Explain why scientists find the particulate matter of theory useful

1 answer:

6 0

This idea has historical significance. The ancient Greek philosopher Democritus (born 460 BCE), who held that everything is composed of small particles moving in empty space, is credited with developing the first hypothesis we have about the microscopic universe. He had some concrete proof for this, such the fact that items like a new loaf of bread or a rose may give off a scent even when they are far from the source. Being a materialist, he thought that these odors originated from actual material particles released by the bread or the rose, rather than being purely a type of magic. He reasoned that these particles must float through the air, with some of them maybe landing in your nose where you can smell them immediately. This still makes sense in modern times. But many of us now have quite different perspectives on these "particles."

Thank you,

For scientific notation, when i move the decimal to the left the the exponent get bigger or smaller?

xeze [42]

I'm not sure what you mean. Besides, I feel like you're talking math.
But anyways, if you have 120 let's say
The scientific notation is 1.20 × 10^2
if you have 125000
the scientific notation is 1.25 × 10^ 5
The number of times you go left the decimal, I guess exponent increases
So yea

How is clay deposited to form shale?

koban [17]

Answer:Shale is a fine-grained sedimentary rock that forms from the compaction of silt and clay-size mineral particles that we commonly call "mud." This composition places shale in a category of sedimentary rocks known as "mudstones." ... "Fissile" means that the rock readily splits into thin pieces along the laminations.

Which graph shows the relationship between the temperature and volume of agas according to Charles's law?Volume vs. Temperature

solmaris [256]

Graph D.

Charles's law states that at the same pressure, the Volumen of a gas is proportional to its temperature (absolute temperature).

This is

V = K T, where K is the constant of proportionallity.

You can also write it in the form

V1 / V2 = T1/ Ts

When Temperature rise Volumen rise in a proportional way. If Temperature doubles Volumen doubles, if Tempearature is decreases to on third, Volume will decrease to one third.

$d=\frac{m}{V}\\\\
V=\pi r^{2}H\\$ $d=\frac{m}{\pi r^{2}H} \ \ \ |*\pi r^{2}H\\\\
d \pi r^{2}H=m \ \ \ |:d \pi H\\\\
r^{2}=\frac{m}{d \pi H}\\\\
r=\sqrt{\frac{m}{d \pi H}}\\\\
2r=d\\\\
d=2\sqrt{\frac{m}{d \pi H}}$

$H=43cm\\
d=2.33\frac{g}{cm^{3}}\\
m=3kg=3000g\\\\
d=2\sqrt{\frac{m}{d \pi H}}=2*\sqrt{\frac{3000g}{2.33\frac{g}{cm^{3}} * \pi * 43cm}}=2*\sqrt{\frac{3000}{100,19\pi \frac{1}{cm^{2}}}}\approx6,17cm$
