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

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

A 1000-kg whale swims horizontally to the right at a speed of 6.0 m/s. it suddenly collides directly with a stationary seal of m
Sphinxa [80]

M = mass of the whale = 1000 kg

m = mass of the seal = 200 kg

V = initial velocity of whale before collision with the seal = 6.0 m/s

v = initial velocity of the seal before collision with the whale = 0 m/s

V' = final velocity of two sea creatures after collision = ?

Using conservation of momentum

M V + m v = (M + m) V'

inserting the above values in the equation

(1000 kg) (6.0 m/s) + (200 kg) (0 m/s ) = (1000 kg + 200 kg) V'

6000 kgm/s + 0 kgm/s = (1200 kg) V'

V' = (6000 kgm/s ) /(1200 kg)

V' = 5 m/s

How do physicists use measurements to understand the natural world?? Use scientific language to describe your evidence.
34kurt

Answer:

Measurements are used to describe quantitatively real-life situations

Explanation:

Measurement refers to the act of assigning a number (with a unit) to a characteristic of an object or an event.

For example: when we want to measure the size of an object, we can use a rule to measure its length, and we assign a number with a unit for that quantity (for example, 5 cm). In this case, we have done a measurement.

Measurements are used by scientists in order to understand the natural worlds. In fact, without measurements it would be impossible to describe phenomena of the real world quantitatively: it would be only possible to describe them qualitatively, and therefore it would not be possible for instance to derive mathematical laws that describe those phenomena.

A 10.0-µF capacitor is charged so that the potential difference between its plates is 10.0 V. A 5.0-µF capacitor is similarly ch
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

First Capacitor is 10 µF

C_1 = 10 µF

Potential difference is

V_1 = 10 V.

The charge on the plate is

q_1 = C_1 × V_1 = 10 × 10^-6 × 10 = 100µC

q_1 = 100 µC

A second capacitor is 5 µF

C_2 = 5 µF

Potential difference is

V_2 = 5V.

Then, the charge on the capacitor 2 is.

q_2 = C_2 × V_2

q_2 = 5µF × 5 = 25 µC

Then, the average capacitance is

q = (q_1 + q_2) / 2

q = (25 + 100) / 2

q = 62.5µC

B. The two capacitor are connected together, then the equivalent capacitance is

Ceq = C_1 + C_2.

Ceq = 10 µF + 5 µF.

Ceq = 15 µF.

The average voltage is

V = (V_1 + V_2) / 2

V = (10 + 5)/2

V = 15 / 2 = 7.5V

Energy dissipated is

U = ½Ceq•V²

U = ½ × 15 × 10^-6 × 7.5²

U = 4.22 × 10^-4 J

U = 422 × 10^-6

U = 422 µJ
