Answer:
A. The size of the ice patches
Explanation:
In an experiment, the control variable also known as the CONSTANT is the variable that must be kept uniform or the same for all groups throughout the experiment in order not to influence the outcome of the experiment.
According to the experiment described in this question, the effect of different salts on melting points is investigated by a student. Sodium chloride (NaCl), Calcium Chloride (CaCl2), Potassium Carbonate (KCO3) and inert sand are the four types of salt used. The volume of the ice used and melted was finally measured. This means that the SIZE OF THE ICE PATCHES USED is the control variable of the experiment as the same size was used for all groups throughout.
Answer:
the size of the ice patches

A marble is rolling across a smooth 1.2 m tall table at a velocity of 3 m/s. How far from the edge of the table does it land? (SHOW ALL OF YOUR WORK)
Answer:
S = 1/2 g t^2 where t is the time to fall 1.2 m
t = (2 S / g)^1/2 = (2 * 1.2 / 9.8) = .495 s
Sy = Vy T = 3 m/sec * .495 sec = 1.48 m distance from edge of table
(Rotational speed has no effect since table is smooth)
A car's bumper is designed to withstand a 5.04-km/h (1.4-m/s) collision with an immovable object without damage to the body of the car. The bumper cushions the shock by absorbing the force over a distance. Calculate the magnitude of the average force on a bumper that collapses 0.255 m while bringing a 890-kg car to rest from an initial speed of 1.4 m/s.
Answer:
3420.39 N
Explanation:
Applying,
Fd = 1/2(mv²-mu²)................. Equation 1
Where F = force on the bumber, d = distance, m = mass of the car, v = final velocity, u = initial velocity.
make F the subject of the equation
F = (mv²-mu²)/2d............... Equation 2
From the question,
Given: m = 890 kg, v = 0 m/s (to rest), u = 1.4 m/s, d = 0.255 m
Substitute these values into equation 2
F = [(890×0²)-(890×1.4²)]/(2×0.255)
F = -1744.4/0.51
F = -3420.39 N
The negative sign denotes that the force in opposite direction to the motion of the car.
A plane is flying a circular path at a speed of 55.0 m/ s, with a radius of 18.3 m. The centripetal force needed to maintain this motion is 3000 N. What is the plane's mass?
The plane has a centripetal acceleration a of
a = v ²/r
where v is the plane's tangential speed and r is the radius of the circle. By Newton's second law,
F = mv ²/r
Solve for the mass m :
m = Fr/v ² = (3000 N) (18.3 m) / (55.0 m/s)² ≈ 18.1 kg

