3. After studying about recycling, members of John’s biology class investigated the effects of various recycled products on plan

t growth. John’s lab group compared the effect of different aged grass compost on bean plants. Because decomposition is necessary for the release of nutrients, the group hypothesized that older grass compost would produce taller bean plants. Three flats of bean plants (25 per flat) were grown for 5 days. The plants were then fertilized as follows: flat A = 450. g of 3 month old compost; flat B = 450. g of 6 month old compost; flat C = 0 g of compost. The plants received the same amount of sunlight and water each day. At the end of 30 days, the group recorded the height of the plants in cm.

<span>The hypothesis may be,
"If the compost is older, then the height of the bean plants will be taller."
Because it relates the independent and dependent variables

The independent variable is the age of compost
Because it is the variable being changed
 
The dependent variable is the plant height of the bean plant 
Because it is the variable on which the effect of the independent variable is being investigated

The constant are the sunlight and water provided.
Because they are the same for each group

Flat C is the control group
Because it is given no compost

There are 3 groups and each group has 25 trials.</span>

Sally finds herself stranded on a frozen pond so slippery that she can't stand up or walk on it. To save herself, she throws one
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

a) 2.5 m/s. (In the opposite direction to the direction in which she threw the boot).

b) The centre of mass is still at the starting point for both bodies.

c) It'll take Sally 12 s to reach the shore which is 30 m from her starting point.

Explanation:

Linear momentum is conserved.

(mass of boot) × (velocity of boot) + (mass of sally) × (velocity of Sally) = 0

5×30 + 60 × v = 0

v = (-150/60) = -2.5 m/s. (Minus inicates that motion is in the opposite direction to the direction in which she threw the boot).

b) At time t = 10 s,

Sally has travelled 25 m and the boot has travelled 300 m.

Taking the starting point for both bodies as the origin, and Sally's direction as the positive direction.

Centre of mass = [(60)(25) + (5)(-300)]/(60+5)

= 0 m.

The centre of mass is still at the starting point for both bodies.

c) The shore is 30 m away.

Speed = (Distance)/(time)

Time = (Distance)/(speed) = (30/2.5)

Time = 12 s

Hope this Helps!!!

Two objects, each of weight W, hang vertically by spring scales as shown in the figure. The pulleys and the strings attached to
valentinak56 [21]

The reading on the scale is the tension on the string that connects the two objecst. In order to support the blocks it must pull the weights by a force magnitude of W. So, the tension of the rope is W. Therefore, the reading on the scale is W, D.

Stells [14]
The correct answer is <span>3) K_f =  \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2 + mgh.
</span>
In fact, the total energy of the rock when it <span>leaves the thrower's hand is the sum of the gravitational potential energy U and of the initial kinetic energy K:
</span>E=U_i+K_i=mgh +  \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2
<span>As the rock falls down, its height h from the ground decreases, eventually reaching zero just before hitting the ground. This means that U, the potential energy just before hitting the ground, is zero, and the total final energy is just kinetic energy: 
</span>E=K_f<span>
But for the law of conservation of energy, the total final energy must be equal to the tinitial energy, so E is always the same. Therefore, the final kinetic energy must be
</span>K_f = mgh +  \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2<span>
</span>
