Explain why a scientific theory cannot became a scientific law

1 answer:

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.

How many times should the power develop by the engine of a ship increases to double is velocity i the resistance of the water to

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

If the ship speed is doubled, then the power developed is 8 times the initial value.

Explanation:

ship power is roughly proportional to the cube of the speed, so

P ∝ v³

If the speed is doubled, then the power developed becomes

P ∝ (2)³ = 8 times

Therefore, if the ship speed is doubled, then the power developed is 8 times the initial value.

A charge of 8.4*10^-4 moves at an angle of 35 degrees to a magnetic field that has a field strentgh of 6.7

12345 [234]

The force on a charged particle in a magnetic field is given by

the speed of the charged particle = 10842 m/s.

Explanation:

F= q V B sinθ

F=force=3.5 x 10⁻²N

q= charge= 8.4 x 10⁻⁴ C

B= magnetic field= 6.7 x 10⁻³ T

θ=35⁰

Thus the velocity is given by V= $\frac{F}{q B sin35}$

V=(3.5 x 10⁻²)/[(8.4 x 10⁻⁴)(6.7 x 10⁻³)(sin35)]

V=10842 m/s

Water falls without splashing at a rate of 0.200 L/s from a height of 3.60 m into a 0.730 kg bucket on a scale. If the bucket is

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

15.106 N

Explanation:

From the given information,

The weight of the bucket can be calculated as:

$W_b = m_bg = \\ \\ W_b = (0.730 \ kg) ( 9.80 \ m/s^2) \\ \\ W_b = 7.154 \ N$

The mass of the water accumulated in the bucket after 3.20s is:

$m_w= (0.20 \ L/s) ( 3.20)s$

$m _w=0.64 \ kg$

To determine the weight of the water accumulated in the bucket, we have:

$W_w = m_w g$

$W_w = ( 0.64 \ kg )(9.80\ m \ /s^2)$

$W_w = 6.272 \ N$

For the speed of the water before hitting the bucket; we have:

$v = \sqrt{2gh}$

$v = \sqrt{2*9.80 \ m/s^2 * 3.60 \ m}$

v = 8.4 m/s

Now, the force required to stop the water later when it already hit the bucket is:

$F = v ( \dfrac {dm}{dt} )$

$F = (8.4 \ m/s)( 0.200 \ L/s)$

F = 1.68 N

Finally, the reading scale is:

$F_{scale$ = 7.154 N + 6.272 N + 1.68 N

= 15.106 N

Calculate the kinetic energy in joules of a 1,500 kg car that is moving at a speed of 42 km/h

Rzqust [24]

Data:
KE (Kinetic Energy) = ? (Joule)
m (mass) = 1500 Kg
v (speed) = 42 Km/h
converting to m/s (42 / 3.6), we have: v (speed) = 11.6 m/s

Formula:
$K_{E} = \frac{1}{2} m*v^2$

Solving:
$K_{E} = \frac{1}{2} m*v^2$
$K_{E} = \frac{1}{2} *1500*(11.6)^2$
$K_{E} = \frac{1}{2} *1500*134.56$
$K_{E} = \frac{201840}{2}$
$\boxed{\boxed{K_{E} = 100920\:Joule}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark$
