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.

What is the Ah rating of a battery that can provide 0.8 A for 76 h?

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

6.08

Explanation:

Given that,

Current, I = 0.8 A

Time, t = 76 h

We need to find the Ah rating of a battery. It can be calculated by taking the product of current and time. So,

Ah = (0.8)(76)

= 6.08 Ah

So, the Ah rating of the battery is 6.08.

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

0 MN/C, 2.697 MV

4.1953 MN/C, 1.2586 MV

19.2642857143 MN/C, 2.697 MV

Explanation:

k = Coulomb constant = $8.99\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2$

Electric field at r = 8 cm

E = 0 (inside)

Electric potential is given by

$V=\dfrac{kq}{R}\\\Rightarrow V=\dfrac{8.99\times 10^{9}\times 42\times 10^{-6}}{0.14}\\\Rightarrow V=2697000\ V=2.697\ MV$

Electric potential is 2.697 MV

r = 30 cm

$E=\dfrac{kq}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{8.99\times 10^{9}\times 42\times 10^{-6}}{0.3^2}\\\Rightarrow E=4195333.33\ MN/C=4.1953\ MN/C$

Electric field is 4.1953 MN/C

$V=\dfrac{kq}{r}\\\Rightarrow V=\dfrac{8.99\times 10^{9}\times 42\times 10^{-6}}{0.3}\\\Rightarrow V=1258600\ V=1.2586\ MV$

Electric potential is 1.2586 MV

r = R = 14 cm

$E=\dfrac{kq}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{8.99\times 10^{9}\times 42\times 10^{-6}}{0.14^2}\\\Rightarrow E=19264285.7143\ N/C=19.2642857143\ MN/C$

The electric field is 19.2642857143 MN/C

$V=\dfrac{kq}{r}\\\Rightarrow V=\dfrac{8.99\times 10^{9}\times 42\times 10^{-6}}{0.14}\\\Rightarrow V=2697000\ V=2.697\ MV$

The potential is 2.697 MV