Answer:
Part A
a) F = -16x + 4, b) x = 0.25 m, c) STABLE
Explanation:
Part A
a) Potential energy and force are related
F = [tex]- \frac{dU}{dx}[/tex]- dU / dx
F = - (8 2x -4)
F = -16x + 4
b) The object is in equilibrium when the forces are zero
0 = -16x + 4
x = 4/16
x = 0.25 m
c) An equilibrium position is called stable if with a small change in position, the forces make it return to the initial position, in case the forces make it move away it is called unstable.
In this case there is only one equilibrium point
by changing the position a bit
x ’= x + Δx
we substitute
F ’= - 16 x’ + 4
F ’= - 16 (x + Δx) + 4
F ’= (-16x +4) - 16 Δx
at equilibrium position F = 0
F ’= 0 - 16 Δx
we can see that the body returns to the equilibrium position, therefore it is STABLE
PART B
This is an exercise in body collisions, let's define the system formed by the two bodies in such a way that the forces during the collisions are internal and the moment is conserved
initial instant. Before the shock
p₀ = m v
final instant. After the crash
p_f = (m + M) v_f
We have two possibilities: an elastic collision in which the bodies separate, each one maintaining its plus, and an INELASTIC collision where the neutron is absorbed by the nucleus and the final mass is M '= m + M, in this case they indicate that the collision is elastic
p₀ = pf
mv = mv ’+ M v_f
in the case of the elastic collision, the kinetic energy is conserved
K₀ = K_f
½ m v² = ½ m v’² + ½ M v_f²
we write the system of equations
mv = mv ’+ M v_f (1)
m (v² -v'²) = M v_f ²
m (v - v ’) = M v_f
m (v-v ’) (v + v’) = M v_f
v + v ’= v_f
we substitute in equation 1 and solve
v ’=[tex]\frac{m -M }{m+M } \ vo[/tex]
v_f = [tex]\frac{2m}{m+M} \ v_o[/tex]
the mechanical energy of the neutron is
initial
Em₀ = K = ½ m v²
final moment
Em_f = K + U = ½ m v_f ² + U
U is the energy lost in the collision
total energy is conserved
Em₀ = Em_f
½ m v² = ½ m v_f ² + U
U = ½ m (v² -v_f ²)
U = ½ m [v² - ( [tex]\frac{m-M}{m+M}[/tex] v)² ]
U = ½ m v² [1- ( [tex]\frac{m-M}{m+M}[/tex] )² ]
U = ½ m v2 [ [tex]\frac{2M}{m+M}[/tex]]
U = [tex]\frac{2 mM}{m +M } \ v^2[/tex]
Let's do the same calculations for the nucleus
initial Em₀ = 0
final Em_f = K + U = ½ M v_f ² + U
Em₀ = Em_f
0 = K + U
U = -K
U = - ½ M v_f ²
U = - ½ M [ [tex]\frac{2m}{m+M} \ v[/tex] ]²
U = [tex]\frac{2 m M }{m+M} \ v^2[/tex]
We can see that we obtain the same result, that is, the potential energy lost by the neutron is equal to the potential energy gained by the nucleus.
b) the fraction of energy lost
f = U / Em₀
f = 4 m M / m + M
c) let's calculate the fraction of energy lost in a collision
m = 1.67 10⁻²⁷ kg
M = 12 1.67 10⁻²⁷= 20 10⁻²⁷ kg
f = 4 1.6 20 / (1.6+ 20) 10⁻²⁷
f = 5.92 10⁻²⁷ J
the energy of a fast neutron is greater than 1 eV
Eo = 1 eV (1.67 10⁻¹⁹ J / 1eV) = 1.67 10⁻¹⁹ J
Let's use a direct portion rule if in a collision f loses in how many collisions it loses 0.95Eo
#_collisions = 0.95 Eo / f
#_collisions = 0.95 1.67 10⁻¹⁹ / 5.92 10⁻²⁷
#_collisions = 2.7 10⁷ collisions

