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>

One speaker generates sound waves with amplitude A.
raketka [301]

Answer:

iv) It is 9x bigger than before

Explanation:

As the amplitudes of the new speakers add directly with the original one, taking into account the phase that they have, the composed amplitude of the sound wave is as follows:

At = A + 4A -2A = 3 A

The intensity of the wave, assuming it propagates evenly in all directions, is constant at a given distance from the source, and can be expressed as follows:

I = P/A

where P= Power of the wave source, A= Area (for a point source, is equal to the surface area of a sphere of radius r, where is r is the distance to the source along a straight line)

For a sinusoidal wave, the power is proportional to the square of the amplitude, so the intensity is proportional to the square of the amplitude also.

If the amplitude changes increasing three times, the change in intensity will be proportional to the square of the change in amplitude, i.e., it will be 9 times bigger.

So, the statement iv) is the right one.

Can someone help pleaseeee
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

Motion with constant velocity of magnitude 1 m/s (uniform motion) for 4 seconds in a positive direction and then for 2 seconds uniform motion with constant velocity of magnitude 3 m/s in reverse direction .

Explanation:

The graph shows a constant velocity of 1 m/s for 4 seconds in the positive direction. After that, between 4 seconds and 6 seconds, the object reverses its motion with constant velocity of magnitude 3m/s.
