What are scientific theories?

1 answer:

8 0

A scientific theory is an explanation of an aspect of the natural world that can be repeatedly tested and verified in accordance with the scientific method, using accepted protocols of observation, measurement, and evaluation of results. Where possible, theories are tested under controlled conditions in an experiment.

A projectile is launched with an initial velocity of (40 m/s), at an angle of (30°) above

zlopas [31]

Answer:

330.5 m

Explanation:

In this case, the object is launched horizontally at 30° with an initial velocity of 40 m/s .

The maximum height will be calculated as;

$h=\frac{v^2_isin^2\alpha }{2g}$

where ∝ is the angle of launch = 30°

vi= initial launch velocity = 40 m/s

g= 10 m/s²

h= 40²*sin²40° / 2*10

h={1600*0.4132 }/ 20

h= 661.1/2 = 330.5 m

A certain capacitor, in series with a resistor, is being charged. At the end of 10 ms its charge is half the final value. The ti

vichka [17]

To solve this problem we will apply the expression of charge per unit of time in a capacitor with a given resistance. Mathematically said expression is given as

$q(t) = e^{-\frac{t}{(R*C)}}$

Here,

q = Charge

t = Time

R = Resistance

C = Capacitance

When the charge reach its half value it has passed 10ms, then the equation is,

$\frac{1}{2}*q_{final} = e^{-\frac{0.01}{(R*C)}}$

$Ln(\frac{1}{2}) = -\frac{0.01}{RC}$

$- RC = \frac{0.01}{Ln(1/2)}$

$RC = 0.014s$

We know that RC is equal to the time constant, then

$T = RC = 0.014s = 14ms$

Therefore the time constant for the process is about 14ms

A tourist being chased by an angry bear is running in a straight line toward his car at a speed of 3.9 m/s. The car is a distanc

sammy [17]

If it takes $t$ seconds to reach the car, then the distance $d$ is $3.9t$ .

The bear's distance from the tourist's starting point is
$6t-23$

For maximum $d$ , we set the equations equal to each other:
$3.9t=6t-23$
$\Rightarrow -2.1t=-23$
$\Rightarrow t=\frac{23}{2.1}$
so the distance is
$d=3.9(\frac{23}{2.1})\approx42.741\ m$
