4. Susan observed that different kinds and amounts of fossils were present in a cliff behind her house. She wondered why changes

in fossil content occurred from the top to the bottom of the bank. She marked the bank at five positions: 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 m from the surface. She removed 1 bucket of soil from each of the positions and determined the kind and number of fossils in each sample.

Answer:

A scientific experiment is divided into two sample groups: control and the experimental. The control group lacks the key variable to be studied while the experimental group contains the sample to be studied.

The experiment contains three experiments: the variable to be studied (dependent variable), the variable which can be changed and influence the dependent variable (independent variable) and the variable which do not change in the experiment (constant variable).

In the given experiment,  

1. Hypothesis: when the height changes in soil, the content of the fossil in the soil also changes.

2. Independent Variable: the height of the bank from surface

3. Dependent Variable: the number and type of fossil.

4. Constant variable: the amount of soil in the bucket

5. Control: the soil at the surface (0 cm)

6. Number of groups: 5 groups

7. Number of trials per group: should be 3

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

Chemical energy is converted to thermal energy and electrical energy.

Explanation:

The sugar present in the apple is broken down into Glucose. This is chemical energy stored in the apple which is broken down into energy which is utilized by body for everyday works. The chemical energy gets converted to thermal energy which warms the body and electrical energy due to which the heart beats.

A solid uniform sphere of mass 1.85 kg and diameter 45.0 cm spins about an axle through its center. Starting with an angular vel
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

The net torque is 0.0372 N m.

Explanation:

A rotational body with constant angular acceleration satisfies the kinematic equation:

\omega^{2}=\omega_{0}^{2}+2\alpha\Delta\theta (1)

with ω the final angular velocity, ωo the initial angular velocity, α the constant angular acceleration and Δθ the angular displacement (the revolutions the sphere does). To find the angular acceleration we solve (1) for α:

\frac{\omega^{2}-\omega_{0}^{2}}{2\Delta\theta}=\alpha

Because the sphere stops the final angular velocity is zero, it's important all quantities in the SI so 2.40 rev/s = 15.1 rad/s and 18.2 rev = 114.3 rad, then:

\alpha=-\frac{-(15.1)^{2}}{2(114.3)}=1.00\frac{rad}{s^{2}}

The negative sign indicates the sphere is slowing down as we expected.

Now with the angular acceleration we can use Newton's second law:

\sum\overrightarrow{\tau}=I\overrightarrow{\alpha} (2)

with ∑τ the net torque and I the moment of inertia of the sphere, for a sphere that rotates about an axle through its center its moment of inertia is:

I = \frac{2MR^{2}}{5}

With M the mass of the sphere an R its radius, then:

I = \frac{2(1.85)(\frac{0.45}{2})^{2}}{5}=0.037 kg*m^2

Then (2) is:

\sum\overrightarrow{\tau}=0.037(-1.00)=0.037 Nm

Richard needs to fly from san diego to halifax, nova scotia and back in order to give an important talk about mathematics. on th
kondor19780726 [428]

When plane is going towards Halifax the speed of wind is in the direction of fly

so overall the net speed of the plane will increase

while when he is on the way back the air is opposite to flight so net speed will decrease

now the total time of the journey is 13 hours

out of this 2 hours he spent in mathematics talk

so total time of the fly is 13 - 2 = 11 hours

now we have formula to find the time to travel to Halinex

t_1 = \frac{d}{v + 50}

time taken to reach back

t_2 = \frac{d}{v - 50}

now we have total time

T = t_1 + t_2

11 = \frac{d}{v - 50} + \frac{d}{v + 50}

here d= 3000 miles

11 = \frac{3000}{v - 50} + \frac{3000}{v + 50}

3.67 * 10^{-3} = \frac{2v}{v^2 - 2500}

v^2 - 2500 = 545.45v

solving above quadratic equation we will have

v = 550 mph

so speed of plane will be 550 mph

An athlete stretches a spring an extra 40.0 cm beyond its initial length. how much energy has he transferred to the spring, if t
marissa [1.9K]
The energy transferred to the spring is given by:
U= \frac{1}{2}kx^2
where 
k is the spring constant
x is the elongation of the spring with respect its initial length

Let's convert the data into the SI units:
k=52.9 N/cm = 5290 N/m
x=40.0 cm=0.4 m

so now we can use these data inside the equation ,to find the energy transferred to the spring:
U= \frac{1}{2}kx^2= \frac{1}{2}(5290 N/m)(0.4m)^2=423.2 J
