Which three quantities can be used to calculate acceleration?
PtichkaEL [24]
D is the correct answer, assuming that this is the special case of classical kinematics at constant acceleration. You can use the equation V = Vo + at, where Vo is the initial velocity, V is the final velocity, and t is the time elapsed. In D, all three of these values are given, so you simply solve for a, the acceleration.
A and C are clearly incorrect, as mass and force (in terms of projectile motion) have no effect on an object's motion. B is incorrect because it is not useful to know the position or distance traveled, unless it will help you find displacement. Even then, you would not have enough information to use a kinematics equation to find a.

A block of ice at 0°C is added to a 150g aluminum calorimeter cup which holds 210 g of water at 12°C. If all but 2.0 g of ice me
Over [174]

Answer:

original mass of the block of ice is 38.34 gram

Explanation:

Given data

cup mass = 150 g

ice temperature = 0°C

water mass = 210 g

water temperature = 12°C

ice melt = 2 gram

to find out

solution

we know here

specific heat of aluminum is c = 0.900 joule/gram °C

Specific heat of water C =  4.186 joule/gram °C

so here temperature difference is dt =  12- 0 = 12°C

so here heat lost by water and cup are given by

heat lost  = cup mass × c  × dt + water  mass × C × dt

heat lost  = 150 × 0.900  × 12 + 210 × 4.186 × 12

heat lost  = 12168.72 J

so

mass of ice melt here = heat lost / latent heat of fusion

here we know latent heat of fusion = 334.88 joule/gram

so

mass of ice melt  =  12168.72 / 334.88

mass of ice melt  is 36.337554 gram

so mass of ice is here = mass of ice melt + ice melt

mass of ice  =  36.337554 + 2

mass of ice  =  38.337554 gram

so original mass of the block of ice is 38.34 gram

Give an example of a scientific hypothesis. Explain how you would test it, and how it could be falsified (proved untrue).
kaheart [24]

my hypothesis is that If you drop a piece of buttered toast, it will land butter side down.


I tested it by dropping 10 pieces of buttered toast off the table and noted on which side it landed


It could be falsified cause I just made all of this up. In essence, it's like flipping a coin, 50/50 chance so I could say that 5 landed butter up and 5 landed butter down.
