Answer 1
Answer:
Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

(Note:  That's all the Physics there is to this problem.
The rest is all arithmetic.)
=======================================

change in speed = (40 - 20) miles/hour = -20 miles/hour
time for the change = 10 minutes

Acceleration =  (-20 miles/hour) / (10 minutes) =

                          -2 miles/hour per minute .

That's a perfectly good and technically correct expression for acceleration.
But obviously the units might make some people dizzy.  So let's try to
clean it up a little.

Notice that 10 minutes is 1/6 of an hour.
So we could write the acceleration as

Acceleration = (-20 miles/hour) / (1/6 hour) = -120 miles/hour per hour =

                         -120 miles/hour² .

You could convert this into any units you like.  It's really not a physics problem
any more, it's just an exercise in converting units.


Answer 2
Answer: First segment: The airplane is descending slowly, with time and distance at a 3:1 ratio. It is probably approaching the airport

Second segment: The airplane is maintaining its altitude. It is probably waiting for the other planes to clear away

Third segment:The airplane descending rapidly, with time and distance at a 1:2 ratio. It is probably landing

Sorry, my bad.
To find acceleration, we use v2-v1 /t
40mph - 20mph / 10 min
20mph/10min
We can convert this to 20/6 miles per 10 minutes, and cancel out the 10 min to 20/6 miles, which is 10/3 miles

Alex works at a legal firm which produces a lot of documents. Often Alex has to carry heavy stacks of documents from one office to another. On this particular day Alex, who weighs 75 kilograms, has to transport a stacks of documents which weighs 10 kilograms. He has to lift them 5 meters from the floor and then carry them to an office 100 meters down the hall, where he will drop them on the floor. Alex walks swiftly at a steady rate of 1 meter per second. What two pieces of information given in the above description will help you compute the amount of work Alex does when he lifts the papers?

Answers

You would need the weight of the paper and how high off the ground Alex is going to be lifting them.

All you need in order to calculate the work done is the force exerted vertically ("lifting") and the vertical distance through which the force is exerted ("height").
Then  Work = (force) times (distance).

Sadly, if you try to apply this simple definition of 'work' to the data you've given
for the situation, your attempt will fail ignominiously.  You will say that Alex
has exerted a force of 10 kilograms to lift the documents 5 meters, and has
therefore done (10 x 5) = 50 somethings of work, which is wrong.

It's wrong because 'kilogram' is a unit of mass, not one of force.
Nothing 'weighs' 10 kilograms.

But my first paragraph is the direct answer to your question.  The mass
of the stack of documents, and the height to which the stack is lifted, will
help you compute the amount of work Alex does

You are investigating whether the thickness of a sponge is affected by the amount of mass placed on top of it. What is the dependent variable in this investigation?

Answers

Answer:

The thickness of sponge is the dependent variable in this investigation

Explanation:

This is because in the investigation, the amount of mass is the property to be varied while the thickness of the sponge is the property to be checked.

The thickness of the sponge is dependent on the amount of mass placed on it, so the thickness of the sponge depends on the mass.

Thus, the thickness of the sponge is the dependent variable in this instance while the amount of mass is the independent variable in this investigation.

Final answer:

In this scientific investigation about the relationship between the thickness of a sponge and the mass placed upon it, the 'dependent variable' is the sponge's thickness, and the 'independent variable' is the mass applied. The hypothesis may be that there's an exponential relationship between the mass and the sponge's thickness.

Explanation:

In the given scientific investigation, the dependent variable is the thickness of the sponge. This is because the thickness is the aspect of the experiment that changes (or is measured) based on the manipulation of another variable, which in this case is the amount of mass placed on top of the sponge, known as the independent variable. The investigator has control over the independent variable and observes whether changes to it cause a reaction or change in the dependent variable. In other words, the thickness of the sponge 'depends' upon the mass placed on it during the experiment. A possible hypothesis for this experiment may be that the thickness of the sponge decreases (get thinner) as more mass is placed upon it, suggesting an exponential relationship between the mass and the sponge's thickness.

What is uniform acceleration

Answers

Answer:

It means zero acceleration.

Explanation:

When a body moves with constant velocity then it is said to be there is no rate of change of velocity takes place because it is constant. So the acceleration becomes zero or uniform acceleration.

A typical oil control ring consists of _______ separate part(s). A. three
B. four
C. two
D. one

Answers

A. three

Oil spill can be very harmful to marine life because  the chemical make up of oils can be poisonous to marine life. The oil can also affect the natural body temperature of marine animals especially to the small fish. Sea otters and sea birds are the most commonly affected by oil spills and those other marine animals that can be found in the shoreline. Heavy oils like the bunker oils used to fuel ships are the most harmful oil because when this oil stick to birds feathers, they may have an inability to warm themselves that could lead them to die.

Answer:

Three

Explanation:

Oil control rings are designed differently than compression rings. A typical oil control ring consists of three separate pieces: two very thin metal rings called scrapers, and a spacer ring called an expander placed in the groove between them.
