I just had this question and I got it wrong but here's what is says to put:  Democritus' ideas were not supported by evidence. Dalton's theory was the first scientific theory because it relied on scientific investigative processes. Dalton's theory was supported by evidence and repeated investigation.

Democritus *suggested* the existence of the atom, that everything was made up of tiny particles, but wasn't really able to get more specific than that. Dalton also theorized that everything was made up of indivisible particles, but went further basing his theory on actual scientific principles, such as the Law of Conservation of Mass and the Law of Constant Composition. He also said that atoms weren't created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, just rearranged.  There's more to it than that, but basically, Dalton's theory was based more on science while Democritus' theory was too general to be useful in chemical situations.

. A current through a horizontal powerline flows in west to east direction. What is the direction of magnetic field at a point,
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

c) parallel to the wire

Explanation:

The concept is based on right-hand thumb rule that states that the thumb points in the direction of the current and the fingers will represent the direction of the lines of magnetic force.

As the current is moving in the east-west direction. Using the right-hand thumb rule, the direction of the magnetic field at a point below the wire is from north to south. So, when viewed from the west end, the magnetic field at a point will be anti- clockwise.

Hence, the correct answer is "b) anti- clockwise".

A sample of water is heated from 60.0 °C to 75.0°C by the addition of 140 j of
kupik [55]

Mass of the water : 2.23 g

<h3>Furter explanation</h3>

Heat

Q = m.c.Δt

m= mass, g

c = heat capacity, for water : 4.18 J/g° C.

ΔT = temperature

Q= 140 J

Δt = 75 - 60 = 15

mass of the water :

\tt m=\dfrac{Q}{c.\Delta T}=\dfrac{140}{4.18\times 15}=2.23~g
