One example is that when their food catches fire in a cooking pot or pan, it is advisable to smother the fire by covering the fire with a blanket rather than douse the fire with water. DOeing the later will only aggravate the fire. Knowledge of basic science dictates that oil and water are immiscible liquids the oil will continue to burn even as the water is poured into the oil. More so, as the water violently evaporates due to the heat, it spreads the burning oil and hence spreads the fire.

Scientific principles is a law or rules in science that has to be or usually is to be followed, or can be desirably followed or is an inevitable consequence of something, such as the laws observed in nature or the way that a system is constructed. I think people that practices this principle encounter life systematicaly and efficiently

When you bent the plastic ruler, what did you observe in its size? ​
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

The size will increase.

Explanation:

When you bend a plastic ruler, it's size will increase because it is elastic and will exhibit elastic deformation. When it is been bent, it will continue to stretch until it get to a point where it will not be able to regain it formal shape, it size wound of increase. Therefore when the ruler get to elastic limit and you have bend it to the point it cannot regain it's formal shape back, it will remain bent and if further force is apply on it,it will break.

How would you obtain a mean value for the specific heat<br> capacity of a material?
lidiya [134]
The heat capacity and the specific heat are related by C=cm or c=C/m. The mass m, specific heat c, change in temperature ΔT, and heat added (or subtracted) Q are related by the equation: Q=mcΔT. Values of specific heat are dependent on the properties and phase of a given substance.

What is the mass of a ball that has 29j of potential energy and is lifted 2.0m?​
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

1.48kg

Explanation:

Here,

potential energy (P.E) = 29j

height (h) = 2m

acceleration due to gravity(g) =

9.8m {s}^{ - 2}

mass(m) = ?

we know,

P.E = mgh

or, 29 = m×9.8×2

or, 29/19.6 = m

or,m = 1.48kg

Suppose an object is launched from a point 320 feet above the earth with an initial velocity of 128 ft/sec upward, and the only
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

(a)Therefore the highest altitude attained by the object is =576 ft .

(b)Therefore the object takes 6 sec to fall to the ground.

Explanation:

Initial velocity: Initial velocity is a velocity from which an object starts to move.

u is usually used for notation of initial notation.

Final velocity: Final velocity is a velocity of an object after certain second from starting.

The final velocity is denoted by v.

Acceleration: The difference of final velocity and initial velocity per unit time

The S.I unit of acceleration is m/s².

(a)

Given that u= 128 ft\sec and g = 32 ft/sec².

At highest point the velocity of the object is 0 i.e v=0

Since the displacement is opposite to the gravity.

Therefore acceleration( a)= -g = -32 ft/sec².

To find the time this to happen we use the following formula

v=u+at

Here v=0

⇒0=128+(-32) t

⇒32t=128

⇒t = 4 sec

To determine the height we use the following formula

s=ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2

\Rightarrow s= (128\times4)+\frac{1}{2}\times (-32) \times4^2

⇒s= 256 ft

Therefore the highest altitude attained by the object is =(320+256)ft=576 ft .

(b)

At the highest point the velocity of the object is 0.

so u=0. a=g= 32 ft/sec²  [ since the direction of gravity and the displacement are same] s= 576 ft

To determine the time to fall we use the following formula

s=ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2

\Rightarrow 576 = (0\times t)+\frac{1}{2} \times 32 \times t^2

\Rightarrow 16\times t^2=576

\Rightarrow t^2=\frac{576}{16}

\Rightarrow t^2=36

⇒t=6 sec

Therefore the object takes 6 sec to fall to the ground.

A crane raises a crate with a mass of 150 kg to a height of 20 m. Given that
Virty [35]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 29,400 \ Joules}}

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is the energy an object possesses due to its position. It is the product of mass, height, and acceleration due to gravity.

E_P= m \times g \times h

The object has a mass of 150 kilograms and is raised to a height of 20 meters. Since this is on Earth, the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 meters per square second.

  • m= 150 kg
  • g= 9.8 m/s²
  • h= 20 m

Substitute the values into the formula.

E_p= 150 \ kg \times 9.8 \ m/s^2 \times 20 \ m

Multiply the three numbers and their units together.

E_p=1470 \ kg*m/s^2 \times 20 m

E_p=29400 \ kg*m^2/s^2

Convert the units.

1 kilogram meter square per second squared (1 kg *m²/s²) is equal to 1 Joule (J). Our answer of 29,400 kg*m²/s² is equal to 29,400 Joules.

E_p= 29,400 \ J

The crate has <u>29,400 Joules</u> of potential energy.
