Why can we never prove that a hypothesis is true?

A theorem can be proven (from axioms or prior theorems), using logic.

A hypothesis can be supported by evidence. The more evidence in support of the hypothesis, the more likely the hypothesis is to be correct. However, you’re always at the mercy of contrary evidence appearing in the future, to reduce the likelihood or even invalidate a hypothesis.

A (mathematical) proof suffers no such vulnerability to future evidence, as long as you hold the axioms of the theory to be true, and as long as there was no flaw in the construction of the proof.

Define limitations in the operation conditions of a pn junction<br>​
suter [353]

Answer:

Such limitations are given below.

Explanation:

  • Each pn junction provides limited measurements of maximum forwarding current, highest possible inversion voltage as well as the maximum output level.
  • If controlled within certain adsorption conditions, the pn junction could very well offer satisfying performance.
  • In connector operation, the maximum inversion voltage seems to be of significant importance.

Suppose a car of mass m is moving at a constant speed v of
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The angle of banked curve that makes the reliance on friction unnecessary is

\arcsin(v^2/(gR))

Explanation:

In order the car to stay on the curve without friction, the net force in the direction of radius should be equal or smaller than the centripetal force. Otherwise the car could slide off the curve.

The only force in the direction of radius is the sine component of the weight of the car

w_r = mg\sin(\theta)

The cosine component is equivalent to the normal force, which we will not be using since friction is unnecessary.

Newton’s Second Law states that

F_{net} = ma = mg\sin(\theta)\\\sin(\theta) = a/g

Also, the car is making a circular motion:

a = \frac{v^2}{R}

Combining the equations:

\sin(\theta) = \frac{a}{g} = \frac{v^2/R}{g} = \frac{v^2}{gR}

Finally the angle is

\arcsin(v^2/(gR))
