Explain why a law is accepted as facr, but a theory is not​

Physics

Verizon [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Explanation:

A law and theory are distinct levels in the scientific method. They do not lead to one another.

A law is a description of an observed phenomenon in the natural world. Laws are always true and do not provide explanations as to why they hold true.

A theory is an explanation of an observed phenomenon. It is usually based on experimental evidence and bounded most time in the limits of available data.

  • A law cannot be deposed. It is a fact and holds true at all times.
  • Theories can be discarded even with new technological advancements that provides a new way of study.
  • This is why it is not a fact.

Explain why air masses do not mix
kati45 [8]

 

Different densities have to have a reason - different pressure and/or humidity etc. If there is a different pressure, there is a mechanical force that preserves the pressure difference: think about the cyclones that have a lower pressure in the center. The cyclones rotate in the right direction and the cyclone may be preserved by the Coriolis force.

If the two air masses differ by humidity, the mixing will almost always lead to precipitation - which includes a phase transition for water etc. It's because the vapor from the more humid air mass gets condensed under the conditions of the other. You get some rain. In general, intense precipitation, thunderstorms, and other visible isolated weather events are linked to weather fronts.

At any rate, a mixing of two air masses is a nontrivial, violent process in general. That's why the boundary is called a "front". In the military jargon, a front is the contested frontier of a conflict. So your idea that the air masses could mix quickly and peacefully - whatever you exactly mean quantitatively - either neglects the inertia of the air, a relatively low diffusion coefficient, a low thermal conductivity, and/or high latent heat of water vapor. A front is something that didn't disappear within minutes so pretty much tautologically, there must be forces that make such a quick disappearance impossible.

A bicyclist in the Tour de France crests a mountain pass as he moves at 18 km/h. At the bottom, 4.0 km farther, his speed is at
Allisa [31]

We are given:

v0 = initial velocity = 18 km/h

d = distance = 4 km

v = final velocity = 75 km/h

a =?

<span>
We can solve this problem by using the formula:</span>

v^2 = v0^2 + 2 a d

 

75^2 = 18^2 + 2 (a) * 4

5625 = 324 + 8a

<span>a = 662.625 km/h^2</span>