Explanation:
Given that,
The voltages across them are 40,50 and 60 volts respectively, and the charge on each condenser is 6×10⁻⁸ C.
(a) Capacitance of capacitor 1,
[tex]C_1=\dfrac{Q}{V_1}\\\\C_1=\dfrac{6\times 10^{-8}}{40}\\\\C_1=1.5\times 10^{-9}\ F\\\\C_1=1.5\ nF[/tex]
Capacitance of capacitor 2,
[tex]C_2=\dfrac{Q}{V_2}\\\\C_2=\dfrac{6\times 10^{-8}}{50}\\\\C_2=1.2\times 10^{-9}\ F\\\\C_2=1.2\ nF[/tex]
Capacitance of capacitor 3,
[tex]C_3=\dfrac{Q}{V_3}\\\\C_3=\dfrac{6\times 10^{-8}}{60}\\\\C_3=1\times 10^{-9}\ F\\\\C_3=1\ nF[/tex]
(b) The equivalent capacitance in series combination is :
[tex]\dfrac{1}{C}=\dfrac{1}{C_1}+\dfrac{1}{C_2}+\dfrac{1}{C_3}\\\\\dfrac{1}{C}=\dfrac{1}{1.5}+\dfrac{1}{1.2}+\dfrac{1}{1}\\\\C=0.4\ nF[/tex]
Hence, this is the required solution.
A squirrel jumps into the air with a velocity of 4 m/s at an angel of 50 degrees. What is the maximum height reached by the squirrel?
Answer:
Explanation:
Assuming the squirrel is jumping off the ground, here's what we know but don't really know...
v₀ = 4.0 at 50.0°
So that's not really the velocity we are looking for. We are dealing with a max height problem, which is a y-dimension thing. Therefore, we need the squirrel's upward velocity, which is NOT 4.0 m/s. We find it in the following way:
[tex]v_{0y}=4.0sin(50.0)[/tex] which gives us that the upward velocity is
v₀ = 3.1 m/s
Moving on here's what we also know:
a = -9.8 m/s/s and
v = 0
Remember that at the very top of the parabolic path, the final velocity is 0. In order to find the max height of the squirrel, we need to know how long it took him to get there. We are using 2 of our 3 one-dimensional equations in this problem. To find time:
v = v₀ + at and filling in:
0 = 3.1 - 9.8t and
-3.1 = -9.8t so
t = .32 seconds.
Now that we know how long it took him to get to the max height, we use that in our next one-dimensional equation:
Δx = [tex]v_0t+\frac{1}{2}at^2[/tex] and filling in:
Δx = [tex]3.1(.32)+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8)(.32)^2[/tex] and using the rules for adding and subtracting sig fig's correctly, we can begin to simplify this:
Δx = .99 - .50 so
Δx = .49 meters
do you believe that the universe is expanding?
Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
Many scientists believe that the universe is expanding at an increasing rate. Scientists cannot explain how the universe is expanding at an increasing rate because by law of conservation of energy, there is only a finite amount of energy. Thus, scientists have called this new source of energy dark matter and it is all around the universe helping shape and form the universe.

A projectile is fired horizontally from a gun that is 58.0 m above flat ground, emerging from the gun with a speed of 170 m/s. (a) How long does the projectile remain in the air
Answer:
t = 3.44 s
Explanation:
We are given;
Fired from rest, and so; u = 0 m/s
Final speed; v = 170 m/s
Height above flat ground; y_o = 58 m
Height at starting point; y = 0 m
Thus, from Newton's equation of motion, we have;
y - y_o = ut - ½gt²
(since it's motion is against gravity)
Plugging in the relevant values, we have;
0 - 58 = 0 - (½ × 9.8 × t²)
-58 = -4.9t²
t² = 58/4.9
t = √(58/4.9)
t = 3.44 s
What is the acceleration of a motorcycle that starts from rest and reaches a velocity of 24 m/s in 8.5 seconds?
Answer:
2.82 m/s²
Explanation:
[tex]v = u + at \\ 24 = 0 + a(8.5) \\ a = 2.82 \: ms {}^{ - 2} [/tex]
The acceleration of a motorcycle is 2.82 m/s^2.
What is acceleration?Acceleration is the rate at which speed and direction of velocity vary over time. A point or object going straight ahead is accelerated when it accelerates or decelerates.
Even if the speed is constant, motion on a circle accelerates because the direction is always shifting. Both effects contribute to the acceleration for all other motions.
Given that:
Initial velocity of the motor cycle: u = 0 m/s.
Final velocity of the motorcycle = 24 meter/second.
Time taken to reach this velocity = 8.5 second.
Hence, acceleration of the motor cycle = change in velocity/time interval
= ( final velocity - initial velocity)/time interval
= ( 24 m/s - 0 m/s)/8.5 s
= 2.82 m/s^2.
Its acceleration is 2.82 m/s^2.

