Why can't theories become laws?

Physics
1 answer:
shtirl [24]3 years ago
7 0

Since each serves a different purpose, theories cannot become laws. Explaining how or why a natural phenomenon occurs is what the set of ideas called theories do. On the other hand, mathematical relationships that describes what happens are what is done by laws.

 

Let me show an example that illustrates the points. Describing what happens in the natural world are done by the mathematical formulas called the Gas Laws. In this example, it would show that by using the Gas Laws, I will be able to predict with great accuracy the pressure if I double the temperature of a sealed gas. This idea is a law since the relationship is mathematical and it tells us what will happen.

 

<span>On the other hand, in order to explain why gases behave like the way they do, we must use the kinetic molecular theory.</span>

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

:)

Explanation:

The strength of the gravitational force between two objects depends on two factors, mass and distance. the force of gravity the masses exert on each other. If one of the masses is doubled, the force of gravity between the objects is doubled. increases, the force of gravity decreases.

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

v=53.3m/s

Explanation:

Ek=1/2mv²

7.81×10⁴=1/2×55.0v²

v= the square root of 7.81×10⁴/0.5×55.0

v=53.3m/s
