Answer:

a. 6.04 m/s^2 (3 sig. fig.) b.  T = 30.2 N

Explanation:

a) Assume that the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s^2 downwards

8x9.81 = (5+8)a

a = 6.04 m/s^2 (3 sig. fig.)

b) Using the results from (a)

   T = 5(6.04)

   T = 30.2 N

Give an example of hypothesis for an experiment and then identify its dependent and independent variables. Write all the steps o
e-lub [12.9K]
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!

A 5kg object is moving at a height of 2 m. The potential energy of the object is closest to ___ j
elena55 [62]

Answer:

In this case, a body of mass 5 kg kept at a height of 10 m. So the potential energy is given as 5 * 10 *10 = 500 J.

In physics, why would an equation like y=mx+b be plotted as a straight line rather than as a parabola, as is done in math?
notka56 [123]

Answer:

Explanation:

In Both Physics and Math

y=mx+b is plotted as straight line where

m=slope of line

b=intercept on Y-axis

whereas Equation of parabola is something like this

y^2=4ax

or

x^2=4ay

Math is a tool to solve Physics problems so equations are same in math and physics
