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

the manipulated/independent variable
Physics
1 answer:
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.

What is the momentum of a man of mass 10kg when he walks with a uniform velocity of 2m/s.
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Momentum(p) = 20kgm/s

Explanation:

Given

Mass = 10kg

Velocity = 2m/s

Required

Calculate the momentum of the man

Momentum is calculated as thus

Momentum(p) = Mass(m) * Velocity(v)

or

p = mv

So; to solve this question; we simply substitute 10kg for mass and 2m/s for velocity in the above formula;

The formula becomes

Momentum(p) = 10kg * 2m/s

Momentum(p) = 10 * 2 * kg * m/s

Momentum(p) = 20kgm/s

Hence, the momentum of the man is 20kgm/s

You drive a car 640 m to the east, then 340 m to the north what is the magnitude of your displacement
mixer [17]

Magnitude of displacement = \sqrt{640^2 + 340^2}

Adding the squares gives displacement = \sqrt{525,200}

Displacement =  \sqrt{525,200} ≈ 724.7m

A light beam travels at 1.94×108 in quartz. The wavelength of the light in quartz is 355 .Part AWhat is the index of refraction
Alja [10]

A) 1.55

The speed of light in a medium is given by:

v=\frac{c}{n}

where

c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s is the speed of light in a vacuum

n is the refractive index of the material

In this problem, the speed of light in quartz is

v=1.94\cdot 10^8 m/s

So we can re-arrange the previous formula to find n, the index of refraction of quartz:

n=\frac{c}{v}=\frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{1.94\cdot 10^8 m/s}=1.55

B) 550.3 nm

The relationship between the wavelength of the light in air and in quartz is

\lambda=\frac{\lambda_0}{n}

where

\lambda is the wavelenght in quartz

\lambda_0 is the wavelength in air

n is the refractive index

For the light in this problem, we have

\lambda=355 nm\\n=1.55

Therefore, we can re-arrange the equation to find \lambda_0, the wavelength in air:

\lambda_0 = n\lambda=(1.55)(355 nm)=550.3 nm

A body weighs 100newtons when submerged in water. calculate the upthrust action on the body​
Andrews [41]

Answer:

Upthrust = 20 N

Explanation:

The question says that "A body weighs 100N in air and 80N when submerged in water. Calculate the upthrust acting on the body ?"

Upthrust is defined as the force when a body is submerged in liquid, then liquid applies a force on it.

ATQ,

Weight of body in air is 100 N

Weight of body in water is 80 N

Upthrust is equal to the weight of body in air minus weight of body in water.

Upthrust = 100 N - 80 N

Upthrust = 20 N

So, 20 N of upthrust is acting on the body.
