Which statement describes a scientific theory?

Physics
1 answer:
Mekhanik [1.2K]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

A theory changes based on new observations and testing.

Explanation:

The first statement here refers to a law. A law states how something behaves without providing an explanation to such observations.

Scientific theories are explanation into a phenomenon. They give reasons to why certain patterns are noticeable.

They are based on multiple tests and validation of a hypothesis. By so doing, they can be changed based on new observations and testing.

Derive an expression for the acceleration of the car. Express your answer in terms of D and vt Determine the time at which the s
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

V(car) = V(truck) at t = Dt/2

acceleration = v(car) = D/t^2

Explanation:

acceleration = v(car) = D/t^2

Since the average velocities must be the same, the car's final velocity must be twice the trunk velocity assuming the car start with zero velocity, since acceleration remain the same throughout the journey velocities at half-time point must be equal.

Archimedes supposedly was asked to determine whether a crown made for the king consisted of pure gold (density of gold is 19.3 ×
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

First, we can find the mass of the object in air

Since W = mg

m = W/g = (8.9)/(9.8) = 0.908 kg

Then, by Archimedes principle, we can find its volume. The volume is found by the weight of the water displaced by the formula

W = Vρg

The Weight is the difference in scale readings. The density of water is 1000 kg/m3

(8.9- 7.8) = V(1000)(9.8)

Thus V = 1 X 10-4 m3

Then, since density is mass / volume

ρ = 0.908/1 X 10-4

ρ = 8254 kg/m3 which is 8 X 103 kg/m3

The density of gold is 19.3 X 103 kg/m3

Since those densities are not the same, the crown is either hollow or not pure gold

Pls help A ball rolls horizontally off a 100-meter-tall cliff at 40 meters per second. How far does the ball travel horizontally
svet-max [94.6K]

First find the time it takes for the ball to reach the ground using the vertical component of its position vector:

y=y_0+v_{0y}t+\dfrac12a_yt^2

\implies0=100\,\mathrm m+\dfrac12\left(-9.8\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t^2

\implies t=4.52\,\mathrm s

Meanwhile, the horizontal component of the ball's position vector is

x=x_0+v_{0x}t+\dfrac12a_xt^2

\implies x=\left(40\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)t

After about 4.52 s, the ball has traveled a horizontal distance of

x=\left(40\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)(4.52\,\mathrm s)=180.8\,\mathrm m

which you would round to 200 m, so the answer is B.

A sphere of radius 0.03m has a point charge of q= 7.6 micro C located at it’s centre. Find the electric flux through it?
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

The electric flux through the sphere is 8.58 *10^{5} \frac{Nm^2}{C}

Explanation:

Given

Radius,\ r = 0.03m\\Charge,\ q =7.6\µC

Required

Find the electric flux

Electric flux is calculated using the following formula;

Ф = q/ε

Where ε is the electric constant permitivitty

ε = 8.8542 * 10^{-12}

Substitute ε = 8.8542 * 10^{-12} and q =7.6\µC; The formula becomes

Ф = \frac{7.6\µC}{8.8542 * 10^{-12}}

Ф = \frac{7.6 * 10^{-6}}{8.8542 * 10^{-12}}

Ф = \frac{7.6}{8.8542} *\frac{10^{-6}}{10^{-12}}

Ф = \frac{7.6}{8.8542} *10^{12-6}}

Ф = 0.85834970974 *10^{12-6}}

Ф = 0.85834970974 *10^{6}}

Ф = 8.5834970974 *10^{5}}

Ф = 8.58 *10^{5} \frac{Nm^2}{C}

Hence, the electric flux through the sphere is 8.58 *10^{5} \frac{Nm^2}{C}
