Science is open to change because scientists agree that there are no absolute truths, only the best explanations for the data

there are specifically two cases when science can change:
-new data is discovered (for example new skeleton makes us revise the known history of homo species)

-a new model is proposed that fits the data better (such as the heliocentric model of Copernicus)

Real world situation to explain the relationship between work and power
In-s [12.5K]
-- You and your partner both get the same job to do:

Each of you gets a pallet of bricks, and you have to
put the bricks up on the bed of a truck, by hand.
Both pallets have the same number of bricks.

The pallet is way too heavy to lift, so you both cut the bands
that hold the bricks, and you lift the bricks from the pallet onto
the truck, by hand, two or three or four bricks at a time.

-- You get your pallet of bricks onto the truck in 45 minutes.

-- Your partner gets his pallet of bricks onto the truck in 3 days.

-- Work = (force) times (distance).

    You and your partner both lifted the same amount of weight
     up to the same height.  You both did the same amount of work.

-- Power = (work done) divided by (time it takes to do the work) .

  
Your partner took roughly 96 times as long as you took
   to do the same amount of work. 
   You did it faster.  He did it slower.
   You produced more power.  He produced less power.

You place an 8 kg ball on the top of your 2 cm^2 finger tip. Calculate the
Rashid [163]

Answer:

the pressure exerted by the object is 392,000 N/m²

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the object, m = 8 kg

area of your finger, A = 2 cm² = 2.0 x 10⁻⁴ m²

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

The pressure exerted by the object is calculated as;

Pressure = \frac{F}{A} = \frac{mg}{A} = \frac{8 \times 9.8}{2\times 10^{-4}} = 392,000 \ N/m^2

Therefore, the pressure exerted by the object is 392,000 N/m²

A lamp uses a 230 V mains supply and transfers 96 J of energy every second. Work out the current through the lamp. Give your ans
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

0.4 A

Explanation:

From the question,

Electric power = Voltage×current

P = VI.......................... Equation 1

Make I the subject of the equation

I = P/V..................... Equation 2

Given: P = 96 J/s, V = 230 V.

Substitute into equation 2

I = 96/230

I = 0.4 A.

Hence the current is 0.4 A

If a train going 60 m/s hits the brakes, and it takes the train 85 seconds to stop, what is
Anvisha [2.4K]

Question :-

  • If a Train going with 60 m/s Speed hits the Brakes, and takes 85 sec to stop. What is the Acceleration of the Train ?

Answer :-

  • Acceleration of Train is 0.70 m/s² .

Explanation :-

As per the provided information in the given question, we have been given that the Speed of the Train is 60 m/s . Time taken to stop the Train is 85 sec . And, we have been asked to calculate the Acceleration of the Train .

For calculating the Acceleration , we will use the Formula :-

\bigstar \:  \:  \:  \boxed { \sf{ \: Acceleration \:  =  \:  \dfrac{v \:  -  \: u}{t} \:  }} \\

Where ,

  • V denotes to Final Velocity .
  • U denotes to Initial Velocity .
  • T denotes to Time Taken .

Therefore , by Substituting the given values in the above Formula :-

\dag \:  \:  \:  \:  \sf{Acceleration \:  =  \:  \dfrac{Final  \: Velocity \:  -  \: Initial \: Velocity}{Time} } \\

\longmapsto \:  \:  \: \sf{Acceleration \:  =  \:  \dfrac{0 \:  -  \: 60}{85} } \\

\longmapsto \:  \:  \: \sf{Acceleration \:  =  \:  \dfrac{60}{85} } \\

\longmapsto \:  \:  \: \textbf {\textsf {Acceleration \:  =  \: 0.70 }}

Hence :-

  • Acceleration = 0.70 m/s² .
