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 mass M is attached to an ideal massless spring. When this system is set in motion with amplitude A, it has a period T. What is

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

The period of the motion will still be equal to T.

Explanation:

for a system with mass = M

attached to a massless spring.

If the system is set in motion with an amplitude (distance from equilibrium position) A

and has period T

The equation for the period T is given as

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{M}{k} }$

where k is the spring constant

If the amplitude is doubled, the distance from equilibrium position to the displacement is doubled.

Increasing the amplitude also increases the restoring force. An increase in the restoring force means the mass is now accelerated to cover more distance in the same period, so the restoring force cancels the effect of the increase in amplitude. Hence, increasing the amplitude has no effect on the period of the mass and spring system.

What speed would a proton need to achieve in order to circle Earth 1790 km above the magnetic equator, where the Earth's mag- ne

irinina [24]

Answer:

The velocity is 31.25 m/s and direction is toward west.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance $h= 1790 km = 1.790\times10^{6}\ m$

Magnetic field $B=4\times10^{-8}\ T$

Mass of proton $m=1.673\times10^{-21}\ Kg$

Radius of earth $R =6.38\times10^{6}\ m$

Radius of orbit $r=R+h$

$r=6.38\times10^{6}+1.790\times10^{6}$

$r=8170000\ m$

We need to calculate the speed

Using formula of magnetic field

$Bvq=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

$v=\dfrac{Bqr}{m}$

Put the value into the formula

$v=\dfrac{4\times10^{-8}\times1.6\times10^{-19}\times8170000}{1.673\times10^{-21}}$

$v=31.25\ m/s$

Hence, The velocity is 31.25 m/s and direction is toward west.

It was once recorded that a Jaguar

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

71.85 m/s

Explanation:

Given the following :

Length of skid marks left by jaguar (s) = 290 m

Skidding Acceleration (a) = - 8.90m/s²

Final velocity of jaguar (v) = 0

Speed of Jaguar before it Began to skid =?

Hence, initial speed of jaguar could be obtained using the formula :

v² = u² + 2as

Where

v = final speed of jaguar ; u = initial speed of jaguar(before it Began to skid) ; a = acceleration of jaguar ; s = distance /length of skid marks left by jaguar

0² = u² + (2 × (-8.90) × 290)

0 = u² + (-5,162)

u² = 5162

Take the square root of both sides

u = √5162

u = 71.847 m/s

u = 71.85m/s
