How is a scientific theory different from a hypothesis?

Physics

A scientific theory is different from a hypothesis because a theory is a educated guess that is being worked on and proven correct and a hypothesis is a educated guess it is a guess that needs to be proven.

Kissa and Lily ran a race in gym class Lily was off balance so she did not start until 2 seconds had passed
Paul [167]
Average speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

Tissa covered 60 meters in 10 seconds. Her average speed was

(60 m) / (10 sec) = 6 m/s.

That's the slope of the dotted line.

Lilly covered 60 meters in 8 seconds. Her average speed was

(60 m) / (8 sec) = 7.5 m/s .

That's the slope of the solid line.

Lilly covered the same distance in less time, and both girls
arrived at the finish line together. Technically, in science talk,
we would say that Lilly ran "faster", and her average speed
was "greater".

We can detect that by looking at the graph, because Lilly's line
has the characteristic of being "steeper", and we know that the
slope of the line on a distance/time graph is "speed".

A metal wire is in thermal contact with two heat reservoirs at both of its ends. Reservoir 1 is at a temperature of 563 K, and r
Schach [20]

Answer:

1.85 J/K

Explanation:

The computation of total change in entropy is shown below:-

Change in Entropy = Sum Q ÷ T

= \frac{-heat\ entering\ the\ reservoir}{Reservoir\ 1\ Temperature} + \frac{Conduction\ of\ heat}{Reservoir\ 2\ Temperature}

= \frac{-1760}{563} + \frac{1760}{354}

= -3.12 + 4.97

= 1.85 J/K

Therefore for computing the total change in entropy we simply applied the above formula.

As we can see that there is heat entering the reservoir so it will be negative while cold reservoir will be positive else the process would be impossible.

If a sound with frequency fs is produced by a source traveling along a line with speed vs. If an observer is traveling with spee
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

457.81 Hz

Explanation:

From the question, it is stated that it is a question under Doppler effect.

As a result, we use this form

fo = (c + vo) / (c - vs) × fs

fo = observed frequency by observer =?

c = speed of sound = 332 m/s

vo = velocity of observer relative to source = 45 m/s

vs = velocity of source relative to observer = - 46 m/s ( it is taking a negative sign because the velocity of the source is in opposite direction to the observer).

fs = frequency of sound wave by source = 459 Hz

By substituting the the values to the equation, we have

fo = (332 + 45) / (332 - (-46)) × 459

fo = (377/ 332 + 46) × 459

fo = (377/ 378) × 459

fo = 0.9974 × 459

fo = 457.81 Hz

The air temperature in a 28 in.3 container with a free sliding piston is initially measured at 45 °
sergiy2304 [10]

To solve this we assume that the gas inside is an ideal gas. Then, we can use the ideal gas equation which is expressed as PV = nRT. At a constant pressure and number of moles of the gas the ratio T/V is equal to some constant. At another set of condition of temperature, the constant is still the same. Calculations are as follows:

T1 / V1 = T2 / V2

V2 = T2 x V1 / T1

V2 = 659.7 x 28 / 504.7

<span>V2 = 36.60 in^3</span>

ziro4ka [17]
Each principal energy level has one sublevel containing one orbital, an s orbital, that can contain a maximum of two electrons. Electrons in this orbital are called s electrons and have the lowest energy of any electrons in that principal energy level.
