Describe the difference between a scientific law and a scientific theory

Physics

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.

The force required to stretch a Hooke’s-law
Setler [38]

I think this is correct, but I am not entirely certain.

Find the force constant of the spring:

F = - KX

(0 - 62.4) = -K(0.172m)

-362.791 = -K

362.791 N/m = K


Find the work done in stretching the spring:

W = (1/2)KX

W = (1/2)(362.791)(0.172m)

W = 31.2 J

Pluto has been reassigned and is now a dwarf planet. Why did scientists think this reassignment was necessary? If you were a sci
kap26 [50]

Answer:

Explanation:

we humans have our own ify classification for celestial objects, most people are saddened that pluto is not a planet anymore altho it hasn't changed at all.

scientist say that if an object is going to be considered a planet it must fill in these three checkboxes:

You must be spherical, you must orbit a star, and you must have already cleared your path or debris.

Pluto fills in the first two boxes but it does orbit in the keyperbelt and there are 5 other objects just like it. this is why pluto has been dubbed a dwarf planet.

fredd [130]

Answer:

The correct option is;

A. The potential energy between both like charges and like poles increases as they move closer together

Explanation:

Here we have that when we move the like poles of two bar magnets close to each other, there is an increased resistance in the continuing motion, therefore for each extra gap closer achieved, there is an increase in potential energy

Similarly, when two like charges are brought closer together, the potential energy, or the energy available to push the two like charges apart increases charge as the as the charges are brought closer together

Therefore, the correct option is the potential energy between both like charges and like poles increases as they move closer together.

Find the value of currents through each branch
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

the branch currents are as follows:

  top left: I2 = 0.625 A

  middle left: I1 = 2.500 A

  bottom left: I1-I2 = 1.875 A

  top center: I2+I3 = 2.500 A

  bottom center: I2+I3-I1 = 0 A

  right: I3 = 1.875 A

Explanation:

You can write the KVL equations:

Top left loop:

  I2(4) +(I2 +I3)(2) +I1(1) = 10

Bottom left loop:

  (I1-I2)(4) +(I1-I2-I3)(2) +I1(1) = 10

Right loop:

  (I2+I3)(2) +(I2+I3-I1)(2) = 5

In matrix form, the equations are ...

  \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&6&2\\7&-6&-2\\-2&4&4\end{array}\right]\cdot\left[\begin{array}{c}I_1\\I_2\\I_3\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{c}10\\10\\5\end{array}\right]

These equations have the solution ...

  \left[\begin{array}{c}I_1\\I_2\\I_3\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{c}2.500\\0.625\\1.875\end{array}\right]

This means the branch currents are as follows:

  top left: I2 = 0.625 A

  middle left: I1 = 2.500 A

  bottom left: I1-I2 = 1.875 A

  top center: I2+I3 = 2.500 A

  bottom center: I2+I3-I1 = 0 A

  right: I3 = 1.875 A

_____

This can be worked almost in your head by using the superposition theorem. When the 5V source is shorted, the 10V source is supplying (I1) to a circuit that is the 4 Ω and 2 Ω resistors in parallel with their counterparts, and that 2+1 Ω combination in series with 1 Ω for a total of a 4Ω load on the 10 V source. That is, I1 due to the 10V source is 2.5 A, and it is nominally split in half through the upper and lower branches of the circuit. There is no current flowing through the (shorted) 5 V source branch.

When the 10V source is shorted, the 5V source is supplying a 4 +4 Ω branch in parallel with a 2 +2 Ω branch, a total load of 8/3 Ω. This makes the current from that source (I3) be 5/(8/3) = 15/8 = 1.875 A. There is zero current from this source through the 1 Ω resistor.

Nominally, the current from the 5V source splits 2/3 through the 2 Ω branch and 1/3 through the 4 Ω branch.

Using superposition, I2 = I1/2 -I3/3 = (2.5 A/2) -(1/3)(15/8 A) = 0.625 A. This is the same answer as above, without any matrix math.

  (I1, I2, I3) = (2.5 A, 0.625 A, 1.875 A)

__

It helps to be familiar with the formulas for resistors in series and parallel.

A piston-cylinder device initially contains 1.4 kg saturated liquid water at 200oC. Now heat is transferred to the water until t
postnew [5]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of saturated liquid water m=1.4\ kg

at 200^{\circ} specific volume is \nu =0.001157\ m^3\kg(From Table A-4,Saturated water Temperature table)

V_1=m\nu _1

V_1=1.4\times 0.001157

V_1=1.6198\times 10^{-3}\ m^3

Final Volume V_2=4V_1

V_2=4\times (1.6198\times 10^{-3})

V_2=6.4792\times 10^{-3}\ m^3

Specific volume at this stage

\nu _2=\frac{V_2}{m}

\nu _2=\frac{6.4792\times 10^{-3}}{1.4}

\nu _2=0.004628\ m^3/kg

Now we see the value and find the temperature it corresponds to specific volume at vapor stage in the table.

T_2=T_1^{*}+\frac{T_2^{*}-T_1^{*}}{\alpha _2^{*}-\alpha _1^{*}}\times (\alpha _2-\alpha _1^{*})

T_2=370^{\circ}+\frac{373.95-370}{0.003106-0.004953}\times (0.004628-0.004953)

T_2=370.7^{\circ} C
