What is the difference between a do universal law and a scientific theory

Physics
1 answer:
liubo4ka [24]3 years ago

The main difference between a law and a theory is that a theory tries to explain the reasoning behind something that occurs in nature, whereas scientific laws are just descriptive accounts of how something occurs in nature. Law and theory are two terms that are often used in context of scientific terminology.

Water from a vertical pipe emerges as a 10-cm-diameter cylinder and falls straight down 7.5 m into a bucket. The water exits the
cupoosta [38]

The diameter of the column of the water as it hits the bucket is 4.04 cm

The equation of continuity occurs in the fluid system and it asserts that the inflow and the outflow of the volume rate at the inlet and at the outlet of the system are equal.

By using the kinematics equation to determine the speed of the water in the bucket and applying the equation of continuity to estimate the diameter of the column, we have the following;

Using the kinematics equation:

\mathbf{v_f ^2 = v_i^2 + 2gh}

\mathbf{v_f ^2 =(2.0)^2 + 2\times 9.8 \times 7.5}

\mathbf{v_f ^2 =151 m/s}

\mathbf{v_f  =\sqrt{151 m/s}}

\mathbf{v_f  =12.29 \ m/s}  

From the equation of continuity:

\mathbf{A_iV_i = A_fV_f}

\mathbf{\pi r^2_iV_i = \pi r^2_fV_f}

\mathbf{ r^2_iV_i =  r^2_fV_f}

\mathbf{ (\dfrac{10}{2})^2\times 2.0 =  r_f^2 \times 12.29}

\mathbf{ 50 = 12.29 \times r_f^2}

\mathbf{ r_f=  \sqrt{\dfrac{50}{12.29} }}

\mathbf{ V_f= 2.02 \ cm }

Since diameter = 2r;

∴

The diameter of the column of the water is:

= 2(2.02) cm

= 4.04 cm

A rubber balloon is filled with 1 L of air at 1 atm and 300 K and is then put into a cryogenic refrigerator at 100 K. The rubber
Kipish [7]

Answer:

The correct answers are

(a) It decreases to 1/3 L

(ii) is (c) It is constant

Explanation:

to solve this, we list out the number of knowns and unknowns so as to determine the correct equation to solve the problem

The given variables are as follows

Initial volume V1 = 1L

V2 = Unknown

Initial Temperature T1 = 300K

let us assume that the balloon is perfectly elastic

At 300K the balloon is filled and it stretches to maintain 1 atmosphere

at 100K the content of the balloon cools reducing the excitement of the gas content which also reduces the pressure, however, the balloon being perfectly elastic, contracts to maintain the 1 atmospheric pressure, hence the answer to (ii) is (c) It is constant,

For (i) since we know that the pressure of the balloon is constant

by Charles Law V1/T1 =V2/T2

or V2 = (V1/T1)×T2 =\frac{1L}{300K}× 100K= \frac{1}{3} × L = L/3 hence the correct answer to (i) is 1/3L

Work-Energy Theorem: A 4.0 kg object is moving with speed 2.0 m/s. A 1.0 kg object is moving with speed 4.0 m/s. Both objects en
allsm [11]

The same braking force does work on these objects to slow them down. The work done is equal to their change in kinetic energy:

FΔx = 0.5mv²

F = force, Δx = distance traveled, m = mass, v = speed

Isolate Δx:

Δx = 0.5mv²/F

Calculate Δx for each object.

Object 1: m = 4.0kg, v = 2.0m/s

Δx = 0.5(4.0)(2.0)²/F = 8/F

Object 2: m = 1.0kg, v = 4.0m/s

Δx = 0.5(1.0)(4.0)²/F = 8/F

The two objects travel the same distance before stopping.