Mains electricity is an ac supply. Explain the difference between direct and alternating potential difference.
Direct current (DC) is the flow of electric charge in only one direction. It is the steady state of a constant-voltage circuit. Most well-known applications, however, use a time-varying voltage source. Alternating current (AC) is the flow of electric charge that periodically reverses direction.
#LETS STUDYA car is stationary. It accelerates at 0.8 ms^2
for 10 s and then at 0.4 ms^2
for a further 10 s. Use
the equations of motion to deduce the car’s final displacement. You will have to split the journey
into two parts, since the acceleration changes after 10 s.
Answer:
the car’s final displacement is 60 m
Explanation:
Given;
initail velocity of the car, u = 0
acceleration of the car, a = 0.8 m/s²
time of motion, t = 10 s
The first displacement of the car:
[tex]x_1 = ut + \frac{1}{2} at^2\\\\x_1 = 0 + \frac{1}{2} (0.8)(10)^2\\\\x_1 = 40 \ m[/tex]
The second displacement of the car;
acceleration, a = 0.4 m/s², time of motion, t = 10 s
[tex]x_2 = ut + \frac{1}{2} at^2\\\\x_2 = 0 + \frac{1}{2} (0.4)(10)^2\\\\x_2 = 20 \ m[/tex]
The final displacement of the car;
x = x₁ + x₂
x = 40 m + 20 m
x = 60 m
Therefore, the car’s final displacement is 60 m

Hydraulic Pressure-Control, On-Off Deluge Valve
FP-400Y-5DC
The BERMAD model 400Y-5DC is an elastomeric, hydraulic line pressure operated deluge valve, designed specifically for advanced fire protection systems and the latest industry standards. The 400Y-5DC is activated by a hydraulically operated relay valve, through which opening and closing of the valve can be controlled either with a remote hydraulic command or with a wet pilot line with closed fusible plugs. An integral pressure reducing pilot valve ensures a precise, stable, pre-set downstream water pressure. The optional valve position indicator can include a limit switch suitable for Fire & Gas monitoring systems. The 400Y-5DC is ideal for systems that combine a remote wet pilot line with a high pressure water supply.
An ammeter with a resistance of 5.0 ohm is connected in series with a 3.0V cell and a lamp rated at 300 mA, 3V. Calculate the current that the ammeter will measure.
plz solve this, I'll mark you as brainliest
Answer:
I = 0.2 A
Explanation:
Lamp is rated at 300 mA
I_lamp = 300 mA = 0.3 A
Voltage is; V = 3V
Thus; Resistance is given by;
R = V/I
R = 3/0.3
R = 10 ohms
Now, since the ammeter of 5 ohms is connected in series with the lamp. Thus equivalent resistance;
R_eq = 10 + 5
R_eq = 15 ohms
Ammeter current will be;
I = V/R_eq
I = 3/15
I = 0.2 A

Answer:
The answer is C.
Explanation:
While traveling north on an expressway, a car traveling 60 mph (miles per hour) slows down to 30 mph in 12 minutes due to traffic conditions
Answer:
acceleration = - 150 m/s^2
distance = 9 miles.
Explanation:
initial speed, u = 60 mph
time, t = 12minutes = 0.2 hour
final speed, v = 30 mph
Let the acceleration is a and the distance is s.
By the first equation of motion
v = u + at
30 = 60 + a x 0.2
a = - 150 m/s^2
Let the distance is s.
Use third equation of motion is
[tex]v^2 = u^2 + 2 a s \\\\30^2 = 60^2 + 2 \times 150\times s\\\\s = 9 miles[/tex]
A water wave passes by a floating leaf that is made to oscillate up and down two complete cycles each second, which means that the wave's frequency is
Answer:
2 Hz.
Explanation:
Frequency is simply defined as the number of appearances of a periodic event occurring per time. It is usually measured in cycles/second.
Now, in this question, we are told that there are 2 cycles for each second.
Thus, we can say that the frequency is 2 cycles/1 s = 2 Hz.
An object 2cm high is placed 3cm in front of a concave lens of focal length 2cm, find the magnification?
Answer:
0.4
Explanation:
A concave lens is a diverging lens, so it will always have a negative focal length. Image distance is always negative for a concave lens because it forms virtual images.
From the lens formula;
1/f = 1/u+ 1/v
- 1/2 = 1/3 - 1/v
1/v = 1/3 + 1/2
v= 6/5
v= 1.2 cm
Magnification = image distance/object distance
Magnification = 1.2cm/3cm
Magnification = 0.4
