The choices can be found elsewhere and as follows:

a. A hypothesis does not provide an explanation but instead only predicts what may happen.
b. A theory does not provide an explanation but instead only predicts what may happen.
c. The explanation given by a theory is well tested and supported by many observations and hypotheses.
<span>d. The explanation given by a hypothesis is well tested and supported by many observations and theories.
</span>
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. A hypothesis does not provide an explanation but instead only predicts what may happen. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

5.54 Two kilograms of air within a piston–cylinder assembly WP execute a Carnot power cycle with maximum and minimum temper atur
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

A) 60%

B) p2 = 1237.2 kPa

   v2 = 0.348 m^3

C) w1-2 = w3-4 = 1615.5 kJ

   Q2-3 = 60 kJ

Explanation:

A) calculate thermal efficiency

  Л = 1 - \frac{Tl}{Th}  

where Tl = 300 k

            Th = 750 k

hence thermal efficiency ( Л ) = [1 - ( 300 / 750 )] * 100 = 60%

B) calculate the pressure and volume at the beginning of the isothermal expansion

calculate pressure ( P2 )  :

= P3v3 = mRT3  ----- (1)

v3 = 0.4m , mR = 2* 0.287, T3 = 750

hence P3 = 1076.25

next equation to determine P2

Qex = p3v3 ln( p2/p3 )

60 = 1076.25 * 0.4 ln(p2/p3)

hence ; P2 = 1237.2 kpa

calculate volume ( V2 )

p2v2 = p3v3

v2 = p3v3 / p2

   = (1076.25 * 0.4 ) /  1237.2  

  = 0.348 m^3

C) calculate the work and heat transfer for each four processes

work :

W1-2 = mCv( T2 - T1 )

        = 2*0.718 ( 750 - 300 ) = 1615.5 kJ

W3-4 = 1615.5 kJ

heat transfer

Q2-3 = W2-3 = 60KJ

Q3-4 = 0

Two simple pendulum of slightly different length , are set off oscillating in step is a time of 20s has elasped , during which t
adell [148]

Answer:

Length of longer pendulum = 99.3 cm

Length of shorter pendulum = 82.2 cm

Explanation:

Since the longer pendulum undergoes 10 oscillations in 20 s, its period T = 20 s/10 = 2 s.

From T = 2π√(l/g), the length of the pendulum. l = T²g/4π²

substituting T = 2s and g = 9.8 m/s² we have

l = T²g/4π²

= (2 s)² × 9.8 m/s² ÷ 4π²

= 39.2 m ÷ 4π²

= 0.993 m

= 99.3 cm

Now, for the shorter pendulum to be in step with the longer pendulum, it must have completed some oscillations more than the longer pendulum. Let x be the number of oscillations more in t = 20 s. Let n₁ = number of oscillations of longer pendulum and n₂ = number of oscillations of longer pendulum.

So, n₂ = n₁ + x. Also n₁ = t/T₁ and n₂ = t/T₂ where T₂ = period of shorter pendulum.

t/T₂ = t/T₁ + x

1/T₂ = 1/T₁ + x  (1)

Also, the T₂ = t/n₂ = t/(n₁ + x)  (2)

From (1) T₂ = T₁/(T₁ + x) (3)

equating (2) and (3) we have

t/(n₁ + x) = T₁/(T₁ + x)

substituting t = 20 s and n₁ = 10 and T₁ = 2s, we have

20 s/(10 + x) = 2/(2 + x)

10/(10 + x) = 1/(2 + x)

(10 + x)/10 = (2 + x)

(10 + x) = 10(2 + x)

10 + x = 20 + 10x

collecting like terms

10x - x = 20 - 10

9x = 10

x = 10/9

x = 1.11

x ≅ 1 oscillation

substituting x into (2)

T₂ = t/n₂ = t/(n₁ + x)

= 20/(10 + 1)

= 20/11

= 1.82 s

Since length l = T²g/4π²

substituting T = 1.82 s and g = 9.8 m/s² we have

l = T²g/4π²

= (1.82 s)² × 9.8 m/s² ÷ 4π²

= 32.46 m ÷ 4π²

= 0.822 m

= 82.2 cm

maw [93]

Explanation:

Displacement=Velocity×time

=24.7×16.00

=395.2m

Therefore the displacement within the time interval is 395.2m

An Olympic swimmer swims 50.0 meters in 23.1 seconds . What is his average speed
Aneli [31]
If you take 50 meters and divide by 23.1 seconds, you will get 2.16 meters per second.

So his average speed is 2.16 m/s.
