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.

The floor of a railroad flatcar is loaded with loose crates having a coefficient of static friction of 0.320 with the floor. If
mart [117]

Answer:  29.50 m

Explanation: In order to calculate the higher accelation to stop a train  without moving the crates inside the wagon which is traveling at constat speed we have to use the second Newton law so that:

f=μ*N the friction force is equal to coefficient of static friction  multiply the normal force (m*g).

f=m.a=μ*N= m*a= μ*m*g= m*a

then

a=μ*g=0.32*9.8m/s^2= 3.14 m/s^2

With this value we can determine the short distance to stop the train

as follows:

x= vo*t- (a/2)* t^2

Vf=0= vo-a*t then t=vo/a

Finally; x=vo*vo/a-a/2*(vo/a)^2=vo^2/2a= (49*1000/3600)^2/(2*3.14)=29.50 m

It is believed that increasing amounts of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere will result in
Jobisdone [24]

"Belief" is not involved.  

<em>Choice-A</em> is the correct answer. Except that it's not "... will result in ...".  It's already happening.

The people who have been keeping records of temperatures at a thousand places around the world, for the past hundred years, do not "believe".  They know that average global temperatures are increasing, and have been increasing steadily for a couple of Centuries now.

Working from hypotheses, models, observations, and proven laws of nature, the global scientific community are convinced that increasing amounts of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, driven by human activity, are the cause of the trend in average global temperatures.

Yes, you can find published researchers who aren't so sure, and who disagree with this conclusion.  The scientific community is <em>never</em> 100% unanimous.  There were reasonable investigators and scientific observers who disagreed with Galileo, Newton, Faraday, Maxwell, Hawking and Einstein, in their time.  

But the voices that dispute human-caused climate change in the form of global warming are few, and they're becoming fewer as time goes on. Today, their reputation sits just a few notches above that of the Flat-Earthers, and it's continuing to sag further.

If we are to do what has to be done, in time to bring about the needed effect, it can't sag fast enough.
