Answer:
-0.55m/s
Explanation:
Given that: For the boy
Weight = 745N
Velocity = +0.35 m/s
Mass of the boy = ?
g = 9.81m/s^2
W = mg
745 = m×9.81
m = 75.94kg
For the girl
Given that:
Weight = 477 N
g = 9.81m/s^2
m = ?
W = mg
477 = m×9.81m/s^2
m = 48.62kg
To solve for the v of the girl, the two has to add up
48.62kg×v + 75.94kg×+0.35 m/s = 0
48.62v + 26.579 = 0
48.62v = - 26.579
v = -26.579/48.62
v = -0.5466
v = -0.55m/s
Hence, the velocity of the girl is -0.55m/s.
The negative sign is as a result of the two of them moving is opposite direction.
It's not so much a "contradiction" as an approximation. Newton's law of gravitation is an inverse square law whose range is large. It keeps people on the ground, and it keeps satellites in orbit and that's some thousands of km. The force on someone on the ground - their weight - is probably a lot larger than the centripetal force keeping a satellite in orbit (though I've not actually done a calculation to totally verify this). The distance a falling body - a coin, say - travels is very small, and over such a small distance gravity is assumed/approximated to be constant.
Answer:
C. Fill two identical pots with equal volumes of salt water and tap water and use a stopwatch to determine the time it takes each pot to boil.
Explanation:
<u>A) is incorrect</u> because Peter should have the same testing environment for both of his experiments.
He should choose the same method of boiling the salt water and tap water because the stovetop and the microwave could also affect the results and make them unreliable.
<u>B) is incorrect</u> because Peter should not estimate the time it takes the salt water and tap water to boil.
Peter should measure and record the amount of time that it takes these substances to boil in order to have an accurate, valid experimental thesis.
<u>C) is correct</u> because Peter uses the same volume of salt water and tap water, fills them into two identical pots, and uses a stopwatch to determine the amount of time it takes each pot to boil.
The stopwatch makes the experiment more valid and accurate compared to the previous methods, and the identical pots and amounts of water help this experiment become even more precise.
<u>D) is incorrect</u> because the variables in the experiment are not controlled amounts and will therefore produce an inaccurate and invalid experiment.
