Because a law is proven, a theory is just an explanation that may not be correct.

Notice the difference?:

Theory is a debatable idea.

An law is accepted also can be a proven fact

If you think about it if a law was ever a theory do you think anyone would follow it?
My opinion is NO

To make it easier:
Law is 100% proven
A theory is 0% proven

Answer:

The charge flows in coulombs is

$dq=1.843x10^{-5}C$

Explanation:

The current magnitude of current is given by the resistance and the induced Emf as:

$I=N*\frac{dF}{Rdt}$

$\frac{dq}{dt}=\frac{dF}{Rdt}=dq=N*\frac{dF}{R}$

$dq=\frac{N*\beta*A*(Cos(\alpha_f)-Cos(\alpha_i}{R}$

$N=1300$ , $\beta=0.703$ , $A=\pi*r^2=\pi*0.10^2=0.01\pi m^2$ , $R=99.4+202=301.4$ Ω

$\alpha_f=14.6$ , $\alpha_i=165.4$

Replacing :

$dq=\frac{1300*0.703x10^{-4}*0.01\pi*(0.9667-(-0.9667))}{202+99.4}$

$dq=1.843x10^{-5}C$

Which is a charcharacteristic of all ions?

ankoles [38]

An ion is created by the transfer of electrons. The metals give away the elections and become positively charged. The non - metals take on electrons.

Balance.

So an ion is any atom that either gives away or takes on electrons.

Determine the approximate force (N) used to pull a sled up a 400 m hill using 1900 J of work.

Sergeu [11.5K]

The work done to pull the sled up to the hill is given by
$W=Fd$
where
F is the intensity of the force
d is the distance where the force is applied.

In our problem, the work done is $W=1900 J$ and the distance through which the force is applied is $d=400 m$ , so we can calculate the average force by re-arranging the previous equation and by using these data:
$F= \frac{W}{d}= \frac{1900 J}{400 m} = 4.75 N \sim 5 N$

A pendulum has 711 J of potential energy at the highest point of its swing. How much kinetic energy will it have at the bottom o

Anika [276]

According to law of conservation of energy,
Energy can neither be constructed nor be destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another.

At the highest point of the pendulum(point b), pendulum is associated with potential energy only and no kinetic energy.
Therefore total energy at point b = potential energy = 711 J.... i

At the bottom most point(point a), pendulum is associated only with kinetic energy and no potential energy.
Therefore total energy at point a = kinetic energy ---- ii
From i and ii,
Kinetic energy = potential energy = 711 J.(Conserving energy)

Hence kinetic energy at the bottom most point is 711 J.
Hope this helps!!
