What is the difference between an observation and an inference?

Physics

Explanation:

observation is something what you could observe from your organs like eyes ears etc and also it is what you observed during an event for an experiment but inference is what you decide to do after observation or an event.

the act of inferring (to derive by reasoning). Observation = an act or instance of noticing or perceiving.

Thank u!

Find the uniform acceleration that causes a car's velocity to change from 20.0 m/s to 105 m/s in and 12.0 s

Sauron [17]

Answer:

7.08 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 20.0 m/s

v = 105 m/s

t = 12.0 s

Find: a

v = at + v₀

105 m/s = a (12.0 s) + 20.0 m/s

a = 7.08 m/s²

Issac and Blaise decide to race. They both start at the same position at the same time. Issac runs at 2m/s but decides to take a

FromTheMoon [43]

Let the Blaise runs for time "t" to complete the race

so the total distance he moved is given by

$d_1 = 1* t$

Now Issac runs for time t = "t - 2*60"

because it took rest for 2 minutes

$d_2 = 2*(t - 120)$

now it is given that Blaise wins by 10 m distance

$d_1 - d_2 = 10$

$1* t - 2*(t - 120) = 10$

$t - 2t + 240 = 10$

$t = 230 s$

now the distance moved by Blaise is given by

$d_1 = 1*230 = 230 m$

You need to repair a gate on the farm. The gate weighs 100 kg and pivots as indicated. A small diagonal bar supports the gate an

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

The force is $F = 3920 \ N$

Explanation:

The diagram for this question is shown on the first uploaded image

From the question we are told that

The weight of the gate is $G = 100\ kg$

The vertical component of F is $F_y = F\ sin \theta$

From the diagram , taking moment about the pivot we have

$W_g * 2 - F_y * 1 = 0$

Where $W_g$ is the weight of the gate evaluated as

$W_g = m_g * g = 100 * 9.8 = 980 \ N$

=> $980 * 2 - Fsin(30) * 1 = 0$

=> $F = \frac{1960}{sin(30)}$

=> $F = 3920 \ N$

Under ideal conditions (no atmospheric interference of any kind), if I hit a golf ball at an angle of 25 degrees at an initial s

g100num [7]

Answer:

The required angle is (90-25)° = 65°

Explanation:

The given motion is an example of projectile motion.

Let 'v' be the initial velocity and '∅' be the angle of projection.

Let 't' be the time taken for complete motion.

Let 'g' be the acceleration due to gravity

Taking components of velocity in horizontal(x) and vertical(y) direction.

$v_{x}$ = v cos(∅)

$v_{y}$ = v sin(∅)

We know that for a projectile motion,

t = $\frac{2vsin(∅)}{g}$

Since there is no force acting on the golf ball in horizonal direction.

Total distance(d) covered in horizontal direction is -

d = $v_{x}$ ×t = vcos(∅)× $\frac{2vsin(∅)}{g}$ = $\frac{v^{2}sin(2∅) }{g}$ .

If the golf ball has to travel the same distance 'd' for same initital velocity v = 23m/s , then the above equation should have 2 solutions of initial angle 'α' and 'β' such that -

α +β = 90° as-

d = $\frac{v^{2}sin(2α) }{g}$ = $\frac{v^{2}sin(2[90-β]) }{g}$ = $\frac{v^{2}sin(180-2β) }{g}$ = $\frac{v^{2}sin(2β) }{g}$ .

∴ For the initial angles 'α' or 'β' , total horizontal distance 'd' travelled remains the same.

∴ If α = 25° , then

β = 90-25 = 65°

∴ The required angle is 65°.
