I was about to say: because people generally get comfortable with
what they think they know, and don't like the discomfort of being told
that they have to change something they're comfortable with.
But then I thought about it a little bit more, and I have a different answer.
"Society" might initially reject a new scientific theory, because 'society'
is totally unequipped to render judgement of any kind regarding any
development in Science.
First of all, 'Society' is a thing that's made of a bunch of people, so it's
inherently unequipped to deal with scientific news. Anything that 'Society'
decides has a lot of the mob psychology in it, and a public opinion poll or
a popularity contest are terrible ways to evaluate a scientific discovery.
Second, let's face it. The main ingredient that comprises 'Society' ... people ...
are generally uneducated, unknowledgeable, unqualified, and clueless in the
substance, the history, and the methods of scientific inquiry and reporting.
There may be very good reasons that some particular a new scientific theory
should be rejected, or at least seriously questioned. But believe me, 'Society'
doesn't have them.
That's pretty much why.
If he’s walking at a constant velocity there is no acceleration.
<u>Answer:</u> The ball is travelling with a speed of 5.5 m/s after hitting the <u>bottle.</u>
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate the speed of ball after the collision, we use the equation of law of conservation of momentum, which is given by:
where,
are the mass, initial velocity and final velocity of ball.
are the mass, initial velocity and final velocity of bottle.
We are given:
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the ball is travelling with a speed of 5.5 m/s after hitting the bottle.
in case you dont want to read the answer is B
Cosmic, or background, radiation is the small amount of high energy radiation which is mostly left over from the big bang or from supernovas. It is mostly single protons, but also alpha particles and even sometimes heavier elements. It can also refer to the low levels of electromagnetic radiation present all over the universe.
