How long does it usually take a hypothesis to become a theory

Physics

Ann [662]4 years ago

Answer:

If enough evidence accumulates to support a hypothesis, it moves to the next step (known as a theory) in the scientific method and becomes accepted as a valid explanation of a phenomenon.

<u>Answer:</u>

Hypothesis is usually referred as an assumption or an observation made without much proof to support the statement. Hence scientists and experimental physicists uses hypothesis and perform experiments and observations to support the theory.

The hypothesis will get transformed into a theory only when there is enough evidence to support the cause and the science behind the set of events. It is dependent upon a number of scientific tests an hence it is not possible to define a time period. It may varies from years to forever (or never).

Explain how VSEPR theory predicts the shapes of molecules. Match the words in the left column to the appropriate blanks in the s
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

The VSEPR theory and how it predicts the shapes of molecules:

Explanation:

The Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) theory is a model used in chemistry to predict the shapes of individual molecules by the number of electron pairs that they have in the center of the atom. This theory is also based on the notion that the electrons around the atom repel one another. The Valence electrons on the outermost layer of the molecule are the most important in defining the geometry as they are the first to interact with other atoms and will be involved in bonding.

An ice cube of mass 50.0 g can slide without friction up and down a 25.0 degree slope. The ice cube is pressed against a spring
lozanna [386]

Answer:

0.6 m

Explanation:

When a spring is compressed it stores potential energy. This energy is:

Ep = 1/2 * k * x^2

Being x the distance it compressed/stretched.

When the spring bounces the ice cube back it will transfer that energy to the cube, it will raise up the slope, reaching a high point where it will have a speed of zero and a potential energy equal to what the spring gave it.

The potential energy of the ice cube is:

Ep = m * g * h

This is vertical height and is related to the distance up the slope by:

sin(a) = h/d

h = sin(a) * d

Replacing:

Ep = m * g * sin(a) * d

Equating both potential energies:

1/2 * k * x^2 = m * g * sin(a) * d

d = (1/2 * k * x^2) / (m * g * sin(a))

d= (1/2 * 25 * 0.1^2) / (0.05 * 9.81 * sin(25)) = 0.6 m

A 55 kg roller skater is at rest on a flat skating rink, a 198 N horizontal force is needed to set the skater in motion.
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

To get the person Moving you have to overcome the static (means not moving) friction coefficient.  U(static)

To get the person going at the same speed you have to overcome the kinetic friction coefficient. U(Kinetic)

Force to get him moving is 198 N.   Force = ma = U(static)Mg

combining the 2 equations you get 198N = U(static)* 55kg *9.8m/s^2   Solve for U(static)

Same equation to keep him moving except with the dynamic force and the dynamic U

 

175N=  U(kinetic)*55kg*9.8m/s^2  Solve (U dynamic)
