Answer:

an explanation on how the natural world works

Explanation:

A scientific theory is simply an explanation into how the natural world works. Scientific theory is formulated after a series of hypothesis that has ascertained how true an observation is.

A theory is provides explanation into an observed feature. It can be disproved when new evidences are found. This brings about revision into scientific proofs.

Two resistors of 12Ω and 2Ω are connected in parallel to a battery of 4 V. Current through 12Ω resistor will be _____________ an
Alex

Answer:

0.33  Amp

8 Watts

Explanation:

The current through the 12 Ω resistor will be given by Ohm's law:

4 V / 12 Ω = 1/3 Amp ≈ 0.33  Amp

The power dissipated on the 2 Ω resistor can be calculated via the formula: \frac{V^2}{R}  which gives:

4^2 / 2 = 8 Watts

What frequency is received by a person watching an oncoming ambulance moving at 110 km/h and emitting a steady 800-Hz sound from
Strike441 [17]

To develop this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Doppler effect. The frequency of sound perceive by observer changes from source emitting the sound. The frequency received by observer f_{obs} is more than the frequency emitted by the source. The expression to find the frequency received by the person is,

f_{obs} = f_s (\frac{v_w}{v_w-v_s})

f_s= Frequency of the source

v_w= Speed of sound

v_s= Speed of source

The velocity of the ambulance is

v_s = 119km/h (\frac{1000m}{1km})(\frac{1h}{3600s})

v_s = 30.55m/s

Replacing at the expression to frequency of observer we have,

f_{obs} = 800Hz(\frac{345m/s}{345m/s-30.55m/s})

f_{obs} = 878Hz

Therefore the frequency receive by observer is 878Hz

dybincka [34]

ELECTROSTATIC:

relating to stationary electric charges or fields as opposed to electric currents.

NEUTRAL:

nor negative nor positive/having no charge

POSITIVELY CHARGED:

positive charge occurs when the number of protons exceeds the number of electrons

NEGATIVELY CHARGED:

negative charge occurs when the number of electrons exceeds the number of protons.

COULOMB:

SI unit for electric charge. One coulomb is equal to the amount of charge from a current of one ampere flowing for one second.

MICROCOULOMB:

a unit of electrical charge equal to one millionth of a coulomb.

NANOCOULOMB:

Nanocoulombs are a unit of charge 1,000,000,000 times smaller than Coulomb.

CONSERVATION OF CHARGE:

constancy of the total electric charge in the universe or in any specific chemical or nuclear reaction

QUANTISATION OF CHARGE:

Charge quantization is the principle that the charge of any object is an integer multiple of the elementary charge.
