Answer: by a factor of √2

Explanation:

The kinetic energy is written as:

K = (m/2)*v^2

where m is the mass of the particle and v is the velocity:

If we double the kinetic energy, we have:

k' = 2k = 2(m/2)*v^2

now we want to see by what factor is increased the velocity, so we must put that 2 inside the square power, this is:

k' = 2*(m/2)*(v)^2 = (m/2)*(√2*v)^2 is the new kinetic energy,

This means that the velocity is increased by a factor of √2

So I'm struggling with rearranging kinematic formulas. Does anyone have any steps or something to help.

Rearranging formulas is all about simple algebra rules. Just like when solving for x in an equation, you're just isolating whichever variable you want. I'll work this one out for you and hopefully it'll help, but if you need more explanation, then feel free to comment!

D = ViT + 0.5at² Subtract ViT from both sides

D - ViT = 0.5at² Divide both sides by 0.5t²

$\frac{D - ViT}{0.5t^{2} } = \frac{0.5at^{2} }{0.5t^{2} }$ I wrote this step out a little more to show how your fraction will cancel

$\frac{D - ViT}{0.5t^{2} }$ = a I like to flip these around so the single variable is on the right

a = $\frac{D - ViT}{0.5t^{2} }$

A psychologist is interested in exploring the effect tutorial support on students academic performance and assign students in to

NikAS [45]

Answer:

The dependent variable is academic performance

The independent variable is the presence/absence of tutorial support

The control group are students who did not get the tutorial support.

The experimental group were students that got the tutorial support

Explanation:

In every experiment, there is a dependent and independent variable as well as an experimental and a control group.

The experimental group receive the treatment while the control group do not receive the treatment. The independent variable is manipulated and its impact on the dependent variable is evaluated.

The control group are students who did not receive the tutorial support while the experimental group are students that received the tutorial support.

The dependent variable in this case is academic performance. Its outcome depends on the presence or absence of tutorial support (independent variable).
