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.

Point charges of 21.0 μC and 47.0 μC are placed 0.500 m apart. (a) At what point (in m) along the line connecting them is the el

rewona [7]

Answer:

a) x = 0.200 m

b)E = 3.84*10^{-4} N/C

Explanation:

$q_1 = 21.0\mu C$

$q_1 = 47.0\mu C$

DISTANCE BETWEEN BOTH POINT CHARGE = 0.5 m

by relation for electric field we have following relation

$E = \frac{kq}{x}^2$

according to question E = 0

FROM FIGURE

x is the distance from left point charge where electric field is zero

$\frac{k21}{x}^2 = \frac{k47}{0.5-x}^2$

solving for x we get

$\frac{0.5}{x} = 1+ \sqrt{\frac{47}{21}}$

x = 0.200 m

b)electric field at half way mean x =0.25

$E =\frac{k*21*10^{-6}}{0.25^2} -\frac{k*47*10^{-6}}{0.25^2}$

E = 3.84*10^{-4} N/C

Oil at 150 C flows slowly through a long, thin-walled pipe of 30-mm inner diameter. The pipe is suspended in a room for which th

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

1.01 W/m

Explanation:

diameter of the pipe d = 30 mm = 0.03 m

radius of the pipe r = d/2 = 0.015 m

external air temperature Ta = 20 °C

temperature of pipe wall Tw = 150 °C

convection coefficient at outer tube surface h = 11 W/m^2-K

From the above, we assumed that the pipe wall and the oil are in thermal equilibrium.

area of the pipe per unit length A = $\pi r ^{2}$ = $7.069*10^{-4}$ m^2/m

convectional heat loss Q = Ah(Tw - Ta)

Q = 7.069 x 10^-4 x 11 x (150 - 20)

Q = 7.069 x 10^-4 x 11 x 130 = 1.01 W/m

A 2.00-kg ball is moving at 2.20 m/s toward the right. It collides elastically with a 4.00-kg ball that is initially at rest. 1)

loris [4]

Elastic collision is when kinetic energy before = kinetic energy after

Ek= 1/2mv^2

total before
Ek=1/2(2)(2.2^2) = 4.84 J

total after
Ek= 1/2(2+4)(v^2) = 3v^2

Before = after
4.84=3v^2 | divide by 3
121/75 = v^2 | square root both sides
v=1.27 m/s

Yakvenalex [24]

Sound though open space (and other compressible media) is composed of compression waves. Lack of any such media, such as the vacuum of space means the sound waves have nothing to propagate through. So there would be no sound. it's also virtually impossible since there's no electricity
