Mr. Covault gave his students an assignment to design and conduct experiments that would allow them to find the relationship bet

ween force, mass, and acceleration. Some students decided to use a setup like the one below:
The applied force in this setup is equal to the weight of the item attached to the end of the pulley. One student tested the acceleration due to this force on a wooden block (as shown above); another student used a wheeled cart instead of a wooden block.

Mr. Covault's other students decided to simply drop objects. The force in that case is the weight of the object.

All the students measured the time it took each object, starting from rest, to move a certain distance. They used the time and distance to calculate the average acceleration.

Four students' results are shown below. A successful experiment should eliminate all forces acting on the object except the force being investigated. The experiment should confirm Newton's second law:



One newton (N) is 1 kg·m/s2.

Which of the following students had a well designed and conducted experiment?

Student Mass
(kg) Force
(N) Measured
Acceleration
(m/s2)
Kira 0.21 0.098 0.0047
Sophie 0.11 0.098 0.88

Answer:

Sophie

Explanation:

Only Sophie's results supported Newton's second law. The other students' measured accelerations were significantly lower than expected. This could indicate that their experimental designs had not sufficiently eliminated drag forces.

F=ma         Rearranging when solving for acceleration gives:  a=F/m

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

x = 2000 Km

Explanation:

Given

y = 10 km

Slope: 1 : 200

x = ?

We can apply the formula

y / x = 1 / 200   ⇒     x = 200*y = 200*10 Km

⇒     x = 2000 Km

What happens if a mid-ocean ridge occurs on land
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

Despite being such prominent feature on our planet, much of the mid-ocean ridge system remains a mystery. While we have mapped about half of the global mid-ocean ridge in high resolution, less than one percent of the mid-ocean ridge has been explored in detail using submersibles or remotely operated vehicles. so therefore we do not have enough information about them to know what will happen

Explanation:

A mid-ocean ridge or mid-oceanic ridge is an underwater mountain range, formed by plate tectonics. This uplifting of the ocean floor occurs when convection currents rise in the mantle beneath the oceanic crust and create magma where two tectonic plates meet at a divergent boundary. Mid-ocean ridges occur along divergent plate boundaries, where new ocean floor is created as the Earth’s tectonic plates spread apart. As the plates separate, molten rock rises to the seafloor, producing enormous volcanic eruptions of basalt. The speed of spreading affects the shape of a ridge  slower spreading rates result in steep, irregular topography while faster spreading rates produce much wider profiles and more gentle slopes.

Which of the following cannot be determined from the spectrum of a star?
Aneli [31]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above would be the last option. It is the chemicals in the core of the star that cannot be determined from the spectrum of a star. Spectrum shows the different classification of the stars depending on their spectral characteristics. It usually involves the light, the wavelength and the distance.

Find the electric field a distance z above a circular ring carrying a constant line charge. For extra credit you may derive the
lora16 [44]

Answer:

F = 8.23 × 10⁻⁸N

Explanation:

F= kq²/r²

k= 9×10⁹Nm²/C²

q= 1.6×10⁻¹⁹C

r= 5.29×10⁻¹¹m

F= 9×10⁹× (1.6×10⁻¹⁹)²/  (5.29×10⁻¹¹)²

F = 8.23 × 10⁻⁸N
