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).

What is the density of cylindrical (coin) object if it has a mass of 0.69 kg , and a radius of 0.03 m, along with a thickness of

olganol [36]

Density = Mass / Volume

Mass = 0.69kg

Volume of cylinder (coin) = Area X Height
Area of coin = (3.14)(0.03)^2
Height = Thickness = 0.003m

Volume of coin = (0.0003) X (3.14)(0.03)^2

Density = (Mass of coin) / (Volume of coin)

How are gamma rays and microwaves similar

kompoz [17]

They are both electromagnetic waves

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are waves consisting of periodic oscillations of electric and magnetic fields. The fields oscillate in a plane perpendicular to the direction of motion the wave, so they are transverse waves.

Electromagnetic waves are the only type of waves able to travel in a vacuum. All electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum at the same speed, known as the speed of light, equal to:

$c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s$

Electromagnetic waves are divided into 7 different types, depending on their wavelength and frequency. From the shortest to the longest wavelength (and so, from highest to lowest frequency, since frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength), we have:

Gamma rays

X rays

Ultraviolet

Visible light

Infrared radiation

Microwaves

Radio waves

So as we can see, both gamma rays and microwaves are types of electromagnetic waves. The difference between them is their different wavelength/frequency: in fact, the wavelength of gamma rays is extremently short (), while microwaves have longer wavelengths (at the order of the centimeter).

Question 5 of 5: Someone texting or talking spans an average of 27 seconds after they put the phone down are still thinking abou

AVprozaik [17]

The answer is true. Distraction “latency” lasts for about 27 seconds.

This means that even after driver put down the phone or stop fooling with the navigation system; he or she isn’t fully committed with the driving task. Talking on a cell phone and texting are frequent what people associate with distracted driving, but there are so much more activities behind distracted driving.
