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)

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

According to the kinetic theory, collisions between molecules in a gas _____.a.are inelasticb.never occurc. cause a loss of tota
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

d. perfectly elastic

Explanation:

According to the kinetic theory for collisions of gas molecules:

1.The loss of energy is negligible or we can say that it is zero.

2.Molecules of the gas move in a random manner.

3.The collision between molecules and with the wall of the container is perfectly elastic.That is why loss in the energy is zero.

Therefore the correct answer will be d.

d. perfectly elastic

Which property of light is a constant in a vacuum?
faust18 [17]

Answer:

La velocidad de la luz en el vacío es una constante universal con el valor de 299 792 458 m/s (186 282,397 mi/s),​​aunque suele aproximarse a 3·108 m/s. Se simboliza con la letra c, proveniente del latín celéritās (en español, celeridad o rapidez).

¿Cuál es la consecuencia que a velocidad de la luz sea constante?

Respuesta. En modificaciones del vacío más sutiles, como espacios curvos, efecto Casimir, poblaciones térmicas o presencia de campos externos, la velocidad de la luz depende de la densidad de energía de ese vacío.
