Answer:

Isolation of Variables.

Explanation:

I am just taking a guess but Experimental investigations allow you to isolate variables (making most variables constant, allowing only the independent variable to have an impact on the dependent variable). With other scientific investigations, if they don't isolate the variables it is very possible that an unknown third variable could be skewing the results (which will result in correlation but not causation).

Answer:

Experimental investigations are the best type of scientific investigation to demonstrate cause-and-effect relationships because they allow the investigator to actively manipulate variables and control conditions. The independent variable can be isolated and manipulated, producing a change (or no change) in the dependent variable. This change can be measured to gather evidence to support or refute the cause-and-effect relationship. Experimental investigations also use a control group (a group that does not receive the factor being tested) for comparison.

What is the voltage across a semiconductor bar if the current through it is 0.17 A? The electron concentration in the bar is 2.7

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

The voltage across a semiconductor bar is 0.068 V.

Explanation:

Given that,

Current = 0.17 A

Electron concentration $n= 2.7\times10^{18}\ cm^{-3}$

Electron mobility $\mu=1000 cm^2/Vs$

Length = 0.1 mm

Area = 500 μm²

We need to calculate the resistivity

Using formula of resistivity

$\sigma=n\times q\times \mu$

$\rho=\dfrac{1}{\sigma}$

Put the value into the formula

$\rho=\dfrac{1}{2.7\times10^{18}\times10^{6}\times1.6\times10^{-19}\times1000\times10^{-4}}$

$\rho=2\ \mu \Omega m$

We need to calculate the resistance

Using formula of resistance

$R=\dfrac{\rho l}{A}$

$R=\dfrac{2\times10^{-6}\times0.1\times10^{-3}}{500\times(10^{-6})^2}$

$R=0.4\ \Omega$

We need to calculate the voltage

Using formula of voltage

$V= IR$

Put the value into the formula

$V=0.17\times0.4$

$V=0.068\ V$

Hence, The voltage across a semiconductor bar is 0.068 V.

Dimension of density <br>

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

See the explanation below.

Explanation:

We know that density is defined as the relationship between mass and volume.

$Ro = m/V$

where:

m = mass [kg]

V = volume [m³]

Therefore Ro is given in:

$[kg/m^{3} ]$

The sound intensity of a certain type of food processor in normally distributed with standard deviation of 2.9 decibels. If the

Maru [420]

Answer: $(48.41,\ 52.19)$

Explanation:

The confidence interval for population mean is given by :-

$\overline{x}\pm z_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

Given : Sample size : $n=9$

Sample mean : $\ovreline{x}=50.3\text{ decibels}$

Standard deviation : $\sigma=2.9\text{ decibels }$

Significance level : $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$

Critical value : $z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.025}=1.96$

Now, the 95% confidence interval estimate of the (true, unknown) mean sound intensity of all food processors of this type :-

$50.3\pm (1.96)\dfrac{2.9}{\sqrt{9}}\\\\\approx50.3\pm1.89\\\\=(50.3-1.89,\ 50.3+1.89)=(48.41,\ 52.19)$

An 100 kg object traveling at 50 m/s collides (perfectly inelastic) with a 50 kg object initially at rest.

qaws [65]

Answer:

Option C. 5,000 kg m/s

Explanation:

<u>Linear Momentum on a System of Particles </u>

Is defined as the sum of the momenta of each particles in a determined moment. The individual momentum is the product of the mass of the particle by its speed

P=mv

The question refers to an 100 kg object traveling at 50 m/s who collides with another object of 50 kg object initially at rest. We compute the moments of each object

$m_1=(100\ kg)(50\ m/s)=5,000\ kg\ m/s$

$m_2=(50\ kg)(0\ m/s) = 0$

The sum of the momenta of both objects prior to the collision is

$P=5,000\ kg\ m/s+0\ kg\ m/s$

$\boxed{ P=5,000\ kg\ m/s}$

Determine the total amount of heat, in joules, required to completely vaporize a 50.0-gram sample of h2o(?) at its boiling point

Tanzania [10]

In order to calculate the amount of energy required, we must first check the latent heat of vaporization of water from literature. The latent heat of vaporization of any substance is the amount of energy required per unit mass to convert that substance from a solid to a liquid. For water this is 2,260 J/g. We now use the formula:
Energy = mass * latent heat
Q = 50 * 2,260
Q = 113,000 J

113,000 Joules of heat energy are required.
