Essentially laws and theories are the same thing. In modern day science we don't generate "laws" per se, we call highly tested and sound hypotheses "theories" rather than laws. As such, both things can (and should) be questioned if there is repeatable evidence to support a contradiction. This is what keeps science moving forward.
For example we have Newton's Laws of motion which were shown to be only approximations by the theory of relativity. These were long held as true Laws of Nature but are actually incorrect.

a 20 kg projectile is launched from a cannon. a. if the projectile leaves the cannon with a velocity of 54 m/s, what is the work
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

KE = 1/2 M v^2       kinetic energy of projectile

KE = 1/2 * 20 * (54 m/s)^2 = work done on projectile

W = 10 * 54^2 = work done on projectile

W = 29,160 J

A particle of mass 2.37 kg is subject to a force that is always pointed towards East or West but whose magnitude changes sinusoi
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

v(1.5)=0.7648\ m/s

Explanation:

<u>Dynamics</u>

When a particle of mass m is subject to a net force F, it moves at an acceleration given by

\displaystyle a=\frac{F}{m}

The particle has a mass of m=2.37 Kg and the force is horizontal with a variable magnitude given by

F=2cos1.1t

The variable acceleration is calculated by:

\displaystyle a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{2cos1.1t}{2.37}

a=0.8439cos1.1t

The instant velocity is the integral of the acceleration:

\displaystyle v(t)=\int_{t_o}^{t_1}a.dt

\displaystyle v(t)=\int_{0}^{1.5}0.8439cos1.1t.dt

Integrating

\displaystyle v(1.5)=0.7672sin1.1t \left |_0^{1.5}

\displaystyle v(1.5)=0.7672(sin1.1\cdot 1.5-sin1.1\cdot 0)

\boxed{v(1.5)=0.7648\ m/s}

A region of space in which a test charge experiences a force is referred to as
Alecsey [184]

Answer: The correct answer is- Field.

Explanation -

The modified space around a charged particle is known as electric field.

The strength of electric field at a point is calculated as the force experienced by a unit test charge present at that point.


Thus, a region of space in which a test charge experiences a force is referred to as Field.

A steel cable with Cross Sectional Area 3.00cm² has an elastic limit of 2.40 x 10^8pascals. Find the maximum upward acceleration
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Stress = F / A       force per unit area

A = 3.00 cm^2 = 3 E-4  m^2

F = 2.4E8 N/m^2 * 3E-4 m^2 = 7.2E4 N    max force applied

F/3 = 2.4E4 N  if force not to exceed limit   (= f)

f = M a

a = 2.4 E4 N / 1.2 E3 kg = 20 m / s^2      about 2 g
