An experiment is designed to test the relationship between the initial height of a basketball before it is dropped to the height

of its rebound bounce. The height of the rebound bounce is measured using a scale positioned behind the ball. In the above experiment, which condition would not be controlled?
A). the starting height of the ball
B). the surface the ball bounces on
C). the type of ball
D). the method to measure the rebound height of the ball

Answer:

A. The starting height of the ball

Explanation:

When we talk about controlled variables, we refer to the variable that should be kept the same throughout the experiment. The reason why we do this, is to limit anything else that is not being tested, that may affect the results of the experiment.

In the scenario given, the experiment is to see the relationship between the <u>initial height of a basketball</u> and the <u>height of its rebound bounce. </u>

So you the starting height of the ball should vary, meaning it is NOT controlled.

A 4.5-kg, three legged stool supports a 89-kg person. If each leg of the stool has a cross-sectional diameter of 2.8 cm and the
kkurt [141]

Answer:

4.96 × 10⁵ Pa

Explanation:

F = mg

F = (m_{person}+m_{stool})g\\\\F =  (4.5 + 89)*9.8\\\\F = 916.3 N

This force is evenly distributed on the three leg

radius, r = d/2

= 2.8 / 2

= 1.4 cm = 0.014 m

total cross sectional area of the three legs, A = 3*pi*r^2

= 3\times\pi \times0.014^2\\\\= 1.847\times10^-^3m^2

Pressure due to weight,

P = Weight/A

P = / 1.847 × 10⁻³\\P = \frac{ 916.3N}{1.847\times10^-^3} \\\\P= 496032.9Pa

P = 4.96 × 10⁵ Pa

Compare the maximum rate of heat transfer to the basal metabolic rate by converting a bmr of 88 kcal/hr into watts. what is the
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Explanation :

It is given that,

BMR i.e basal metabolic rate is 88 kcal/hr. So, BMR in watts is converted by the following :

We know that, 1 kilocalorie = 4184 joules

So, 1\ kcal/h=\dfrac{1\times 4184\ J}{3600\ sec}

1\ kcal/h=1.16\ J/sec

J/sec is nothing but watts.

So, 1\ kcal/h=1.16\ watts

and 88\ kcal/h=88\times 1.16\ watts = 102.08\ watts

So, it can be seen that the body can accommodate a modes amount of activity in hot weather but strenuous activity would increase the metabolic rate above the body's ability to remove heat.

A rocket travels in the x-direction at speed 0.70c with respect to the earth. An experimenter on the rocket observes a collision
marishachu [46]

Answer:

A) The space time coordinate x of the collision in Earth's reference frame is

x \approx 103,46x10^{9}m.

B) The space time coordinate t of the collision in Earth's reference frame is

t=377,29s

Explanation:

We are told a rocket travels in the x-direction at speed v=0,70 c (c=299792458 m/s is the exact value of the speed of light) with respect to the Earth. A collision between two comets is observed from the rocket and it is determined that the space time coordinates of the collision are (x',t') = (3.4 x 10¹⁰ m, 190 s).

An event indicates something that occurs at a given location in space and time, in this case the event is the collision between the two comets. We know the space time coordinates of the collision seen from the reference frame of the rocket and we want to find out the space time coordinates in Earth's reference frame.

<em>Lorentz transformation</em>

The Lorentz transformation relates things between two reference frames when one of them is moving with constant velocity with respect to the other. In this case the two reference frames are the Earth and the rocket that is moving with speed v=0,70 c in the x axis.

The Lorentz transformation is

                          x'=\frac{x-vt}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}

                                y'=y

                                z'=z

                          t'=\frac{t-\frac{v}{c^{2}}x}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}

prime coordinates are the ones from the rocket reference frame and unprimed variables are from the Earth's reference frame. Since we want position x and time t in the Earth's frame we need the inverse Lorentz transformation. This can be obtained by replacing v by -v and swapping primed an unprimed variables in the first set of equations

                       x=\frac{x'+vt'}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}

                           y=y'

                           z=z'

                        t=\frac{t'+\frac{v}{c^{2}}x'}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}

First we calculate the expression in the denominator

                            \frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}=\frac{(0,70)^{2}c^{2}}{c^{2}} =(0,70)^{2}

                                \sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}} =0,714

then we calculate t

                      t=\frac{t'+\frac{v}{c^{2}}x'}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}

                      t=\frac{190s+\frac{0,70c}{c^{2}}.3,4x10^{10}m}{0,714}

                      t=\frac{190s+\frac{0,70c .3,4x10^{10}m}{299792458\frac{m}{s}}}{0,714}

                      t=\frac{190s+79,388s}{0,714}

finally we get that

                                     t=377,29s

then we calculate x

                         x=\frac{x'+vt'}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}

                         x=\frac{3,4x10^{10}m+0,70c.190s}{0,714}}

                         x=\frac{3,4x10^{10}m+0,70.299792458\frac{m}{s}.190s}{0,714}}

                         x=\frac{3,4x10^{10}m+39872396914m}{0,714}}

                         x=\frac{73872396914m}{0,714}}

                         x=103462740775,91m

finally we get that

                                     x \approx 103,46x10^{9} m
