Answer:

The way that scientists use the word 'theory' is a little different than how it is commonly used in the lay public," said Jaime Tanner, a professor of biology at Marlboro College. "Most people use the word 'theory' to mean an idea or hunch that someone has, but in science the word 'theory' refers to the way that we interpret facts.

Tech A says that when checking a voltage drop across an open switch, a measurement of 12 volts is normal. Tech B says that when checking voltage drop across an open switch, a measurement of 12 volts means there are 12 volts on each side of the switch. Who is correct

Answers

Answer:

Tech B is correct.

Explanation:

The voltage drop between the two terminals of a circuit is the measurement of the potential difference between the two terminals.

If [tex]v_1[/tex] and [tex]v_2[/tex] ( assuming [tex]v_1 > v_2[/tex]) are potentials at terminal 1 and terminal 2 of the given open circuit.

According to A, the measurement of the potential drop is 12 volts, i.e

The measurement of potential difference [tex]=v_1 -v_2[/tex]

= 12 volts which is correct.

But according to B, a measurement of 12 volts means there are 12 volts on each side of the switch ([tex]v_1= 12[/tex] volts and [tex]v_2=12[/tex] volts), i.e

According to the claim of B, the potential difference (or drop) across the terminals is

[tex]v_1-v_2= 12-12=0[/tex] but the measured potential drop is 12 volts, so B is wrong.

Hence, Tech B is correct.

to avoid an accident, a driver with a mass of 60kg applies his brakes and decelrates from 30m/s to 1m/s in 2 seconds. how much force was absorbed by his seat belt​

Answers

Answer:

[tex]F=-870\ N[/tex]

Explanation:

Net Force

The net force applied to an object of mass m that moves at an acceleration a is given by:

F=m.a

The acceleration can be calculated by the equations of the constant acceleration motion:

[tex]\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}[/tex]

Where vf is the final speed, vo is the initial speed, and t is the time.

Substituting the given values:

[tex]\displaystyle a=\frac{1-30}{2}=\frac{-29}{2}=-14.5\ m/s^2[/tex]

The force absorbed by his seat belt:

[tex]F=60\ kg\cdot (-14.5\ m/s^2)[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{F=-870\ N}[/tex]

Force absorbed by the seatbelt is : 870 N

Given data :

mass of body = 60 kg

Initial velocity ( V₁ ) = 30 m/s

Final velocity ( V₂ ) = 1 m/s

Time = 2 secs

 

Determine the force absorbed by the seat belt

Force = Mass * acceleration  --- ( 1 )

where ;

acceleration = Δ v / t  ---- ( 2 )

Δ v = ( 30 - 1 ) = 29 m/s

t = 2 secs

Back to equation ( 2 )

acceleration = 29 / 2 = 14.5 m/s²

Force exerted on seatbelt

F = m * a

  = 60 kg * 14.5 m/s²  =  870 N

Hence we can conclude that the force absorbed by his seatbelt is 870 N

otd-2)A softball is thrown straight up into the air at 25 m/s. if it returns to the thrower after 5.0 seconds, how high did it go?

Answers

One way:

The ball returned to the thrower's hand after 5 seconds.  It spent 2.5 seconds going up, and 2.5 seconds coming back down.

Use the formula Distance = (1/2) (acceleration) (time squared)

Distance = (1/2) (gravity) (2.5 sec)

Distance = (1/2) (9.8 m/s ²) (6.25 sec² )

Distance = (4.9 m/s²) (6.25 sec²)

Distance = 30.63 meters

Another way:

The thrower threw the ball straight up at 25 m/s.

It sailed upward for 2.5 seconds.

At the top of its trip, before it started falling, its speed was zero.

Its average speed was (1/2) (25+0) = 12.5 m/s

At an average speed of 12.5 m/s for 2.5s, the ball rose (12.5x2.5) = 31.25m.

(Why are the two answers different ?

Because if the ball was thrown straight up at 25 m/s, it would actually return to the thrower in 5.1 seconds, not 5.0 seconds.

So if you use the acceleration of gravity to solve the problem, you get one answer, but if you use 5.0sec to solve it, you get a slightly different one.)

Explanation:

Encoding is the initial learning of information. Encoding is the process of passing new information coming from sensory input  into our brain so that it can be easily retrievable. In a nutshell, it is the sum total of the processes by which external information such as the list of items your mother asked you to pick up at the grocery store to be converted into a manner that can be stored within the brain and recalled later from long-term memory.

Encoding has to do with transferring external stimuli into short term and subsequently long-term memory.

how do you find circular motion?​

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

By multiplying the rotational frequency with the circumference we can determine the average speed of the object. The circular velocity formula is expressed as, vc = 2 πr / T. Where in, r denotes the radius of the circular orbit. T is time period.

Answer:

2πr

as we know that the circumference of a circle is 2 * π * r, the arc length of the whole circle is 2πr units. Then using the formula s = r * theta, the angle theta equals the arc length divided by the radius. Therefore theta = 2πr/r = 2π radians.

