Anything that is medal is connected to earth

This happens through the connection cord, that has 3 wires: 2 wires are used for power supply. The third wire is used to 'ground' the metal case, by connecting it to a special pin from the wall socket. The eletrical installation of the building connects all these ground pins to earth.

A scientist wants to measure the relationship between humidity in the
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

<em>The most suitable testable question. in this case, would be that 'are there more home runs during the more humid months of the  summer?'</em>

Since the aim of the investigation is to find the relationship between humidity and the number of home runs, measuring the number of home runs during the more humid months in the summer and comparing the data to the number of home runs during the less humid months in the same summer would provide the answer.

<u>Only option D raises a valid question that is relevant to the aim of the investigation.</u>

Why is it necessary that all three thermometers were at approximately the same distance from the light bulb
iris [78.8K]
I'm assuming it was to keep the data consistent? The further you are from a heat source the less heat will get to you as the temperature tries to reach equilibrium and the waves start to spread out, so you should keep everything the same distance to get consistent results. I don't have any information so this is just my assumption

Please help! I'm not sure what equation or the process to do this question.
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

The momentum is 1.94 kg m/s.

Explanation:

To solve this problem we equate the potential energy of the spring with the kinetic energy of the ball.

The potential energy U of the compressed spring is given by

U = \dfrac{1}{2} kx^2,

where x is the length of compression and k is the spring constant.

And the kinetic energy of the ball is

K.E = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2.

When the spring is released all of the potential energy of the spring goes into the kinetic energy of the ball; therefore,

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2 = \dfrac{1}{2}kx^2,

solving for v we get:

v = x \sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m} }.

And since momentum of the ball is p=mv,

p =mx \sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m} }.

Putting in numbers we get:

p =(0.5kg)(0.25m) \sqrt{\dfrac{(120N/m)}{0.5kg} }.

\boxed{p=1.94kg\: m/s}
