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 is worse, failing or never trying?
guapka [62]
Personally I feel that never trying is worse because at least when you fail you know what you need to improve on and that way you at least get some closure. Where as when you never try it you would never know whether or not you were able to do it

A simple series circuit consists of a 120 Ω resistor, a 21.0 V battery, a switch, and a 3.50 pF parallel-plate capacitor (initia
slega [8]

Answer

Integral EdA = Q/εo =C*Vc(t)/εo = 3.5e-12*21/εo = 4.74 V∙m <----- A)

Vc(t) = 21(1-e^-t/RC) because an uncharged capacitor is modeled as a short.

ic(t) = (21/120)e^-t/RC -----> ic(0) = 21/120 = 0.175A <----- B)

Q(0.5ns) = CVc(0.5ns) = 2e-12*21*(1-e^-t/RC) = 30.7pC

30.7pC/εo = 3.47 V∙m <----- C)

ic(0.5ns) = 29.7ma <----- D)

What is a possible explination for why the giant ice caps that covered a supercontinent in the paleozoic era melted?
Thepotemich [5.8K]
The Paleozoic era spanned from the Cambrian to the Permian and ended with a mass extinction at the end of the Permian. Geologists are still unsure of the cause but the theories include a meteorite impact or a massive volcanic event in Siberia or a combination of both. This could be a possible cause of the melting of the late Paleozoic ice sheets.

Determine the wavelength of incident electromagnetic radiation required to cause an electron transition from the n = 5 to the n
ollegr [7]
The correct answer is: wavelength = 4562 nm

Explanation:

Rydberg's formula is given as:
\frac{1}{\lambda} = R[ \frac{1}{n_1^2}  - \frac{1}{n_2^2} ] --- (1)

Where 
R = Rydberg's constant = 1.096 * 10^7 per meter
n_1 = 5
n_2 = 7

λ = Wavelength

Plug in the values in (1):

(1)=> \frac{1}{\lambda} = (1.096 * 10^7)[ \frac{1}{5^2} - \frac{1}{7^2} ]

\frac{1}{\lambda} = (1.096 * 10^7)[ 0.04 - 0.020 ] \\ \lambda =  \frac{1}{(1.096 * 10^7)[0.020 ]} \\ \lambda = 4562 nm

1. Compare the speed that light waves travel in air to the speed that sound waves travel in the air. How many times faster do li
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

895522 times faster.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Speed of sound in air (v) = 335 m/s

Speed of light in air (c) = 3×10⁸ m/s

How many times faster =.?

To obtain how many times faster light travels in air than sound, do the following

c : v => 3×10⁸ : 335

c/v = 3×10⁸ / 335

c/v = 895522

Cross multiply

c = 895522 × v

From the illustrations made above, we can see that the speed of the light in air (c) is 895522 times the speed of sound in air.

Thus, light travels 895522 times faster than sound in air.
