A student is provided with a battery-powered toy car that the manufacturer claims will always operate at a constant speed. The s

tudent must design an experiment in order to test the validity of the claim. Which of the following measuring tools can the student use to test the validity of the claim?
a. Photogates placed at the beginning, end, and at various locations along the track that the car travels on.
b. A meterstick to measure the distance of the track that the car travels on.
c. A motion detector that is oriented perpendicular to the direction that the car travels.
d. A mass balance to determine the mass of the car

Answer:

a. Photogates placed at the beginning, end, and at various locations along the track that the car travels on.

b. A meterstick to measure the distance of the track that the car travels on.

Explanation:

Physics can be defined as the field or branch of science that typically deals with nature and properties of matter, motion and energy with respect to space, force and time.

In this scenario, a student is provided with a battery-powered toy car that the manufacturer claims will always operate at a constant speed. The student must design an experiment in order to test the validity of the claim.

Therefore, to test the validity of the claim, the student should use the following measuring tools;

a. Photogates placed at the beginning, end, and at various locations along the track that the car travels on. This device is typically used to measure time with respect to the rate of change of the interruption or block of an infra-red beam.

b. A meterstick to measure the distance of the track that the car travels on.

Hence, with these two devices the student can effectively measure or determine the validity of the claim.

A baseball player slides into third base with an initial speed of 4.0 m/s . if the coefficient of kinetic friction between the p
satela [25.4K]
The work done by the friction force to stop the player is equal to his loss of kinetic energy:
W= \Delta K

The work done by the friction force is the magnitude of the force \mu m g times the distance covered by the player, d:
W= \mu mg d

The loss in kinetic energy is simply equal to the initial kinetic energy of the player, since the final kinetic energy is zero (the player comes to rest):
\Delta K=K_i =  \frac{1}{2}mv^2

Substituting into the first equation, we get:
\mu m g d=  \frac{1}{2}mv^2
from which we find d, the distance covered by the player:
d= \frac{v^2}{2 \mu g}= \frac{(4.0 m/s)^2}{2 \cdot 0.4 \cdot 9.81 m/s^2}=2.04 m

What circuit that has only one path for the<br> current to follow?
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

Series circuit

Explanation:

By definition series circuit is a closed circuit in which the flow of electric current follows only one path.

In a simple electrical circuit (which is a series circuit) where electric cell is the source of power, each component is connected in such a way that there is only one pathway current flows from the positive terminal(+) round to the negative terminal(-) via the external circuit.

Current having only one pathway to flow means that when one of the components is removed, there will be no current flow.

Four complete waves pass the duck in one second the frequency of this wave is
galben [10]
The frequency of a wave is the number of complete oscillations passing a given point per second.

In this case, assuming the duck is stationary, we have 4 complete waves passing the duck in one second: therefore, the frequency of the wave is
f= \frac{4}{1 s}=4 Hz
