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>

Humans evolved in Earth's atmosphere, therefore the pressures interior to the body are relatively close to atmospheric pressure.
harina [27]

Answer:

194516 sheets

Explanation:

So the area of each sheet of paper is:

A = 0.216 * 0.279 = 0.060264 square meters

For the paper sheet to make the same effect as the atmospheric pressure P, then the gravity F from the paper sheet must be

F = AP = 0.060264 * 101325 = 6106 N

Let g = 9.81 m/s2, then the mass of paper needed to generate that gravity is

m = F/g = 6106 / 9.81 = 622.4 kg

If each sheet has a mass of 0.0032 kg, then the total number of sheets to have that much mass is

622.4 / 0.0032 = 194516 sheets

Inductors in series. Two inductors L1 = 1.05 H and L2 = 2.07 H are connected in series and are separated by a large distance so
hodyreva [135]

The inductance of several inductors in series is the sum of all the individuals ... just like for resistors.

a). With 1.05H and 2.07H in series, the equivalent total inductance is <em>3.12H</em> , provided the inductors can't influence each other with their magnetic fields.

b). If you had 30 identical inductors in series, each with inductance of 3.03H, AND none of them could influence any other ones with their magnetic fields, their combined equivalent inductance would be

(30) · (3.03H) = <em>90.9 H</em> .

in an automobile crash, a vehicle that was stopped at a red light is rear-ended by another vehicle. The vehicles have the same m
baherus [9]

The initial speed of the vehicle before the collision is 8 m/s.

  • Let the mass of the vehicle = m
  • Let the initial speed of the vehicle stopped = u
  • The initial speed of the vehicle parked at the red light = 0

<h3>Principle of conservation of linear momentum</h3>
  • The initial speed of the vehicle before the collision is calculated by applying principle of conservation of linear momentum as follows;

m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = v(m_1 + m_2)\\\\mu + m(0) = 4(m+ m)\\\\mu = 4(2m)\\\\mu = 8m\\\\u = 8 \ m/s

Thus, the initial speed of the vehicle before the collision is 8 m/s.
