There is no theory here.
Myron has offered one hypothesis to explain his observations.
There are other possible hypotheses.
They include:
-- An infected mosquito might have bitten him while he slept,
and the results of the infection might be starting to show up.
-- He might have eaten something for dinner last night
that was slightly spoiled.
-- He might have imbibed too much beer for his own good
at the fraternity party last night.
-- There may be too much Carbon Dioxide in the classroom air.
-- His body may be reacting to the physical stress of running to class.
So far, Myron only has a hypothesis.
He's in no position to come to any "conclusion" until he tests
his hypothesis, and shows that the same results follow the same
conditions MOST of the time. His hypothesis may be difficult to
test, but until he does that, he doesn't have a theory.
My personal opinion is that while his hypothesis may also be correct,
the most likely source of his observation is the recent physical stress
of running to class. It's important to understand that I'm in no position
to try and convince anyone of this conclusion. My opinion is simply
another hypothesis. It carries no weight until it's tested.
Answer:
Explanation:
We can try writing the equation of the horizontal component of the length of the minute hand in terms of distance and the angle, that depends of time in this particular case.
The x-component of the length of the minute hand is:
(1)
- d is the length of the minute hand (d=D/2)
- D is the diameter of the clock
- t is the time (min)
Now, using the angular kinematic equations we can express the angle in term of angular velocity and time. As we know, the minute hand moves with a constant angular velocity, so we can use this equation:
(2)
Also we know, that the minute hand moves 90 degrees or π/2 rad in 15 min, so using the definition of angular velocity, we have:
Now, let's put this value on (2)
Finally the length x(t) of the shadow of the minute hand as a function of time t, will be:
I hope it helps you!
Answer:
When she adds more washers to the meter, the magnitude of force that is shown on the force meter increases.
Explanation:
The force that the washers exert on the force meter is actually the weight of the washers. Weight is actually a force with gravitation acceleration.
F = W = mg
Where g is gravitational acceleration and its value is 9.81 m/s² and m is the mass of any object. As she adds more washers to the meter so the total mass of the washers increases. As the mass of the washers increases, magnitude of the force (Weight) shown on the force meter increases.
Answer:
a) When its length is 23 cm, the elastic potential energy of the spring is
0.18 J
b) When the stretched length doubles, the potential energy increases by a factor of four to 0.72 J
Explanation:
Hi there!
a) The elastic potential energy (EPE) is calculated using the following equation:
EPE = 1/2 · k · x²
Where:
k = spring constant.
x = stretched lenght.
Let´s calculate the elastic potential energy of the spring when it is stretched 3 cm (0.03 m).
First, let´s convert the spring constant units into N/m:
4 N/cm · 100 cm/m = 400 N/m
EPE = 1/2 · 400 N/m · (0.03 m)²
EPE = 0.18 J
When its length is 23 cm, the elastic potential energy of the spring is 0.18 J
b) Now let´s calculate the elastic potential energy when the spring is stretched 0.06 m:
EPE = 1/2 · 400 N/m · (0.06 m)²
EPE = 0.72 J
When the stretched length doubles, the potential energy increases by a factor of four to 0.72 J
Assumption both thunder and misty are pulling in same direction,
Net force= 1000N+800N-75N=1725N
Mass of wagon = 1725N/1.3ms^-2 = 1327kg
