Speed = distance / time.
Speed of him leaving the nest:
S = 100 / 20sec
5 m/s.
Catching the snake:
S2 = 50 / 5sec
10 m/s.
Average of 5& 10 = 7.5
7.5 m/s has to be the answer.
Acceleration = ms^(-1)
= 60/4
=15 ms with the power of -1
A. Scientific Law. The mathematics surrounding the acceleration due to gravity is a law. It is calculated from the universal law of gravity. However, the explanation of the idea of gravity is a theory. This falls back to the idea that science is about disproving ideas that we currently believe, rather than proving ideas are correct. Unless we can disprove an idea, we have to accept the possibility that it is true; the more trials we have of being unable to disprove something, the more accepted it will be. Yet, no idea can be without doubt and certainty be accepted for what it is. So, to sum it up, scientific laws are factual descriptions (by formula or word) of phenomenon which always occur given specific conditions. On the other hand, scientific theories are explanations of the causes underlying these phenomena, the explanation formulated in such a way that they can be disproven.
Answer:
In physics, a force is any influence that causes an object to undergo a certain change, either concerning its movement, direction, or geometrical construction. In other words, a force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate, or a flexible object to deform, or both.
Explanation:
Answer:
a) The wavelength of light is 6×10^-7 m.
b) The size of the central peak is 6×10^-3 m.
Explanation:
let:
α be the distance between the 1st and 2nd maxima
d = 0.4 mm be the grating slit space
X be the distance to the screen
a) α = λ×X/d
λ = α×d/X
= (0.3×10^-2)×(0.4×10^-3)/(2)
= 6×10^-7 m
Therefore, the wavelength of light is 6×10^-7 m.
b) the size of the central peak is given by:
D = 2×λ×X/d
= 2×(6×10^-7)×(2)/(0.4×10^-3)
= 6×10^-3 m
Therefore, the size of the central peak is 6×10^-3 m.
