Answer: The theory might have become Obsolete or Superseded

Explanation:

A theory becomes obsolete or superseded if it becomes inadequate, false or incomplete in how its describes reality. It does not matter if it was once accepted. There are some theories such as Lysenkoism that are currently described as being obsolete because it does not conform to current reality. Another example of a theory that was superseded is the phlogiston theory. It was replaced a different theory of energy.

find a magnitude of the force such that if the act at right angle there resultant is √10N but if the act of 50° the resultant is
Readme [11.4K]

Explanation:

Let magnitude of the two forces be x and y.

Resultant at right angle R1= √15N) and at

60 degrees be R2= √18N.

Now, R1 = √(x² + y²) = √15,

R2= √(x² + y² +2xycos50) = √18.

So x² + y² = 15,

and x² + y² + 1.29xy = 18,

therefore 1.29xy = 3,

y = 3/1.29x.

y = 2.33/x

Now, x2 + (2.33/x)2 = 15,

x² + 5.45/x² = 15

multiply through by x²

x⁴ + 5.45 = 15x²

x⁴ - 15x2 + 5.45 = 0

Now find the roots of the equation, and later y. The two values of x will correspond to the

magnitudes of the two vectors.

Good luck

A shuttle on Earth has a mass of 4.5 E 5 kg. Compare its weight on Earth to its weight while in orbit at a height of 6.3 E 5 met
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

83%

Explanation:

On the surface, the weight is:

W = GMm / R²

where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the Earth, m is the mass of the shuttle, and R is the radius of the Earth.

In orbit, the weight is:

w = GMm / (R+h)²

where h is the height of the shuttle above the surface of the Earth.

The ratio is:

w/W = R² / (R+h)²

w/W = (R / (R+h))²

Given that R = 6.4×10⁶ m and h = 6.3×10⁵ m:

w/W = (6.4×10⁶ / 7.03×10⁶)²

w/W = 0.83

The shuttle in orbit retains 83% of its weight on Earth.

A sound wave has a frequency of 425 hz. what is the period of this wave? 0.00235 seconds 0.807 seconds 425 seconds 850 seconds
77julia77 [94]

The period of the sound wave at the given frequency is determined as 0.00235 second.

<h3>Period of the sound wave</h3>

The period of the sound wave at the given frequency is calculated as follows;

Period is reciprocal of frequency.

T = 1/f

T = 1/425

T = 0.00235 second

Thus, the period of the sound wave at the given frequency is determined as 0.00235 second.

1. Compare and contrast the SI and the English systems of measurement.
yulyashka [42]

Answer:The SI system is based on the number 10 as well as multiples and products of 10. This makes it much easier to use, and so it has been the accepted system in scientific and technical applications. The English system is more complicated as relationships between units of the same quantity aren't uniform.

THE NUMERICAL RATIO OF DISPLACEMENT TO DISTANCE IS:​
Tamiku [17]

There's no general rule.  

Displacement is the length of a straight line from start to finish, and distance is how far you actually traveled from start to finish.

The only thing we really know is that distance can never be shorter than displacement.  So I guess the answer is:

<em>The numerical ratio of displacement to distance is always 1 or less</em>.

(But it has to be written ALL IN CAPITALS.)
