Science is open to change because scientists agree that there are no absolute truths, only the best explanations for the data
there are specifically two cases when science can change: -new data is discovered (for example new skeleton makes us revise the known history of homo species)
-a new model is proposed that fits the data better (such as the heliocentric model of Copernicus)

A theme park creates a new kind of water wave pool with large waves caused by constructive interference. There are two wave gene
melomori [17]

Answer:

10.0 m

Explanation:

Since there is no amplitude at the point of the swimmer, we have destructive interference.

So, the path difference ΔL = L₂ - L₁ where L₁ = swimmer's shorter distance from one generator = 9.0 m and L₂ = swimmer's longer distance from the other generator = 14.0 m.  ΔL = 14.0 m - 9.0 m = 5.0 m

Also, since we have destructive interference, ΔL = (n + 1/2)λ where n = number of wavelengths and λ = wavelength of waves

For maximum wavelength, n = 0

So, ΔL = (n + 1/2)λ

ΔL = (0 + 1/2)λ

ΔL = λ/2

λ/2 = ΔL

λ = 2ΔL

λ = 2 × 5.0 m

λ = 10.0 m

So,  the longest wavelength that will produce this interference pattern is λ = 10.0 m

How is lithium fluoride and lithium chloride similar?
Blababa [14]

Answer:

Although odorless, lithium fluoride has a bitter-saline taste. Its structure is analogous to that of sodium chloride, but it is much less soluble in water. It is mainly used as a component of molten salts.

Find the x-component of this
Sholpan [36]

Answer: 74.8m

Explanation:

We have the vector defined by:

r = 101m

θ = 42.2°

When we want to write this as rectangular components, we have that:

x = r*cos(θ)

y = t*sin(θ)

this is because we can construct a triangle rectangle, where the module of the vector is the hypotenuse, the x component is the adjacent cathetus and the y component is the opposite cathetus.

Then, here we have that the x component is

x = 101m*cos(42.2°) = 74.8m

A weather balloon is inflated to a volume of 29.1 L at a pressure of 733 mmHg and a temperature of 24.7 ∘C. The balloon rises in
goblinko [34]

Answer:

volume balloon  5.06 10⁻² m³

Explanation:

The balloon is inflated with air, which in the first instance behaves like an ideal gas, which has as an equation

    PV = n R T

Where R is the ideal gas constant that is worth 8.314 J / mol K.

Let's use the initial data to calculate the number of moles of gas in the balloon that remains constant, but first we reduce all quantities to the SI system

    V1 = 29.1 L (1 m2 / 1000 L) = 29.1 10⁻³ m³

    P1 = 733 mmHg (1 105 Pa / 760 mmHg) = 0.964 10⁵ Pa

    T1 = 24.7 + 273.15 = 297.85K

    P2 = 365 mmHg (1 105 Pa / 760 mmHg) = 0.480 10⁵ Pa

    T2 = -14.5 +273.15 = 258.65K

Let's clear and calculate the number of moles

    n = P V / R T

    n = P1 V1 / R T1

    n = 0.964 10 5 29.1 10⁻³ / (8.314 297.85)

    n = 1.13 moles

With the data of the second part we clear the volume and calculate

   V = n R T / P

   V2 = n R T2 / P2

   V2 = 1.13 8.314 258.65 /0.480 10⁵

   V2 = 5.062 10⁻² m³
