Development of new areas in science and technology affects theories in a way that the theory, because of new information can change. Almost all theories change over time because of new evidence and new information. Sometimes they even become obsolete because a new theory is formed that is better than the old theory.

For example, Newtons theory of gravity is still good enough for some area of physical research, when we talk about macroscopic bodies that don't have a very high velocity. But Newtons theory has been expanded by Einstein's theory of relativity and quantum mechanics because those theories explain in a much more precise way how particles like photons act when they have very high velocities and how very small particles, like electrons act. 

All of the other options here are false. Theories can't, by definition become laws. Theories can't, by definition, become facts. And finally, theories, by definition, can't become hypotheses.

How much heat is contained in 100 kg of water at 60.0 °C?
attashe74 [19]
First we need to write down heat capacity for water which is constant.
cp=4186 J/(kg*K)

The equation for Energy that we will be calculating is:

E=cp*m*T
where m is mass and T is absolute temperature (273,15 + 60 in this case). Replacing all the values in equation we get:

E = 4186*100*333,15 = 139 456 590 J

Are there conditions under which the incident light ray undergoes reflection but not transmission at the boundary? if so, then w
Luden [163]

Total internal reflection causes light to be completely reflected across the  boundary between the two media but not transmitted.

<h3>What is total internal reflection?</h3>

The term total internal reflection occurs when light is moving from a denser to a less dense medium such as from glass to air. This phenomenon occurs at the interface between the two media.

There are two conditions necessary for total internal reflection and they are;

1) Light must travel from a denser to a less dense medium

2) The angle of incidence in the denser medium must be greater than the critical angle.

Total internal reflection causes light to be completely reflected across the  boundary between the two media but not transmitted.

A spring on a horizontal surface can be stretched and held 0.2 m from its equilibrium position with a force of 16 N. a. How much
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

a   W_{3.5} = 490 \  J

b  W_{2.5} =  250 \  J

Explanation:

Generally the force constant is mathematically represented as

       k  = \frac{F}{x}

substituting values given in the question

=>   k  = \frac{16}{0.2}

=>   k  =  80 \ N /m

Generally the workdone  in stretching the spring 3.5 m is mathematically represented as

       W_{3.5} =  \frac{1}{2}  *  k  *  (3.5)^2

=>     W_{3.5} =  \frac{1}{2}  *  80  *  (3.5)^2

=>    W_{3.5} = 490 \  J

Generally the workdone  in compressing the spring 2.5 m is mathematically represented as

        W_{2.5} =  \frac{1}{2}  *  k  *  (2.5)^2

=>      W_{2.5} =  \frac{1}{2}  *  80 *  (2.5)^2

=>       W_{2.5} =  250 \  J

A stereo speaker produces a pure \"E\" tone, with a frequency of 329.6 Hz. What is the period of the sound wave produced by the
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

0.003034 s

1.035 m

4.5 m

Explanation:

f = frequency of the tone = 329.6 Hz

T = Time period of the sound wave

we know that, Time period and frequency are related as

T =\frac{1}{f}\\T =\frac{1}{329.6}\\T = 0.003034 s

v = speed of the sound in the air = 341 ms⁻¹

wavelength of the sound is given as

\lambda =\frac{v}{f} \\\lambda =\frac{341}{329.6}\\\lambda = 1.035 m

v = speed of the sound in the water = 1480 ms⁻¹

wavelength of the sound in water is given as

\lambda =\frac{v}{f} \\\lambda =\frac{1480}{329.6}\\\lambda = 4.5 m
