Scientists in a test lab are testing the hardness of a surface before constructing a building. Calculations indicate that the en

tire structure would sink by a certain amount for every additional floor that is added. If the maximum permissible limit for depression of the structure is 20 centimeters, how many floors can be safely added to the building?

a baseball is pitched with a speed of 35.0m/s. how long does it take the ball to travel 18.4 m from the pitchers mound to home p
Vlad [161]
Given the speed and the distance, to find time you can use the formula speed is equal to distance over time. From there you can manipulate the equation for time to equal the distance divided by speed. Time is equal to 18.4 meters divided by 35m/s which equals 0.526 seconds.

A soccer player takes a corner kick, lofting a stationary ball 33.0° above the horizon at 15.0 m/s. If the soccer ball has a mas
Alexxandr [17]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the soccer ball, m = 0.425 kg

Speed of the ball, u = 15 m/s

Angle with horizontal, \theta=33^{\circ}

Time for which the player's foot is in contact with it, \Delta t = 5.1\times 10^{-2}\ s

Part A,

The x component of the soccer ball's change in momentum is given by :

\Delta p_x=mv\ cos\theta

\Delta p_x=0.425\times 15\ cos(33)

p_x=5.34\ kg-m/s

The y component of the soccer ball's change in momentum is given by :

\Delta p_y=mv\ sin\theta

\Delta p_y=0.425\times 15\ sin(33)

p_y=3.47\ kg-m/s

Hence, this is the required solution.

What are the products of a fusion reaction? Check all that apply. Lighter atoms energy heavier atoms a neutron a proton.
svet-max [94.6K]

The process by which two or more tiny nuclei unite to generate a bigger nucleus is known as a nuclear fusion reaction. Heavier atoms are products of a fusion reaction.

<h3 /><h3>What is nuclear fusion?</h3>

The process by which two or more tiny nuclei unite to generate a bigger nucleus is known as a nuclear fusion reaction.

For example, the fusion of two hydrogen atoms produces more energy than the fusion of one helium atom, and surplus energy is expelled into space upon binding.

Hence heavier atoms are e products of a fusion reaction.

suppose you got up this morning and the lightbulb in your room wouldn't come on. Use the of the scientific method to explain how
Anna007 [38]

Answer:TEP 1: State the Problem

A problem is a question to be thought about and either solved or answered. Problems surround all of us. Each day we are faced with more problems than we realize and we use the scientific method to solve them without even thinking about it.

EXAMPLE: The lamp does not come on when you flip the switch.

Your problem may be something that you observe around you or it can be determined by researching a topic and attempting to repeat an experiment of another scientist based on what you are working with.

STEP 2: Make Observations

An observation is the act of recognizing and recording something that is happening. Observing often involves the use of measurements and instruments to take measurements with.

EXAMPLE: (1) There is a light bulb. (2) The switch is in the on position.

(3)Other lights in the house are on. (4) The electrical cord is plugged in.

You make these observations based on the things you see, hear, and in other ways notice going on around you. You may also base your observations on information you found from researching the topic. Maybe you found the manual for the lamp and read about how it is supposed to work. You might have searched for information about Thomas Edison and his invention of the light bulb. These works of others are called background research.

 

STEP 3: Form a Hypothesis

A hypothesis is an educated guess meaning an explanation for something that happens based on facts that can then be tested to try and find logical answers.

EXAMPLE: The light bulb is burned out.

Your hypothesis should answer your question of why the lamp does not come on. You can come to this conclusion based on your own knowledge or from researching how a lamp works. We assume that if the lamp is plugged in and turned on that it should light. We also know that if other lights in the house are on, some electricity is running through the house. Your hypothesis does not have to be proven correct by your experiment, it just needs to be testable.

Having more than one hypothesis is fine. There could be a number of reasons why the lamp is not lit and testing them all might be the only way to find an answer. Before beginning to experiment, use logical reason to determine if any of your hypotheses can be eliminated. Maybe the fuse is blown or the outlet is bad. The switch could be wired wrong or broken. These are all testable hypotheses that could be looked into if the light bulb is not the problem.

 

STEP 4: Experiment

An experiment is a step-by-step procedure that is carried out under controlled conditions to attempt to prove a hypothesis, discover and unknown effect or law, or to illustrate a known law.

EXAMPLE: First remove the light bulb and screw it back in tightly to make sure that it was not loose. If that does not work, take the bulb from a lamp you know is working and place it in the broken lamp. If that lights, try another bulb to be sure.

Your experimental set-up should include a control and a variable. You may include more than one variable, but this will increase the size of your experiment. It is also very important to replicate in your experimetal procedure to avoid error. This means that you should try it at least three times. From your experiment you will need to gather data. Data can be organized in charts and or graphs and numerical data should be measured using the metric system.

How To Graph

 

STEP 5: Draw a Conclusion

A conclusion is a reasonable judgment based on the examination of data from an experiment. The result or outcome of an act or process.

EXAMPLE: The lamp lit after the bulb was changed, therefore the light bulb must have been burned out.

You might also know from experience that if the filament is broken in a light bulb, it will make a rattling sound when you shake the bulb. To confirm your results, you could shake the bul
