Answer:

IF the price of chocolate increases, THEN the amount of chocolate people buy decreases

Explanation:

In a scientific investigation, an observation is first made. Based on this observation, a scientific question is then asked. However, a HYPOTHESIS is given next to explain the question asked. A hyothesis is a testable explanation given to solve an observed problem or provide a possible answer to a question.

The hypothesis must be subject to testing via EXPERIMENTATION. A hypothesis usually goes in an IF, THEN format. In this case with the testable question: How does price affect the amount of chocolate people buy?

A hypothesis that can explain this question is: IF the price of chocolate increases, THEN the amount of chocolate people buy decreases.

If an object went from 0 m/s to 6 m/s in 1.7 seconds after a 10 N force was applied to it; what is the object's mass? No links p

Mashcka [7]

The force acting on the object is constant, so the acceleration of the object is also constant. By definition of average acceleration, this acceleration was

a = ∆v / ∆t = (6 m/s - 0) / (1.7 s) ≈ 3.52941 m/s²

By Newton's second law, the magnitude of the force F is proportional to the acceleration a according to

F = m a

where m is the object's mass. Solving for m gives

m = F / a = (10 N) / (3.52941 m/s²) ≈ 2.8 kg

1) Average speed

2) Displacement

Explanation:

Speed is a scalar quantity which gives a measure of how fast a body is moving. It is equal to the ratio between the distance travelled by an object and the time taken to cover that distance:

$speed = \frac{d}{\Delta t}$

where

d is the distance covered

$\Delta t$ is the time taken

It is important to note that being a scalar, speed does not have any direction. Moreover, distance is also a scalar quantity, which corresponds to the total length of the path covered by the object, regardless on the direction taken.

So, the equation "travelled distance/elapsed time" corresponds to the average speed. (where the term average refers to the fact we are not measuring the speed at a specific instant in time, but on a certain time interval $\Delta t$ .

Velocity is a vector quantity, so it has both a magnitude and a direction.

The magnitude of the velocity is given by:

$velocity=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}$

where

$\Delta x$ is the change in position (or displacement) of the object

$\Delta t$ is the time taken

And the direction of the velocity corresponds to the direction of the displacement.

We must note that while distance does not depend on the direction, displacement does. In fact, displacement measures the difference between the initial and final position of the object.

Therefore, the equation "change in position / elapsed time" is equal to the average velocity.
