Answer:

Any scientific investigation in its simplest form involves collecting information, while a controlled experiment is a tightly controlled investigation that tests a hypothesis.

Explanation:

All the scientific investigations start with a particular question. The question decides what type of investigation should research take. A controlled experiment is an investigation which allows a particular variable to change and all other variable controlled to remain constant to see the effect on dependent variable to test a particular hypothesis while other types of investigations are used to increase the knowledge or information about the particular research subject.

The dimensions of a cylinder are changing, but the height is always equal to the diameter of the base of the cylinder. If the he

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

dV/dt = 9 cubic inches per second

Explanation:

Let the height of the cylinder is h

Diameter of cylinder = height of the cylinder = h

Radius of cylinder, r = h/2

dh/dt = 3 inches /s

Volume of cylinder is given by

$V = \pi r^{2}h$

put r = h/2 so,

$V = \pi \frac{h^{3}}{4}$

Differentiate both sides with respect to t.

$\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{3h^{2}}{4}\times \frac{dh}{dt}$

Substitute the values, h = 2 inches, dh/dt = 3 inches / s

$\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{3\times 2\times 2}{4}\times 3$

dV/dt = 9 cubic inches per second

Thus, the volume of cylinder increases by the rate of 9 cubic inches per second.

The electric field vector acts in the same direction as the force F vector if q is positive and in the opposite direction if q i

Contact [7]

Answer: Electric field vector is created by an electric force of a charged particle.

Explanation: The direction of the field vector can be determined by applying Coulomb’s Law which explains the electric force between charge particles. If q is positive the force is repulsive, to a test charge ( which is positive always ) and if q is negative the force is attractive to a test charge.

Please Help. I would Really Appreciate it

Answer:

a) 0.60 kg cart has final velocity 3.0 m/s [E]

0.80 kg cart has final velocity 4.0 m/s [W]

b) 0.12 m

Explanation:

Take east to be positive.

a) Momentum is conserved.

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

(0.60) (-5.0) + (0.80) (2.0) = (0.60) v₁ + (0.80) v₂

-1.4 = 0.6 v₁ + 0.8 v₂

Kinetic energy is conserved in elastic collisions.

½ m₁u₁² + ½ m₂u₂² = ½ m₁v₁² + ½ m₂v₂²

m₁u₁² + m₂u₂² = m₁v₁² + m₂v₂²

(0.60) (-5.0)² + (0.80) (2.0)² = (0.60) v₁² + (0.80) v₂²

18.2 = 0.6 v₁² + 0.8 v₂²

Solve the system of equations.

-1.4 = 0.6 v₁ + 0.8 v₂

-1.4 − 0.6 v₁ = 0.8 v₂

-1.75 − 0.75 v₁ = v₂

18.2 = 0.6 v₁² + 0.8 (-1.75 − 0.75 v₁)²

18.2 = 0.6 v₁² + 0.8 (3.0625 +2.625 v₁ + 0.5625 v₁²)

182 = 6 v₁² + 8 (3.0625 + 2.625 v₁ + 0.5625 v₁²)

182 = 6 v₁² + 24.5 + 21 v₁ + 4.5 v₁²

0 = 10.5 v₁² + 21 v₁ − 157.5

0 = v₁² + 2 v₁ − 15

0 = (v₁ − 3) (v₁ + 5)

v₁ = 3 or -5

Since u₁ = -5.0 m/s, v₁ must be 3.0 m/s.

Solving for v₂:

v₂ = -0.75 v₁ − 1.75

v₂ = -4.0 m/s

b) The compression of the spring is a maximum when the carts have the same velocity.

Momentum is conserved.

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = (m₁ + m₂) v

(0.60) (-5.0) + (0.80) (2.0) = (0.60 + 0.80) v

-1.4 = 1.4 v

v = -1.0

Energy is conserved.

½ m₁u₁² + ½ m₂u₂² = ½ (m₁ + m₂) v² + ½ kx²

m₁u₁² + m₂u₂² = (m₁ + m₂) v² + kx²

(0.60) (-5.0)² + (0.80) (2.0)² = (0.60 + 0.80) (-1.0)² + (1200) x²

18.2 = 1.4 + 1200 x²

16.8 = 1200 x²

x² = 0.014

x = 0.12
