Which action describes an experimental investigation?

A college student holds a pail full of water by the handle and whirls it around in a vertical circle at a constant speed. The ra

Pavlova-9 [17]

The minimum speed of the water must be 3.4 m/s

Explanation:

There are two forces acting on the water in the pail when it is at the top of its circular motion:

The force of gravity, mg, acting downward (where m is the mass of the water and g the acceleration of gravity)
The normal reaction, N also acting downward

Since the water is in circular motion, the net force must be equal to the centripetal force, so:

$N+mg=m\frac{v^2}{r}$

Where:

$g=9.8 m/s^2$

v is the speed of the pail

r = 1.2 m is the radius of the circle

The water starts to spill out when the normal reaction of the pail becomes zero:

N = 0

When this occurs, the equation becomes:

$mg=m\frac{v^2}{r}\\v=\sqrt{gr}$

And substitutin the values of g and r, we find the minimum speed that the water must have in order not to spill out:

$v=\sqrt{(9.8)(1.2)}=3.4 m/s$

How is the electrostatic force affected when the magnitude of a charge is doubled?

BaLLatris [955]

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charges is given by:
$F=k_e \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$
where
ke is the Coulomb's constant
q1 and q2 are the two charges
r is the separation between the two charges

We can see that the magnitude of the force is directly proportional to the charges. This means that when one of the charges is doubled, the magnitude of the electrostatic force will double as well, so the correct answer is
A) <span>The magnitude of the electrostatic force doubles</span>

Adding or removing thermal energy to or from a substance does not always cause its temperature

julia-pushkina [17]

Change in thermal energy not always cause it's temperature change. It is the situation when water reaches either at 0 C or 100 C then thermal energy doesn't cause change in temperature instead it changes the state of matter.

In short, Your Answer would be "True"

Hope this helps!

What is the acceleration of the the object during the first 4 seconds?

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

Velocity (m/s) over time (s) graph

We could write out our average acceleration as:

a = Δv/ Δta=Δv/Δta, equals, Δ, v, slash, Δ, t

a = (15 m/s - 0 m/s) / 0.2 seconds

a = 15 m/s / 0.2 seconds

a = 75 m/s / second

Explanation:

What this formula is telling us is that if we know the acceleration of an object, and the ... we can plug in our acceleration of 12.5 m/s2 for a, and 4 seconds for t.

What is the charge of an atom that has lost one electron?

Luden [163]

Answer:

positive

An atom has a even amount of protons, electrons, and a little less neutrons. If the atom lost one electron, then it now has a positive charge.
