The following are the differences between scientific theory and scientific law:  

Scientific Theory: A scientific theory is an elaboration of a perspective of the physical environment that can be frequently experimented and validated in accordance with the experimental arrangement, using affirmed obligations of observation, analysis, and evaluation of effects. In short, it may be said that scientific theory is based on researches, analyses, and rationalizing.

Scientific Law: the scientific laws are the records that explain or prophesy a variety of natural happenings. In other words, every scientific law is a description based on revolved laboratory measurements that illustrate some features of the World. The scientific laws are actually the summary that has been already proven.

A scientific law is absolute, it cannot be proven wrong. A scientific theory is like a belief, it has been proven but can also be argued or disproven.

Which of the following is not true about the Global Positioning Systems (GPS)?
Mrrafil [7]

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Global Positioning Systems (GPS) is a system which uses a network of satellites to construct maps. So, that it would be easy to trace location of a person, or to reach over a certain place.

It helps an individual by showing the route of destination wherever he/she wants to reach along with the total time to reach over the place.

Thus, GPS can determine the elevation of a given area and also it can determine latitude and longitude of a given area. As each GPS satellite broadcasts with a high power, narrow bandwidth, down link signal which can be received by our small hand held receiver antenna called mobile phone.

A GPS cannot determine the composition of soil on mountain ranges.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, GPS can determine the composition of soil on mountain ranges is not true about the Global Positioning Systems (GPS).

A baseball has a momentum of 6.0 kg.m/s south and mass of 0.15kg. What’s the baseballs velocity?
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

<em>v=40 m/s south</em>

Explanation:

<u>Momentum </u>

It's a physical magnitude that measures the product of the mass by the velocity of a particle. Its units in the International System is kg.m/s and the formula is

p=m.v

Where m is the mass and v the velocity of the particle. If we wanted to solve for v, we have

\displaystyle v=\frac{p}{m}

The baseball has a momentum of 6.0 kg.m/s south and mass of 0.15kg, thus

\displaystyle v=\frac{6}{0.15}=40\ m/s

The velocity is directed to the south

If 2000 kg cannon fires 2 kg projectile having muzzle velocity 200 m/s then the KINETIC ENERGY of the CANNON will be ("E4" means
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

M V = m v        conservation of momentum (Caps-cannon  Small-projectile)

V = m / M * V = 2 / 2000 * 200 m/s = .2 m/s    recoil velocity of cannon

KE = 1/2 M V^2 = 2000 / 2 kg * (.2 m/s)^2  = 40 kg m^2/s^2 = 40 J
