Answer: No.

Explanation:

A scientific theory is an explanation of some aspect of the natural world that can be tested several times, and follows the scientific method. And, when possible, theories are tested with experiments.

Now, a scientific theory must meet some criteria, and one of those is that it must be supported by several (and independent) strands of evidence.

In this case, we have only one, Meatball, and it is not enough, then it can not be a scientific theory.

What is the kinetic energy of a hammer that starts from rest and decreases its potential energy by 10 kJ?

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

final kinetic energy of the hammer is 10 kJ

Explanation:

As we know that there is no non conservative force on the system

So here we can use the theory of mechanical energy conservation

So we will have

$\Delta K + \Delta U = 0$

here we know that

$\Delta U = - 10 kJ$

from above expression now

$K_f - K_i - 10 kJ = 0$

$K_f - 0 = 10 kJ$

so final kinetic energy of the hammer is 10 kJ

Find the net charge of a system consisting of 6.25×10^6 electrons and 7.75×10^6 protons. Express your answer using three signifi

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

2.40 x 10⁻¹³ C

Explanation:

$n_{e}$ = number of electrons = 6.25 x 10⁶

$q_{e}$ = charge on electron = - 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

$n_{p}$ = number of protons = 7.75 x 10⁶

$q_{p}$ = charge on proton = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

Net charge is given as

Q = $n_{e}$ $q_{e}$ + $n_{p}$ $q_{p}$

Q = (- 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹) (6.25 x 10⁶) + (1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹) (7.75 x 10⁶)

Q = 2.40 x 10⁻¹³ C

Two pipes move the same amount of ideal fluid in the same amount of time. One pipe has a 2 in. diameter; the other has a 3 in. d

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

a) 3-in. pipe

Explanation:

Given that

Fluid flow is in same amount in the same time it means that volume flow rate is same for the pipes

Volume flow rate

Q = A V

A=Area ,V=Velocity

$A=\dfrac{\pi}{4}d^2$

If diameter d is more then the velocity will be less for same volume flow rate .We also Know that if pressure is more then the velocity will be less.

The second pipe 3 in diameter having more diameter then the velocity will be less but the pressure will be more.

That is why the 3 in diameter is having more pressure than 2 in diameter pipe.

Therefore the answer will be a.

a) 3-in diameter pipe

A long ramp made of cast iron is sloped at a constant angle θ = 52.0∘ above the horizontal. Small blocks, each with mass 0.42 kg

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

For cast iron we have

$h = 0.92 m$

For copper

$h = 1.05 m$

For Lead

$h = 1.23 m$

For Zinc

$h = 2.43 m$

Explanation:

As we know that final speed of the block is calculated by work energy theorem

$W_f + W_g = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

now we have

$-\mu_k mg cos\theta(\frac{h}{sin\theta}) + mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

now we have

$v^2 = 2gh - 2\mu_k g h cot\theta$

$v = \sqrt{2gh(1 - \mu_k cot\theta)}$

For cast iron we have

$4 = \sqrt{2(9.81)(h)(1 - 0.15cot52)}$

$h = 0.92 m$

For copper

$4 = \sqrt{2(9.81)(h)(1 - 0.29cot52)}$

$h = 1.05 m$

For Lead

$4 = \sqrt{2(9.81)(h)(1 - 0.43cot52)}$

$h = 1.23 m$

For Zinc

$4 = \sqrt{2(9.81)(h)(1 - 0.85cot52)}$

$h = 2.43 m$

Linda is a forensic scientist arriving at the crime scene. What must she do before she can examine the crime scene?

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

In the more scientific viewpoint, the most important thing that she must do is caring for her hygiene and put some plastic gloves in her hands.

This is because there are lots of particles that can be retained in the hands (dust, skin, etc), and when examining the scene, she may drop some of these particles, "contaminating" the scene in this way with information that only will affect the investigation.

So the most important thing is being prepared to not affect anything in the crime scene
