Scientists have developed a new type of solar cell with an efficiency of over 40 %.
The efficiency of the solar cell was confirmed independently by other scientists.
Suggest why it was important to confirm the efficiency independently.
Answer:
According to Carl Sagan's Baloney Detection Kit notes
"Whenever possible there must be independent confirmation of the facts"
Independent confirmation by other scientist is to ensure that the observation of the over 40% efficient solar panel is repeatable
It is also important to avoid accepting the given mandates at face value and accepting that the scientist considered all factors when taking the results or that the original developers has assigned others to check their findings before the introduction of the new type of solar cell

A college dorm room measures 14 ft wide by 13 ft long by 6 ft high. What is the air in it under normal conditions?
Complete question:
A college dormitory room measures 14 ft wide by 13 ft long by 6 ft high. Weight density of air is 0.07 lbs/ft3. What is the weight of air in it under normal conditions?
Answer:
the weight of the air is 76.44 lbs
Explanation:
Given;
dimension of the dormitory, = 14 ft by 13 ft by 6 ft
density of the air, = 0.07 lbs/ft³
The volume of the air in the dormitory room = 14 ft x 13 ft x 6 ft
= 1092 ft³
The weight of the air = density x volume
= 0.07 lbs/ft³ x 1092 ft³
= 76.44 lbs
Therefore, the weight of the air is 76.44 lbs

A square wooden raft floats on a lake. The density of the water in the lake is 1000 kg/m². The sides of the raft are 2.0m long and the thickness of the raft is 0.20 m. The mass of the raft is 700 kg. How many barrels, each of mass 100 kg, could be placed on the raft before its surface sinks to the surface of the water?
Answer:
1
Explanation:
V=2*2*0.2=0.8m^3
d=m/v 1000*0.8=800kg
800=700+100(n) (n for barrels)
n=1
This question deals with the concept of buoyancy. This can be solved by calculating the buoyant force.
"1" barrels, each of mass 100 kg, could be placed on the raft before it sinks to the surface water.
First, we need to calculate the buoyant force on the raft due to water. This force is equal to the weight of the volume of water equal to the volume of the raft.
Buoyant Force = (Volume of Raft)(Density of Water)(g)
Buoyant Force = [(2 m)(2 m)(0.2 m)][1000 kg/m³](9.81 m/s²)
Buoyant Force = (0.8 m³)(1000 kg/m³)(9.81 m/s²)
Buoyant Force = 7848 N
For the raft to sink the weight of the raft combined with the weight of barrels must exceed the buoyant force. Now, we will calculate the weight of raft and barrels and equate it with the buoyant force.
[Mass of Raft + (No. of Barrels)(Mass of 1 Barrel)][g] = Buoyant Force
[700 kg + (No. of Barrels)(100 kg)][9.81 m/s²] = 7848 N
(No. of Barrels)(981 N) = 7848 N - 6867 N
[tex]No. of Barrels = \frac{981\ N}{981\ N}[/tex]
No. of Barrels = 1
The attached picture shows the concept of buoyancy.

Answer:
(D) 4
Explanation:
The percentage error in each of the contributors to the calculation is 1%. The maximum error in the calculation is approximately the sum of the errors of each contributor, multiplied by the number of times it is a factor in the calculation.
density = mass/volume
density = mass/(π(radius^2)(length))
So, mass and length are each a factor once, and radius is a factor twice. Then the total percentage error is approximately 1% +1% +2×1% = 4%.
_____
If you look at the maximum and minimum density, you find they are ...
{0.0611718, 0.0662668} g/(mm²·cm)
The ratio of the maximum value to the mean of these values is about 1.03998. So, the maximum is 3.998% higher than the "nominal" density.
The error is about 4%.
_____
Additional comment
If you work through the details of the math, you will see that the above-described sum of error percentages is just an approximation. If you need a more exact error estimate, it is best to work with the ranges of the numbers involved, and/or their distributions.
Using numbers with uniformly distributed errors will give different results than with normally distributed errors. When such distributions are involved, you need to carefully define what you mean by a maximum error. (By definition, normal distributions extend to infinity in both directions.) While the central limit theorem tends to apply, the actual shape of the error distribution may not be precisely normal.

