Which statement correctly explains scientific theories?

Physics
2 answers:
Crank3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Scientific theories attempt to explain why certain events occur in the natural world.

Explanation:

A scientific theory is a set of concepts, abstractions of observable phenomena and quantifiable properties. It includes scientific laws, which express the relationships between the observations of the concepts and is verified in accordance with the scientific method.

Scientific theory is the most rigorous and complete form of knowledge. This definition is very different from the common use of the word "theory", which refers to something without support or an assumption.

<span>Scientific theories are tested and proven over time; they are then considered scientific laws.

Sometimes however, they are proven wrong, and so they do not become laws

hope this helps</span>

Hi there!

The Legislative Branch of government includes the House of Representatives and the Senate. This branch makes laws. Its powers include passing laws, originating spending bills (House), impeaching government officials (Senate), and approving treaties (Senate).

Hope this helps!! :)

A film of soapy water on top of a plastic cutting board has a thickness of 255 nm. What wavelength and color is most strongly re
Alona [7]

Answer:

the reflected wavelength is lano = 4.55 10⁻⁷ m which corresponds to the blue color

Explanation:

This is a case of reflection interference, we must be careful

* There is a 180º phase change when light passes from the air to the soap film (n = 1,339), but there is no phase change when passing from the pomp to the plastic (n = 1.3)

* the wavelength within the film is modulated by the refractive index

     λₙ =  λ₀ / n

if we consider these relationships the condition for constructive interference is

     2 t = (m + ½)  λₙ

     2t = (m + ½)  λ₀ / n

      λ₀ = 2t n / (m + ½)

we substitute the values

      λ₀= 2 255 10⁻⁹ 1,339 / (m + ½)

      λ₀  = 6.829 10⁻⁷ (m + ½)

let's calculate the wavelength for various interference orders

m = 0

       λ₀ = 6.829 10⁻⁷/ ( 0 +   ½ )

       λ₀ = 13.6 10⁻⁷

       it is not visible

m = 1

      λ₀ = 6,829 10⁻⁷/ (1 + ½)

       λ₀ = 4.55 10⁻⁷

      color blue

m = 2

      λ₀ = 6.829 10⁻⁷ / (2 + ½)

      λ₀ = 2,7 10⁻⁷

   it is not visible

therefore the reflected wavelength is lano = 4.55 10⁻⁷ m which corresponds to the blue color

Water is leaking out of an inverted conical tank at a rate of 10,500 cm3/min at the same time that water is being pumped into th
satela [25.4K]

The tank has a volume of \dfrac\pi3R^2H, where H=6\,\rm m is its height and R=\dfrac d2=2\,\rm m is its radius.

At any point, the water filling the tank and the tank itself form a pair of similar triangles (see the attached picture) from which we obtain the following relationship:

\dfrac26=\dfrac rh\implies r=\dfrac h3

The volume of water in the tank at any given time is

V=\dfrac\pi3r^2h

and can be expressed as a function of the water level alone:

V=\dfrac\pi3\left(\frac h3\right)^2h=\dfrac\pi{27}h^3

Implicity differentiating both sides with respect to time t gives

\dfrac{\mathrm dV}{\mathrm dt}=\dfrac\pi9h^2\,\dfrac{\mathrm dh}{\mathrm dt}

We're told the water level rises at a rate of \dfrac{\mathrm dh}{\mathrm dt}=20\,\frac{\rm cm}{\rm min} at the time when the water level is h=2\,\mathrm m=200\,\mathrm{cm}, so the net change in the volume of water \dfrac{\mathrm dV}{\mathrm dt} can be computed:

\dfrac{\mathrm dV}{\mathrm dt}=\dfrac\pi9(200\,\mathrm{cm})^2\left(20\,\dfrac{\rm cm}{\rm min}\right)=\dfrac{800,000\pi}9\,\dfrac{\mathrm{cm}^3}{\rm min}

The net rate of change in volume is the difference between the rate at which water is pumped into the tank and the rate at which it is leaking out:

\dfrac{\mathrm dV}{\mathrm dt}=(\text{rate in})-(\text{rate out})

We're told the water is leaking out at a rate of 10,500\,\frac{\mathrm{cm}^3}{\rm min}, so we find the rate at which it's being pumped in to be

\dfrac{800,000\pi}9\,\dfrac{\mathrm{cm}^3}{\rm min}=(\text{rate in})-10,500\,\dfrac{\mathrm{cm}^3}{\rm min}

\implies\text{rate in}\approx289,753\,\dfrac{\mathrm{cm}^3}{\rm min}
