Explain why a scientific theory cannot became a scientific law

Physics
1 answer:
Maslowich3 years ago
3 0

A common misconception is that scientific theories are rudimentary ideas that will eventually graduate into scientific laws when enough data and evidence have been accumulated. A theory does not change into a scientific law with the accumulation of new or better evidence.

A proton is trapped in a one-dimensional well that is 200 pm wide. What is the ground state energy of the proton, if the potenti
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

E=1.50\times 10^{-18}J

Explanation:

Energy of the one dimensional infinite well,

E=\frac{n^{2}h^{2} }{8mL^{2} }

Given that, L=200 pm\\L=200\times 10^{-12}m

For the ground state n=1,

Therefore energy is,

E=\frac{(6.626\times 10^{-34})^{2}}{8(9.1\times 10^{-31})(200\times 10^{-12}) ^{2} }\\E=1.50\times 10^{-18}J

A shot putter shoots a 7.3kg shot from rest to 14m/s in 1.5s. what was the average power?
sweet [91]

Answer: 477W

Explanation:

Given the following :

Mass (m) = 7.3kg

Initial Velocity (u) = 0

Final velocity (v) = 14m/s

time (t) = 1.5s

Power = workdone (W) / time (t)

The workdone can be calculated as the change in kinetic energy (KE) :

Recall ;

KE = 0.5mv^2

Therefore, change in KE is given by:

0.5mv^2 - 0.5mu^2

Change in KE = 0.5(7.3)(14^2) - 0.5(7.3)(0^2)

Change in KE = 715.4J

Therefore ;

Average power = Workdone / time

Workdone = change in KE = 715.4N

Average power = 715.4 / 1.5

Average power = 476.93333 W

= 477W

A physics professor uses an air-track cart of mass m to compress a spring of constant k by an amount x from its equilibrium leng
zhenek [66]

Answer:

        v = √k/m    x

Explanation:

We can solve this exercise using the energy conservation relationships

starting point. Fully compressed spring

        Em₀ = K_{e} = ½ k x²

final point. Cart after leaving the spring

        Em_{f} = K = ½ m v²

        Em₀ = Em_{f}

        ½ k x² = ½ m v²

        v = √k/m    x

What is the distance between corresponding points of adjacent waves
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

Wavelength

Explanation:

The distance between corresponding points of adjacent waves is known as the wavelength.

In a wave motion, the point at which displacement is at maximum is known as the crest of the wave while the point where the displacement is at minimum is known as the trough of the the wave.

The distance between these two successive crest and trough of he wave as known as its wavelength.

Wavelength can be expressed as a function of frequency and velocity of a wave.

When do we say a curvilinear motion is accelerated?​
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

There always is an acceleration in a curvilinear motion, as the velocity vector changes, so always.