This is physics, not math. In the physical sciences, most numbers must be considered to be measurements. (A few are definitions.) Hence, the rules of significant figures and precision apply to the results of arithmetic operations. This problem is a good illustration of what happens when computing small differences of large numbers. We start with 3 significant figures in 0.205, and end up with 1 significant figure in 0.004.
a car starts from rest & acquire a velocity of 54km/h in 2 sec. Find-
a) the acceleration
b) distance traveled by car assume motion of car is uniform
c) if the mass of the car is 1000kg. what is the force acting on it?
Pls help me. I'm bad in this subject. kinda need it by today
Answer:
a. Acceleration, a = 7.5 m/s
b. Distance, S = 15 meters
c. Force = 7500 Newton
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Mass = 1000 kg
Initial velocity = 0 m/s (since it's starting from rest).
Final velocity = 54 km/h
Time = 2 secs
Conversion:
54 km/h to m/s = 54*1000/3600 = 15 m/s
a. To find the following acceleration;
Mathematically, acceleration is given by the equation;
[tex]Acceleration (a) = \frac{initial speed - final speed}{time}[/tex]
Substituting into the formula, we have;
[tex] Acceleration = \frac{15 - 0}{2}[/tex]
[tex] Acceleration = \frac{15}{2}[/tex]
Acceleration, a = 7.5 m/s
b. To find the distance, we would use the second equation of motion.
[tex] S = ut + \frac {1}{2}at^{2}[/tex]
Where;
S represents the displacement or height measured in meters. u represents the initial velocity measured in meters per seconds. t represents the time measured in seconds. a represents acceleration measured in meters per seconds square.Substituting into the equation, we have;
[tex] S = 0*2 + \frac {1}{2}*(7.5)*2^{2}[/tex]
[tex] S = 0 + 3.75*4[/tex]
[tex] S = 15 [/tex]
Distance, S = 15 meters
c. To find the force, we would use the following formula;
[tex] Force = mass * acceleration [/tex]
[tex] Force = 1000 * 7.5 [/tex]
Force = 7500 Newton
Behaviors in deer such as herding and male deer using antlers to compete for females increase the chances of successful reproduction.
True or False
Answer:
True
Explanation:
The reproductive success of any species is the capability to produce their offspring per breeding lifetime or event.
Most of the species have to attract their partners by their physical capability and build up so that the mother can choose her partner in order to breed the best kind of off spring.
In the context, in case of deer, the size of the their antlers as well as behavior in herding is considered as the best chances for a successful reproduction to compete among the males and find their breeding mate.
Thus the answer is TRUE.

Warda is driving her car down the street. She has a teddy bear sitting on the back seat. A dog runs in front of Warda's car, so she quickly applies the brakes. The force of the brakes causes the car to stop, but the teddy bear continues to move forward until it hits the car's dashboard.
The teddy bear did not stop at the same time as the car because
Answer:
The teddy bear did not stop at the same time as the car because of inertia.
Explanation:
The teddy bear did not stop at the same time as the car because of inertia.
Inertia is a resistance of an object to change its state of motion so if an object is moving it will continue the movement until a force act on it, and vice-versa if an object is at rest it will continue in that state until a force act on it.
Hence, when the teddy bear was in the back seat and the car suddenly stops, the teddy kept moving forward because that was the direction of motion of the car (the teddy bear was moving forward with the car). The force of the brakes acts on the car but not on the teddy bear (not directly), that is why this force does not change the state of motion of the teddy bear.
Therefore, the teddy bear did not stop at the same time as the car because of inertia.
