Answer:
C. The voltage drop across the resistor is 2.1V and nothing about the current through the resistor.
Explanation:
When connected in parallel, voltage across the resistances are the same. So if 2.1V was dropped across the LED then 2.1V was also dropped across the resistor. However, this tells us nothing about the current through the resistor. We can find the current across the resistor if we know the resistance of the resistor, but that's about it.
If it were a series connection, then the current would have been the same, but the voltage drop were another story.
Answer:
3675 J
Explanation:
Gravitational Potential Energy = 
× mass × g × height
( g is the gravitation field strength )
Mass = 50 kg
G = 9.8 N/kg ( this is always the same )
Height = 15 m
Gravitational Potential Energy = × 50 ×9.8 × 15
= 3675 J
Answer:
The semi truck travels at an initial speed of 69.545 meters per second downwards.
Explanation:
In this exercise we see a case of an entirely inellastic collision between the semi truck and the car, which can be described by the following equation derived from Principle of Linear Momentum Conservation: (We assume that velocity oriented northwards is positive)
(1)
Where:
, 
- Masses of the semi truck and the car, measured in kilograms.
, 
- Initial velocities of the semi truck and the car, measured in meters per second.
- Final speed of the system after collision, measured in meters per second.
If we know that 
, 
, 
and 
, then the initial velocity of the semi truck is:
The semi truck travels at an initial speed of 69.545 meters per second downwards.
An example of a hypothesis for an experiment might be: “A basketball will bounce higher if there is more air it”
Step one would be to make an observation... “hey, my b-ball doesn’t have much air in it, and it isn’t bouncing ver high”
Step two is to form your hypothesis: “A basketball will bounce higher if there is more air it”
Step three is to test your hypothesis: maybe you want to drop the ball from a certain height, deflate it by some amount and then drop it from that same height again, and record how high the ball bounced each time.
Here the independent variable is how much air is in the basketball (what you want to change) and the dependent variable is how high the b-ball will bounce (what will change as a result of the independent variable)
Step four is to record all of your results and step five is to analyze that data. Does your data support your hypothesis? Why or why not?
You should only test one variable at a time because it is easier to tell why the results are how they are; you only have one cause.
Hope this helps!
