Answer: number of bacteria

Explanation:

A easier way. I like to remember it is that x axis = independent and yaxis = dependent variable, but if that doesn’t help think about this

Why would the number of bacteria effect the amount of time. It doesn’t make sense because time goes on forever and nothing can change about it but time can change the number of bacteria because if you had a timer of 30 seconds and the bacteria is for example 10 and if you had a timer of one minute then the number of bacteria change because of time, if you flip it, it doesn’t make sense

How would gravity cause planets to move if they did not have inertia?

daser333 [38]

I’d think the answer would be C. i’m just kinda guessing but my thought process is this (as simply as i can put it because physics is confusing):

so for example say you throw a ball across a flat surface. inertia is what keeps the ball rolling straight in a line, so unless you were to maybe put your hand in front of the ball or something, it would just go straight forever.

this is what happens with the planets. they go in a straight line, but since there’s gravity, the planets are also being pulled towards the sun. so gravity and inertia are why the planets orbit in the circle pattern they do. so when we remove inertia, we’re removing the state in which the planets keep going straight while being pulled towards a center point (the sun). this causes gravity to be the only factor in the planets orbiting. so that being said, the planets would just be pulled towards the sun. :)

Two wires carrying equal currents exert a force ???????? on each other. (a) The current in each wire is doubled, while the dista

sweet-ann [11.9K]

a) The magnetic field created by a current-carrying wire is proportional to the current:

B ∝ I, B = magnetic field strength, I = current

The magnetic force acting on a current-carrying wire immersed in a magnetic field is proportional to the current and the magnetic field strength:

F ∝ IB, F = magnetic force, I = current, B = magnetic field strength

Let's focus on wire 1.

Since wire 2's current is doubled, wire 2 produces a magnetic field twice as strong as before.

Wire 1's current is also doubled, therefore we now have a wire having twice as strong a current immersed in twice as strong a magnetic field. The magnetic force on wire 1 (and you can make a similar argument for wire 2) will be four times as strong as before.

b) The general formula for the magnetic force acting on a current-carrying wire immersed in a magnetic field is given by:

F = IL×B

F = magnetic force vector

I = current

L = vector having a magnitude equal to wire length and representing direction of current

B = magnetic field vector

Note we are taking a cross product of the IL and B vectors, not the product of two scalar quantities.

The very nature of the cross product means that if L and B are parallel to each other, F = 0N

For a freely falling object weighing 3 kg : A. what is the object's velocity 2 s after it's release. B. What is the kinetic ener

Fed [463]

A) 19.6 m/s (downward)

B) 576 J

C) 19.6 m

D) Velocity: not affected, kinetic energy: doubles, distance: not affected

Explanation:

An object in free fall is acted upon one force only, which is the force of gravity.

Therefore, the motion of an object in free fall is a uniformly accelerated motion (constant acceleration). Therefore, we can find its velocity by applying the following suvat equation:

$v=u+at$

where:

v is the velocity at time t

u is the initial velocity

$a=g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration due to gravity

For the object in this problem, taking downward as positive direction, we have:

$u=0$ (the object starts from rest)

$a=9.8 m/s^2$

Therefore, the velocity after

t = 2 s

is:

$v=0+(9.8)(2)=19.6 m/s$ (downward)

The kinetic energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its motion.

It can be calculated using the equation:

$KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

m is the mass of the object

v is the speed of the object

For the object in the problem, at t = 2 s, we have:

m = 3 kg (mass of the object)

v = 19.6 m/s (speed of the object)

Therefore, its kinetic energy is:

$KE=\frac{1}{2}(3)(19.6)^2=576 J$

In order to find how far the object has fallen, we can use another suvat equation for uniformly accelerated motion:

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

where

s is the distance covered

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

a is the acceleration

For the object in free fall in this problem, we have:

u = 0 (it starts from rest)

$a=g=9.8 m/s^2$ (acceleration of gravity)

t = 2 s (time)

Therefore, the distance covered is

$s=0+\frac{1}{2}(9.8)(2)^2=19.6 m$

Here the mass of the object has been doubled, so now it is

M = 6 kg

For part A) (final velocity of the object), we notice that the equation that we use to find the velocity does not depend at all on the mass of the object. This means that the value of the final velocity is not affected.

For part B) (kinetic energy), we notice that the kinetic energy depends on the mass, so in this case this value has changed.

The new kinetic energy is

$KE'=\frac{1}{2}Mv^2$
