Their relative speed is the sum of 60 and 40 or 100km/hr. They will travel the 150km in 1.5 hrs. When two object approach each other, the closing speed is just the sum of the speeds, therefore, the closing speed is your case is 100kph. So they will meet in 1.5 hours.
Yes, scientific method can be applied on many everyday activities to get a reasonable solution. Infact normally we are applying this method without having it in our knowledge that we are applying it.
For example: In morning we are going to office and we start the car, but it is not started.You turn the engine again and again but it simply donot works.
Observation (the state of defining a problem):
The car is not started
Hypothesis (A possible solution based on the information we already know):
The car is not started because it might be out of gas or there can be some other technical fault.
Experiment (testing of hypothesis by applying different methods of solving problem):
You get the fuel and put it inside the car but it still donot works and car didnot start. Experiment didnot get solution.
Analyze the results of data and test another hypothesis
You call a technician and he check with the car engine tries and finds out that the engine was out of order and needs repairing.
Draw conclusion:
The engine do not works when it is out of order and it is a cause of a car not being started.
<em>Now the theory and law making part can not be applied on this case but it is a part of scientific method.</em>
Hope it helps!
The resistance expected of the heater is 50.1 ohms.
<h3>What is resistance?</h3>
Resistance can be defined as the opposition to the flow of electric current in an electric circuit. The S.I unit of resistance is Ohms (Ω).
To calculate the resistance of the heater, we use the formula below.
<h3>Formula:</h3>
- R = V²/P............. Equation 1
Where:
- R = Resistance of the heater
- P = Power of the heater
- V = Voltage supplied to the heater
From the question,
Given:
- V = 480 V
- P = 4.6 kW = 4600 W
Substitute these values into equation 1
- R = (480²)/4600
- R = 50.1 ohms.
Hence, the resistance expected of the heater is 50.1 ohms.
