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 shopper walks westward 2.8 meters in the first 5 minutes and then eastward 9.2 meters in the next 10 minutes. What is the shop

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

12m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance walked westward = 2.8m

Time of travel = 5min

Distance walked eastward = 9.2m

Time of travel = 10min

Unknown:

The total shopper's travel distance = ?

Solution:

Total distance traveled is the sum of the length of path covered by a body. It is a scalar quantity.

Total distance = distance walked westward + distance walked eastward

Total distance = 2.8m + 9.2m = 12m

Is the 3 in the molecule a coefficient, subscript, or element? 3H₂O₂

JulijaS [17]

<span>coefficient

Let's look at the 3 possibilities and see what they are for </span>3H₂O₂ coefficient - This is used to indicate that multiple molecules are used for the formula. In 3H₂O₂ that indicates that we are talking about 3 molecules of H₂O₂ subscript - This is a small number set in a smaller font and placed low to the elements. It indicates the number of each type of atom in the compound. For the formula 3H₂O₂ there are 2 subscripts. Both of them being the number "2" set small and low just after the letters H and O. Those subscripts indicate that there are 2 hydrogen and 2 oxygen atoms per molecule. element - This is the abbreviation for the elements used in the compound. In <span>3H₂O₂</span> there are 2 different elements. H to indicate hydrogen, and O to indicate oxygen.

Which formulas have been correctly rearranged to solve for radius? Check all that apply. r = GM central/v^2 r =fcm/v^2 r =ac/v^2

jek_recluse [69]

The orbital radius is: $r=\frac{GM}{v^2}$

Explanation:

The problem is asking to find the radius of the orbit of a satellite around a planet, given the orbital speed of the satellite.

For a satellite in orbit around a planet, the gravitational force provides the required centripetal force to keep it in circular motion, therefore we can write:

$\frac{GMm}{r^2}=m\frac{v^2}{r}$
