Juan, a biologist, notices that a particular group of hummingbirds leaves during the colder winter months and returns during the

warmer spring months. Juan hypothesizes that the birds fly south to locations with warmer weather and blooming flowers during the winter months. Which procedure should Juan use to test his hypothesis?​

Answer:

C. Tag the hummingbirds with transmitters and track their movement.

Explanation:

Hypothesis refers to the conclusion of the analysis found on the grounds of certain observations. The hypothesis is further tested and verified by performing certain experiments. In the given excerpt, Juan hypothesizes that certain group of hummingbirds fly to certain locations depending upon the season. To test the hypothesis, Juan can experiment with finding and tracking the hummingbirds and the direction in which they fly. Tagging the hummingbirds with transmitters and tracking their movement would help Juan concluding about the hypothesis.

A particular baseball pitcher throws a baseball at a speed of 39.1 m/s (about 87.5 mi/hr) toward home plate. We use g = 9.8 m/s2
Reika [66]
There is no acceleration in the horizontal direction (just g in the vertical), so we can use v = d/t, where v is velocity, d is distance and t is time. We can solve for time like so: t = d/v, we can plug in numbers (v is 39.1m/s completely in the horizontal direction, so no need to break it down with sin's and cos's, just plug it in) and we get t = (16.6m)/(39.1 m/s) = 0.42 s. Keep in mind it wouldn't fall far enough vertically to hit home plate (though we don't know the ball's initial height anyway), but would be in the air just above it. Cheers!

The index of refraction of a clear plastic is listed as 1.89 in the book, but you measured the angle of incidence 63.5° and the
lakkis [162]

Answer:

<h2>index of refraction = 1.69</h2><h2>percentage error = 10.58%</h2>

Explanation:

According to Snell's law, the ratio of the sine of angle of incidence to the sine of angle of refraction is a constant for a given pair of media. The constant is known as the refractive index.

Mathematically \frac{sin i}{sin r} = n

i = angle of incidence measured = 63.5°

r = angle of refraction measured = 32°

n = refractive index

n = \frac{sin 63.5^{0} }{sin 32^{0} } \\n = \frac{0.8949}{0.5299}\\ n = 1.69

The index fraction calculated is approx. 1.69.

If the index of refraction of a clear plastic as listed in the book is 1.89 and the calculated is 1.69, the percentage error will be calculated as thus;

%error = \frac{1.89-1.69}{1.89} * 100

%error = \frac{0.2}{1.89}*100

%error  = \frac{20}{1.89}

%error  = 10.58%

can somebody help me answer this question? A car went from 110 m/s to 80 m/s in 20 seconds. What was the acceleration of the car
gogolik [260]

Answer:

-1.5m/s²

Explanation:

Acceleration can be thought of as [Change in Velocity]/[Change in time]. To find these changes, you simply subtract the initial quantity from the final quantity.

So for this question you have:

  • V_i = 110m/s
  • V_f = 80m/s
  • t_i = 0s
  • t_f = 20s

which means that the acceleration = (80-110)/(20-0)[m/s²] = (-30/20)m/s² = -1.5m/s²

A typical atomic polarizability is 1 × 10-40 (C·m)/(N/C). If the q in p = qs is equal to the proton charge e, what charge separa
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

s = 6.25 10⁻²² m

Explanation:

Polarizability is the separation of electric charges in a structure, in the case of the atom it is the result of the separation of positive charges in the nucleus and the electrons in their orbits, macroscopically it is approximated by

                p = q s

               s = p / q

let's calculate

              s = 1 10⁻⁴⁰ / 1.6 10⁻¹⁹

              s = 0.625 10⁻²¹ m

              s = 6.25 10⁻²² m

We see that the result is much smaller than the size of the atom, therefore this simplistic model cannot be taken to an atomic scale.
