Answer:

When conducting research, scientists use the scientific method to collect measurable, empirical evidence in an experiment related to a hypothesis (often in the form of an if/then statement), the results aiming to support or contradict a theory.

Nuclear energy is more harmful to the environment than a coal-fired power plant because it produces more mercury, air pollution,

krok68 [10]

A nuclear power plant doesn't produce any of those things. It only produces electricity and heat. As long as there are no accidents, and the worn out nuclear fuel is handled properly, the nuclear plant isn't harmful to the environment at all.

Suppose that a teacher driving a 1972 LeMans zooms out of a darkened tunnel at 34.5 m/s. He is momentarily blinded by the sunshi

valkas [14]

Answer:

489.19m

Explanation:

To find the minimum distance you first calculate the time in which the teacher stops:

$v=v_o-at\\\\t=\frac{v_o-v}{a}=\frac{34.5m/s-0m/s}{2.5m/s^2}=13.8s$

however, the reaction of the teacher is 0.31s later, then you use

t=13.8-0.31s=13.49s

during this time the camper has traveled a distance of:

$x=vt=(15.1m/s)(13.49s)=203.69m$ (1)

Next you calculate the distance that teacher has traveled for 13.6s:

$x=x_o+v_ot+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\\x=0m+34.5m/s(13.49s)+\frac{1}{2}(2.5m/s^2)(13.49s)^2=692.88m$ (2)

The minimum distance between the driver and the camper will be the difference between (2) and (1):

$x_{min}=692.88m-203.69m=489.19m$

A bob attached to a string of length L = 1.25 m, initially found at the equilibrium

malfutka [58]

The maximum displacement angle of the bob is 13⁰.

The given parameters;

<em>Length of the pendulum, L = 1.25 m</em>
<em>Initial velocity of the bob, v = 0.8 m/s</em>

The maximum displacement of the bob is calculated by applying the principle of conservation of energy;

$P.E = K.E\\\\mgh = \frac{1}{2} mv^2\\\\h = \frac{v^2}{2g} \\\\h = \frac{0.8^2}{2\times 10} \\\\h = 0.032 \ m$

The maximum displacement angle is calculated as follows;

$cos \theta = \frac{L-h}{L} \\\\cos \theta = \frac{1.25 - 0.032}{1.25} \\\\\cos \theta = \frac{1.218}{1.25} \\\\cos \theta = 0.9744\\\\\theta = cos^{-1}(0.9744)\\\\\theta = 13\ ^0$

Thus, the maximum displacement angle of the bob is 13⁰.
