Answer:

A theory changes based on new observations and testing.

Explanation:

Theories are very critical part of the scientific methods with usually starts with simple observations around.

Scientific theories abounds. They typically provide explanation into a phenomenon and gives us the reason why something occurs or not.

They are usually based on multiple laboratory trials which have been repeated over and over again.
Most times, when new bodies of evidence suffice, a theory is often revised.
This will provide more detailed and scientifically au couture information about a phenomenon.
It is a law the usually states how things behave without explaining why they do so.

Which best supports the idea that the surface of the moon has changed very little?

likoan [24]

The correct answer is<span> c) Because the moon has no atmosphere, it is not possible for geologic events to occur on the moon.

Atmosphere is related to geological change because of things such as wind and water erosion that over time change the landscape, and there's neither on the moon. It's just a floating rock.</span>

If the mass of both weights is 225 gm, the first mass is located 20∘ north of east, the second mass is located 20∘ south of east

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

The voltage is 2.114 V.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of both weights = 225 gm

Transducer sensitivity = 0.5 V/N

The first mass is located 20∘ north of east, the second mass is located 20∘ south of east,

We need to calculate the net equivalent force

Using formula of force

$F_{3}=m_{1}g\cos\theta+m_{2}g\cos\theta$

$F_{3}=2mg\cos\theta$

Put the value into the formula

$F_{3}=2\times0.225\times10\cos20^{\circ}$

$F_{3}=4.228\ N$

We need to calculate the voltage

Using formula of voltage

$Voltage =sensitivity\times F_{3}$

Put the value into the formula

$Voltage=0.5\times4.228$

$Voltage =2.114\ V$

Hence, The voltage is 2.114 V.

A force of 10. N toward the right is exerted on a wooden crate initially moving to the right on a horizontal wooden floor. the c

Artyom0805 [142]

1) 5 N

The crate is initially moving, so we must calculate the force of kinetic friction, which is given by:

$F_f = \mu_k mg$

where

$\mu_k=0.2$ is the coefficient of friction between the crate (made of wood) and the floor (made of wood). The coefficient of kinetic friction between wood and wood is about 0.2.

$mg=25 N$ is the weight of the crate

Substituting the numbers into the formula, we find

$F_f=(0.2)(25 N)=5 N$

2) 5 N

There are two forces acting on the crate along the horizontal direction:

- The force that pushes the crate toward the right, of magnitude $F=10 N$

- The force of friction, which acts in the opposite direction (so, towards the left), of magnitude $F_f = 5 N$

Since the two forces are in opposite directions, the net force is given by their difference:

$F_{net}=F-F_f = 10 N-5 N=5 N$

3) Yes

The crate is accelerating. In fact, according to Second Newton's Law:

$F_{net}=ma$ (1)

where Fnet is the net force on the crate, m is its mass, a is its acceleration. We can immediately see that since Fnet is not zero, the acceleration is also non-zero, so the crate is accelerating.

We can even calculate the magnitude of the acceleration. In fact, the mass of the crate is given by:

$m=\frac{Weight}{g}=\frac{25 N}{9.8 m/s^2}=2.55 kg$

And by using (1) we find

$a=\frac{F_{net}}{m}=\frac{5 N}{2.55 kg}=1.96 m/s^2$
