Not necessarily, it just means that the Scientific theory was not complete and needs additional information, research, and ideas.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Scientific theories can change over time as new information is discovered. If a scientific theory change this doesn't mean that it was not a good theory, to begin with. What means is that science is permanently researching for new and better ways to do things or to understand natural phenomena.

With discoveries, science can apply new methods of study and get relevant and new information that later could be changed if something new is discovered. That is a good part of science. that is always researching to innovate.

1.Predict the frequency of a tuning fork that emits a sound with a wavelength of 0.385 m.
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

1.) Frequency F = 890.9 Hz

2.) Wavelength (λ) = 0.893 m

Explanation:

1.) Given that the wavelength = 0.385m

The speed of sound = 343 m / s

To predict the frequency, let us use the formula V = F λ

Where (λ) = wavelength = 0.385m

343 = F × 0.385

F = 343/0.385

F = 890.9 Hz

2.) Given that the frequency = 384Hz

Using the formula again

V = F λ

λ = V/F

Wavelength (λ) = 343/384

Wavelength (λ) = 0.893 m

The two questions can be solved with the use of formula

Riley is cleaning his room(a once a year activity) and pulls the Hoover with a force of 8 N a total distance of 20 metres. How m
Radda [10]

Answer:

160J

Explanation:

Given force = 8N and total distance = 20 meters

Workdone = force x distance

= 8 x 20

= 160J

Therefore, workdone by Riley in pulling the hoover is 160J

A 0.3-kg object connected to a light spring with a force constant of 19.3 N/m oscillates on a frictionless horizontal surface. A
Ghella [55]

The total work <em>W</em> done by the spring on the object as it pushes the object from 6 cm from equilibrium to 1.9 cm from equilibrium is

<em>W</em> = 1/2 (19.3 N/m) ((0.060 m)² - (0.019 m)²) ≈ 0.031 J

That is,

• the spring would perform 1/2 (19.3 N/m) (0.060 m)² ≈ 0.035 J by pushing the object from the 6 cm position to the equilibrium point

• the spring would perform 1/2 (19.3 N/m) (0.019 m)² ≈ 0.0035 J by pushing the object from the 1.9 cm position to equilbrium

so the work done in pushing the object from the 6 cm position to the 1.9 cm position is the difference between these.

By the work-energy theorem,

<em>W</em> = ∆<em>K</em> = <em>K</em>

where <em>K</em> is the kinetic energy of the object at the 1.9 cm position. Initial kinetic energy is zero because the object starts at rest. So

<em>W</em> = 1/2 <em>mv</em> ²

where <em>m</em> is the mass of the object and <em>v</em> is the speed you want to find. Solving for <em>v</em>, you get

<em>v</em> = √(2<em>W</em>/<em>m</em>) ≈ 0.46 m/s

A rural mail carrier logged the mileage on the odometer at the start of the mail route as 31,500 miles. After 6.5 hours, the car
dusya [7]

Answer:32.77\ mi/hr

Explanation:

Given

Initially Reading on the odometer is 31,500\ miles

Final reading on the odometer is 31,713\ miles

Time taken is t=6.5\ hr

average velocity =\dfrac{\text{Displacement}}{\text{time}}

v_{avg}=\dfrac{31713-31500}{6.5}

v_{avg}=\dfrac{213}{6.5}

v_{avg}=32.77\ mi/hr

Thus the average velocity of mail truck is 32.77\ mi/hr