 [tex] t_a  =  13.49 \  s   [/tex]

2

 The distance is   [tex] D = 55.2 \  m  [/tex]    

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The maximum speed of the cheetah is  [tex]v =  103 \  km/h =  28.61 \  m/s[/tex]

    The maximum of  gazelle is  [tex]u =  76.5 \  km/h =  21.25 \  m/s[/tex]

     The distance ahead is [tex]d =  99.3 \  m[/tex]

Let  [tex]t_a[/tex] denote the time which the cheetah catches the gazelle

Gnerally the equation representing the distance the cheetah needs to move in order to catch the gazelle is

           [tex] v* t_a = d +  u* t_a [/tex]

=>          [tex] 28.61 t_a = 99.3 +  21.25t_a [/tex]

=>          [tex] 7.36 t_a = 99.3  [/tex]

=>         [tex] t_a  =  13.49 \  s   [/tex]

Now at t =  7.5 s  

             [tex]7.5 v = D+  7.5u [/tex]

=>          [tex] 28.61 * 7.5  = D +  21.25* 7.5  [/tex]

=>          [tex] 7.36 *  7.5 =D  [/tex]

=>         [tex] D = 55.2 \  m  [/tex]        

Hence the for the gazelle to escape the cheetah it must be 55.2 m

The electron affinity of thulium has been measured by a technique known as laser photodetachment electron spectroscopy. In this technique, a gaseous beam of the anions of an element is bombarded with photons from a laser. Electrons from the anion are then ejected and their energies are detected. The incident radiation had a wavelength of 1064 nm, and the ejected electrons were found to have an energy of 0.137 eV. The electron affinity is the difference in energy between the incident photons and the energy of the ejected electrons. Determine the electron affinity of thulium in units of electron volts per atom.

Answers

Answer:

ΔE = 1.031 eV

Explanation:

For this exercise let's calculate the energy of the photons using Planck's equation

          E = h f

wavelength and frequency are related

         c = λ f

         f = c /λ

let's substitute

         E = h c /λ

let's calculate

         E = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3 10⁸/1064 10⁻⁹

         E = 1.869 10⁻¹⁹ J

let's reduce to eV

         E = 1.869 10⁻¹⁹ J (1 eV / 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J)

        E = 1.168 eV

therefore the electron affinity is

         ΔE = E - 0.137

         ΔE = 1.168 - 0.137

         ΔE = 1.031 eV

The electron affinity of thulium in units of electron volts per atom is; ΔE ≈ 1.031 eV

From Planck's equation, we can find the energy of the photons when given wavelength as;

E = hc/λ

Where;

h is Planck's constant = 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ J.s

c is speed of light = 3 × 10⁸ m/s

λ is wavelength

We are given;

wavelength; λ = 1064 nm = 1064 × 10⁻⁹ m

Thus;

E = (6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ × 3 × 10⁸)/(1064 × 10⁻⁹)

E2 = 1.868 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

Converting to eV gives;

E2 = (1.868 × 10⁻¹⁹)/(1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹)

E2 = 1.1675 eV

We are given E1 = 0.137 eV.

Now, electron affinity is simply change in energy. Thus;

ΔE = 1.1675 - 0.137

ΔE ≈ 1.031 eV

8.98 dm3 of hydrogen gas
is collected at 38.8 °C. Find
the volume the gas will occupy
at -39.9 °C if the pressure
remains constant.

Answers

Answer:

6.71dm³

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial Volume of hydrogen gas  = 8.98dm³

Initial Temperature  = 38.8°C; in Kelvin  = 38.8 + 273  = 311.8K

Final temperature = -39.9°C; in Kelvin  = -39.9 + 273  = 233.1K

Unknown:

Final volume = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we apply the Charles's law. It states at;

   "The volume of a fixed mass (mole) of a gas varies directly as its absolute temperature if the pressure is constant".

  Mathematically;

          [tex]\frac{V_{1} }{T_{1} }[/tex]   =      [tex]\frac{V_{2} }{T_{2} }[/tex]

V and T are temperature values

1 and 2 are the initial and final states

 Insert the parameters and solve for V₂

      [tex]\frac{8.98}{311.8 }[/tex]   = [tex]\frac{V_{2} }{233.1}[/tex]

         V₂ x 311.8 = 8.98 x 233.1

          V₂  = 6.71dm³

     

An object is moving with an initial velocity of 5.5 m/s. It is then subject to an acceleration of 2.5 m/s² for 11 s. How far will it have traveled during the time of its acceleration? OML HELP

Answers

Answer: 211.75m

Explanation:

Listing everything the question gives you:

Vi = 5.5

a = 2.5

t = 11

ΔX = ?

Then pick a kinematic equation to solve for the missing variable

I used this one: Δx = Vit + [tex]\frac{1}{2} at^2[/tex]

When you plug in all ur variables you get Δx = 211.75m

The object has travelled a distance of 211.75 meters.

We have an object moving with an initial velocity of 5.5 m/s.

We have to determine how far will it have traveled during the time of its acceleration.

What is Acceleration ?

The rate of change of velocity with respect to time is called Acceleration.

a = dv/dt

According to the question -

initial velocity = u = 5.5 m/s

acceleration = a = 2.5 m/s²

time = t = 11 seconds

Therefore -

S = ut + [tex]\frac{1}{2} at^{2}[/tex]

S = 5.5 x 11 + 0.5 x 2.5 x 11 x 11

S = 211.75 meters

Therefore, the object has travelled a distance of 211.75 meters.
