Do changes in scientific knowledge occur often?

Answer:

Yes, changes in scientific knowledge occur often

Explanation:

Scientific knowledge is always under several tests to see if new variables for a specific phenomenon fit with the earlier prediction from a specific model (e.g theories), so it is very common that changes in what is known occur with certain frequency.  

A look in the history of science gives several examples of this changes. For example, in the field of physical particles there was a time when it was believed that protons and neutrons were fundamental particles. Then, further studies and experiments demonstrated the presence of ups and downs¹ inside protons and neutrons. Even earlier than that, it was thought that the atom was indivisible, but experiments like the cathode ray showed how smaller particles (electrons) exist inside of it.

Another example is the theory of relativity, in which every of its predictions has been proved in a extend range of scenarios (for example the case of gravitational waves²).  

¹Ups and downs: Fundamental particles.

²Gravitational Waves: They are ripples in the curvature of space-time, created by the collision or explosion of object with high masses.

Scientific knowledge changes with the growth of accumulated knowledge, technology, and greater experimentation. With further experimentation and more technology allowing more detailed experimentation, scientific knowledge constantly grows and changes.

A wire of cross-sectional area 5.00 106 m2 has a resistance of 1.75 O. What is the resistance of a wire of the same material and
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

the resistance of the second wire is 1 ohm.

Explanation:

Given;

cross sectional area of the first wire, A₁ = 5.00 x 10⁶ m²

resistance of the first wire, R₁ = 1.75 ohms

cross sectional area of the second wire, A₂ = 8.75 x 10⁶ m²

resistance of the second wire, R₂ = ?

The resistance of a wire is given as;

R ∝ \frac{L}{A}

Since the length of the two wires is constant

R₁A₁ = R₂A₂

R_2 = \frac{R_1A_1}{A_2} \\\\R_2 = \frac{1.75\  \times \ 5.00\times 10^6}{8.75\times 10^6} \\\\R_2 = 1 \ ohm

Therefore, the resistance of the second wire is 1 ohm.
