the elevator to go
Lady_Fox [76]

One of the components that affect the period is gravity (the other is length). This gravity is basically the value of the effective acceleration that acts on the body due to gravity. When the elevator is over free fall, the effective gravity becomes zero. Mathematically this can be visualized as,

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{\dot{g_{eff}}}}

Since this value is zero, the period would tend to be infinite,

T \rightarrow \infty

Therefore the frequency that is inversely proportional to the period would be defined as

f = \frac{1}{T}

f = \frac{1}{\infty}

f \approx 0

In this way there is no frequency on the body which will not generate any oscillation on the body

A sealed tank containing seawater to a height of 12.8 m also contains air above the water at a gauge pressure of 2.90 atm . Wate
exis [7]

Answer:

The velocity of water at the bottom, v_{b} = 28.63 m/s

Given:

Height of water in the tank, h = 12.8 m

Gauge pressure of water, P_{gauge} = 2.90 atm

Solution:

Now,

Atmospheric pressue, P_{atm} = 1 atm = 1.01\tiems 10^{5} Pa

At the top, the absolute pressure, P_{t} = P_{gauge} + P_{atm} = 2.90 + 1 = 3.90 atm = 3.94\times 10^{5} Pa

Now, the pressure at the bottom will be equal to the atmopheric pressure, P_{b} = 1 atm = 1.01\times 10^{5} Pa

The velocity at the top, v_{top} = 0 m/s, l;et the bottom velocity, be v_{b}.

Now, by Bernoulli's eqn:

P_{t} + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_{t}^{2} + \rho g h_{t} = P_{b} + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_{b}^{2} + \rho g h_{b}

where

h_{t} -  h_{b} = 12.8 m

Density of sea water, \rho = 1030 kg/m^{3}

\sqrt{\frac{2(P_{t} - P_{b} + \rho g(h_{t} - h_{b}))}{\rho}} =  v_{b}

\sqrt{\frac{2(3.94\times 10^{5} - 1.01\times 10^{5} + 1030\times 9.8\times 12.8}{1030}} =  v_{b}

v_{b} = 28.63 m/s

Calculate the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by the Moon on a 79 kg human standing on the surface of the Moon. (Th
Luden [163]

Answer:

F= 134.92 N

Explanation:

Given that

The mass of the moon ,M = 7.4 x 10²² kg

The mass of the man ,m = 79 kg

The radius ,R= 1.7 x 10⁶ m

The force exerted by moon is given as

F=G\dfrac{Mm}{R^2}

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

F=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times \dfrac{79\times 7.4\times 10^{22}}{(1.7\times 10^6)^2}\ N\\F=134.92 N

Therefore the force will be 134.92 N.

F= 134.92 N
