Electric energy is carried by current, which is the flow of electrons, which are the negatively charged sub-particles of atoms. This transfer of electrons from one place to another powers our lights, phones, appliances and many other things we use every day. Another interesting phenomenon of flowing current is that it produces its own magnetic field. Electricity and magnetism are very closely linked in that all closed loop currents create their own magnetic fields, and magnetic fields acting upon closed loop circuits can produce current or even change current diction.
Answer:
Similarities:
- Both are based on observation.
- Both are supported by empirical data
- Both are tested repeatedly
- Both are accepted by science
- Both are based on natural phenomena
Differences:
- Scientific law just describes a phenomenon. It does not give an explanation as to why the phenomenon occurs. It predicts an outcome of an event based on its initial condition.
- Scientific theory gives an explanation as to why an event had occurred.
- Laws are more resistant to change.
- Theories can be refuted and accepted, and develop other theories as well
Take note:
A scientific theory cannot be "upgraded" into a law, and a scientific law cannot be changed into a theory.
Answer:
s = 3 m
Explanation:
Let t be the time the accelerating car starts.
Let's assume the vehicles are point masses so that "passing" takes no time.
the position of the constant velocity and accelerating vehicles are
s = vt = 40(t + 2) cm
s = ½at² = ½(20)(t)² cm
they pass when their distance is the same
½(20)(t)² = 40(t + 2)
10t² = 40t + 80
0 = 10t² - 40t - 80
0 = t² - 4t - 8
t = (4±√(4² - 4(1)(-8))) / 2(1)
t = (4± 6.928) / 2 ignore the negative time as it has not occurred yet.
t = 5.464 s
s = 40(5.464 + 2) = 298.564 cm
300 cm when rounded to the single significant digit of the question numerals.
The answer is b) venus because the period rotation is also referred to as a day so if venus’ period of rotation is 243 [earth] days and its year is 225 [earth] days, then the period of rotation is longer.
