What is the difference between obtaining knowledge from a controlled experiment versus other forms of scientific investigation?

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.

A long, straight wire of radius R carries a steady current I that is uniformly distributed through the cross section of the wire

vitfil [10]

Answer:

a

When $r \ge R$

$B = \frac{ \mu_o * I}{ 2 \pi r }$

b

When $r< R$

$B = [\frac{\mu_o * I }{ 2 \pi R^2} ]* r$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The radius is R

The current is I

The distance from the center

Ampere's law is mathematically represented as

$B[2 \pi r] = \mu_o * \frac{I r^2 }{R^2 }$

$B = \frac{ \mu_o}{2 \pi } * \frac{r}{R^2}$

When $r \ge R$

=> $B = \frac{ \mu_o * I}{ 2 \pi r }$

But when $r< R$

$B = [\frac{\mu_o * I }{ 2 \pi R^2} ]* r$

A 69 kg zebra is traveling 7 m/s east. What is the zebra’s momentum? kg-m/s

Hitman42 [59]

Linear momentum is the product of mass and velocity. In this case, it is simply:
$69\times 7 = 483 kg\cdot m/s$

Two waiters are trying to get through a single door of a kitchen. One pushes on one side of a door 0.567 m from the hinge with a

NISA [10]

Answer:

$275.5 N$

Explanation:

$F_{1}$ = Force on one side of the door by first waiter = 257 N

$F_{2}$ = Force on other side of the door by second waiter

$r_{1}$ = distance of first force by first waiter from hinge = 0.567 m

$r_{2}$ = distance of second force by second waiter from hinge = 0.529 m

Since the door does not move. hence the door is in equilibrium

Using equilibrium of torque by force applied by each waiter

$r_{1} F_{1} = r_{2} F_{2} \\(0.567) (257) = (0.529) F_{2}\\F_{2} = 275.5 N$

A railroad track and a road cross at right angles. An observer stands on the road and watches an eastbound train traveling at 60

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

After 4 s of passing through the intersection, the train travels with 57.6 m/s

Solution:

As per the question:

Suppose the distance to the south of the crossing watching the east bound train be x = 70 m

Also, the east bound travels as a function of time and can be given as:

y(t) = 60t

Now,

To calculate the speed, z(t) of the train as it passes through the intersection:

Since, the road cross at right angles, thus by Pythagoras theorem:

$z(t) = \sqrt{x^{2} + y(t)^{2}}$

$z(t) = \sqrt{70^{2} + 60t^{2}}$

Now, differentiate the above eqn w.r.t 't':

$\frac{dz(t)}{dt} = \frac{1}{2}.\frac{1}{sqrt{3600t^{2} + 4900}}\times 2t\times 3600$

$\frac{dz(t)}{dt} = \frac{1}{sqrt{3600t^{2} + 4900}}\times 3600t$

For t = 4 s:

$\frac{dz(4)}{dt} = \frac{1}{sqrt{3600\times 4^{2} + 4900}}\times 3600\times 4 = 57.6\ m/s$
