Two students are working together on an experiment that measures the effect of different liquid fertilizers on the thickness of

plants’ stems. Which is most likely to result in the greatest amount of error in their scientific experiment?
One student measures the plant stem widths by using calipers. The other student measures the widths of the same plant stems again by using a different pair of calipers.

One student measures the plant stem widths by using calipers. The other student types the measurements as they are taken into a computer spreadsheet.

One student measures liquids for the experiment by holding the flask up at eye level. The other student measures liquids for the experiment while the flask sits on the table.

One student weighs liquids for the experiment by using a calibrated scale. The other student weighs liquids for the experiment by using a different calibrated scale.

I would say the greatest amount of error is introduced by eyeballing the flask at two different levels. You're supposed to measure liquids at eye level. The angle viewing downward could be off by a good amount

Karen is running forward at a speed of 9 m/s. She tosses her sweaty headband backward at a speed of 20 m/s. The speed of the hea
Komok [63]
Let Karen's forward speed be considered as positive.
Therefore, before the headband is tossed backward, the speed of the headband is
V = 9 m/s

The headband is tossed backward relative to Karen at a speed of 20 m/s. Therefore the speed of the headband relative to Karen is
U = -20 m/s

The absolute speed of the headband, relative to a stationary observer is
V - U
= 9 + (-20)
= - 11 m/s

Answer:
The stationary observes the headband traveling (in the opposite direction to Karen) at a speed of 11 m/s backward.

If a 3-kg rabbit's leg muscles act as imperfectly elastic springs, how much energy will they hold if the rabbit lands from a hei
DiKsa [7]

Answer;

- 15 J

Explanation;

-Potential energy is defined as mechanical energy, stored energy, or energy caused by its position.

-For the gravitational force the formula is P.E. = mgh, where m is the mass in kilograms, g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m /s² at the surface of the earth) and h is the height in meters.

Potential energy of the rabbit at the peak of its height is

PE = (3)(10)(0.5) = 15 J

(around 14.7 but because energy is lost, it is less than that)

Consider the following spectrum where two colorful lines (A and B) are positioned on a dark background. The violet end of the sp
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

This type of spectrum is called line emission spectrum . Because it consists of lines . It is emission spectrum because it is due to emission of radiation from a source .

b ) The wavelength of a photon  is inversely proportional to its energy .  Photon  due to transition between n = 1 and n = 3 will have higher energy than

that due to transition between n = 2 and n = 5 . So the later photon ( B)  will have greater wavelength or photon  due to transition between n = 2 and n = 5 will have greater wavelength .

what is the acceleration of a bowling ball that starts at rest and moves 300m down the gutter in 22.4 sec
exis [7]
<span>Acceleration is the change in velocity divided by time taken. It has both magnitude and direction. In this problem, the change in velocity would first have to be calculated. Velocity is distance divided by time. Therefore, the velocity here would be 300 m divided by 22.4 seconds. This gives a velocity of 13.3928 m/s. Since acceleration is velocity divided by time, it would be 13.3928 divided by 22.4, giving a final solution of 0.598 m/s^2.</span>

A particle in the first excited state of a one-dimensional infinite potential energy well (with U = 0 inside the well) has an en
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

The energy of this particle in the ground state is E₁=1.5 eV.

Explanation:

The energy E_{n} of a particle of mass <em>m</em> in the <em>n</em>th energy state of an infinite square well potential with width <em>L </em>is:

                                                    E_{n}=\frac{n^{2}h^{2}}{8mL^{2}}

In the ground state (n=1). In the first excited state (n=2) we are told the energy is E₂= 6.0 eV. If we replace in the above equation we get that:

                                                    E_{1}=\frac{h^{2}}{8mL^{2}}            

                                                    E_{2}=\frac{h^{2}}{2mL^{2}}

So we can rewrite the energy in the ground state as:

                                                   E_{1}=\frac{1}{4}(\frac{h^{2}}{2mL^{2}})

                                                      E_{1}=\frac{1}{4} E_{2}

                                                   E_{1}=\frac{1}{4} ( 6.0\ eV)

Finally

                                                    E_{1}=1.5\ eV
