Gravity is a theory because it is an encompassing explanation of a natural phenomenon that is well accepted.

<em>option </em><em>E</em><em> is the correct answer.</em>

<h3>What is theory?</h3>

A theory is a carefully thought-out explanation for observations of the natural world that has been constructed using the scientific method, and which brings together many facts and hypotheses.

Theories are one of the pinnacles of science and are widely accepted in the scientific community as being true.

Generally, gravity is theory that describes the force of pull of a planet on an object place on its surface. This theory of gravity is widely accepted, hence it meets the criteria of a theory.

Thus, gravity is a theory because it is explanation is widely accepted.

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

v = 15.8 m/s

Explanation:

Let's analyze the situation a little, we have a compressed spring so it has an elastic energy that will become part kinetic energy and a potential part for the man to get out of the barrel, in addition there is a friction force that they perform work against the movement.  So the variation of mechanical energy is equal to the work of the fictional force

    W_{fr} = ΔEm = Em_{f} -Em₀

Let's write the mechanical energy at each point

Initial

    Em₀ = Ke = ½ k x²

Final

   Em_{f} = K + U = ½ m v² + mg y

Let's use Hooke's law to find compression

    F = - k x

    x = -F / k

    x = 4400/1100

    x = - 4 m

Let's write the energy equation

    fr d = ½ m v² + mgy - ½ k x²

Let's clear the speed

   v² = (fr d + ½ kx² - mg y) 2 / m

   v² = (40 4.00 + ½ 1100 4² - 60.0 9.8 2.50)   2/60.0

   v² = (160 + 8800 - 1470) / 30

   v = √ (229.66)

   v = 15.8 m/s

Froghopper insects have a typical mass of around 11.3 mg and can jump to a height of 58.8 cm. The takeoff velocity is achieved a
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

2874.33 m/s²

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-0^2}{2\times h}\\\Rightarrow v^2=2ah\ m/s

Now H-h = 0.588 - 0.002 = 0.586 m

The final velocity will be the initial velocity

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow 0^2-u^2=2gs\\\Rightarrow -2ah=2\times g(H-h)\\\Rightarrow -2a0.002=2\times g0.586\\\Rightarrow a=-\frac{0.586\times -9.81}{0.002}\\\Rightarrow a=2874.33\ m/s^2

Acceleration of the frog is 2874.33 m/s²

Near the end of a marathon race, the first two runners are separated by a distance of 45.0 m. The front runner has a velocity of
vovangra [49]

Answer:

0.7 m/s

Explanation:

velocity of first runner = 3.5 m/s

velocity of second runner = 4.20 m/s

Both the runner are running in the same direction

velocity of second runner with respect to first runner = velocity of second runner - velocity of first runner

velocity of second runner with respect to first runner = 4.20 - 3.5 = 0.7 m/s
