Which statement describes a scientific theory?

Physics
1 answer:
Mekhanik [1.2K]3 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.

a 45 kg ice skater initially skating at a velocity of 3 m/s speeds up to a velocity of 5 m/s. calculate the difference in the ma
ad-work [718]

Answer: 90 kgm/s

Explanation:

The momentum (linear momentum) p is given by the following equation:

p=m.V

Where:

m=45 kg is the mass of the skater

V is the velocity

In this situation the skater has two values of momentum:

Initial momentum: p_{1}=m.V_{1}

Final momentum: p_{2}=m.V_{2}

Where:

V_{1}=3 m/s

V_{1}=5 m/s

So, if we want to calculate the difference in the magnitude of the skater's momentum, we have to write the following equation(assuming the mass of the skater remains constant):

p=p_{2}-p_{1}=m.V_{2}-m.V_{1}

p=m(V_{2}-V_{1})

p=45 kg(5 m/s - 3 m/s)

Finally:

p=90 kgm/s

A bucket of water of mass 10 kg is pulled at constant velocity up to a platform 30 meters above the ground. This takes 10 minute
Rudik [331]

Answer:

W = 2352 J

Explanation:

Given that:

  • mass of the bucket, M = 10 kg
  • velocity of pulling the bucket, v = 3m.min^{-1}
  • height of the platform, h = 30 m
  • time taken, t = 10 min
  • rate of loss of water-mass, m = 0.4 kg.min^{-1}

Here, according to the given situation the bucket moves at the rate,

v=3 m.min^{-1}

The mass varies with the time as,

M=(10-0.4t) kg

Consider the time interval between t and t + ∆t. During this time the bucket moves a distance

∆x =  3∆t meters

So, during this interval change in work done,

∆W = m.g∆x

<u>For work calculation:</u>

W=\int_{0}^{10} [(10-0.4t).g\times 3] dt

W= 3\times 9.8\times [10t-\frac{0.4t^{2}}{2}]^{10}_{0}

W= 2352 J

A 1500 kg tractor pulls a 750 kg trailer north and applies a 2250 N force on it. What is the force on the tractor?
Masja [62]

Answer:

law of Action and Reaction     F = 2250 N

Explanation:

The tractor and the trailer are two bodies that interact, therefore, by the law of Action and Reaction, the force that one applies on the other is equal to the force that the second body (trailer) applies on the first (tractor), but with opposite direction

          F = 2250 N

directed from trailer to tractor
