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.

Two separate disks are connected by a belt traveling at 5m/s. Disk 1 has a mass of 10kg and radius of 35cm. Disk 2 has a mass of

pantera1 [17]

Explanation:

Given that,

Linear speed of both disks is 5 m/s

Mass of disk 1 is 10 kg

Radius of disk 1 is 35 cm or 0.35 m

Mass of disk 2 is 3 kg

Radius of disk 2 is 7 cm or 0.07 m

(a) The angular velocity of disk 1 is :

$v=r_1\omega_1\\\\\omega_1=\dfrac{v}{r_1}\\\\\omega_1=\dfrac{5}{0.35}\\\\\omega_1=14.28\ rad/s$

(b) The angular velocity of disk 2 is :

$v=r_2\omega_2\\\\\omega_2=\dfrac{v}{r_2}\\\\\omega_2=\dfrac{5}{0.07}\\\\\omega_2=71.42\ rad/s$

(c) The moment of inertia for the two disk system is given by :

$I=I_1+I_2\\\\I=\dfrac{1}{2}m_1r_1^2+\dfrac{1}{2}m_2r_2^2\\\\I=\dfrac{1}{2}(m_1r_1^2+m_2r_2^2)\\\\I=\dfrac{1}{2}\times (10\times (0.35)^2+3\times (0.07)^2)\\\\I=0.619\ kg-m^2$

Hence, this is the required solution.

The distance, x, covered by a particle in time, t, is given as x=a +bc+ct^2 +dt^3

Sav [38]

Answer:

$a$ has units of distance

$b$ has units of distance over time

$c$ has units of distance over $time^2$

$d$ has units of distance over $time^3$

Explanation:

Since the expression for the distance is:

$x = a+b\,t+c\,t^2+d\,t^3$

then:

$a$ has units of distance

$b$ has units of distance over time

$c$ has units of distance over $time^2$

$d$ has units of distance over $time^3$

because we are supposed to be able to add all of the terms and get a distance. So the products on each term that contains factors of time (t) should be cancelling those time units with units in the denominator of the multiplicative constant s that accompany them.

Three small balls of the same size but different masses are hung side-by-side in parallel on the strings of same length. They to

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

m1/6 ( c )

Explanation:

since all the balls starts having the same momentum after the two collisions we will apply the principal of conservation of energy

After first collision

m1v = m1v1 + m2v2 --- ( 1 )

After second collision

m2v2 = m2v2 + m3v3 ---- ( 2 )

combining equations 1 and 2

m1v = m1v1 + m2v2 + m3v3 ----- ( 3 )

All balls moving at the same momentum ( p ) = m1v1 = m2v2 = m3v3

note ; 3p = m1v ∴ m3 = $\frac{m1v}{3v3}$ ----- ( 4 )

applying conservation of energy

3v = v1 + v2 + v3 ------- ( 5 )

also 3m1v1 = m1v = v1 = v/3 =

v2 + v3 = 8/3 v ----- ( 6 )

next eliminate V3 for equation 6 by applying conservation of energy and momentum

m1 = 2m2 ------ ( 7 )

now using p1 = p2 = m1v1 = 1/2 m1v1 hence v2 = 2v1 where v1 = 1/3 v

hence ; v2 = 2/3 v ------- ( 8 )

solving with equation 6 and 8

v3 = 2v ------ ( 9 ) ∴ v/v3 = 1/2 ---- ( 10 )

solving with equation 9 and 10

m3 = m1/3 * 1/2 = m1/6

a system of four particles moves along one dimension. the center of mass of the system is at rest, and the particles do not inte

Zinaida [17]

The velocity of the particle 4 at time, t = 2.83 s, is -14.1 m/s.

The given parameters;

m1 = 1.45 kg, v1(t) = (6.09m/s) + (0.299m/s^2) × t

m2 = 2.81 kg, v2(t) = (7.83m/s) + (0.357m/s^2) × t

m3 = 3.89 kg, v3(t) = (8.09m/s) + (0.405m/s^2) × t

m4 = 5.03kg

The velocity of the center mass of the particles is calculated as;

McmVcm = m1v1 + m2v2 +m3v3+m4v4

Vcm= m1v1 + m2v2 +m3v3 +m4v4/ Mcm

0 = m1v1 + m2v2 +m3v3 +m4v4/ Mcm

m1v1 + m2v2 +m3v3+m4v4 = 0

m4v4 = -(m1v1 + m2v2 +m3v3)

v4 =-(m1v1 + m2v2 +m3v3)/ m4

The velocity of particle 1 at time, t = 2.83 s;

vi = 6.09 + 0.299× 2.83

v1 = 6.94 m/s

The velocity of particle 3 at time, t = 2.83 s;

v2 = 7.83 + 0.357 × 2.83

v2 = 8.84 m/s

The velocity of particle 3 at time, t = 2.83 s;

v3 = 8.09 + 0.405 × 2.83

v3 = 9.24 m/s

The velocity of particle 3 at time, t = 2.83 s;

v4 = - (m1v1 + m2v2 + m3v3)/m4

v4 = -(1.45×6.94 + 2.81×8.84 + 3.89×9.24)/5.03

v4 = -14.4 m/s

Thus, the velocity of the particle 4 at time, t = 2.83 s, is -14.1 m/s.
