Why can we never prove that a hypothesis is true?

Physics

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.

A box with mass (m) it's sliding along on a friction-free surface at 9.87 m/s at a height of 1.81 meters. It travels down the hi
Rus_ich [418]
A) The answer is 11.53 m/s

The final kinetic energy (KEf) is the sum of initial kinetic energy (KEi) and initial potential energy (PEi).
KEf = KEi + PEi

Kinetic energy depends on mass (m) and velocity (v)
KEf = 1/2 m * vf²
KEi = 1/2 m * vi²

Potential energy depends on mass (m), acceleration (a), and height (h):
PEi = m * a * h

So:
KEf = KEi + <span>PEi
</span>1/2 m * vf² =  1/2 m * vi² + m * a * h
..
Divide all sides by m:
1/2 vf² =  1/2 vi² + a * h

We know:
vi = 9.87 m/s
a = 9.8 m/s²
h = 1.81 m

1/2 vf² =  1/2 * 9.87² + 9.8 * 1.81
1/2 vf² = 48.71 + 17.74
1/2 vf² = 66.45
vf² = 66.45 * 2
vf² = 132.9
vf = √132.9
vf = 11.53 m/s


b) The answer is 6.78 m

The kinetic energy at the bottom (KE) is equal to the potential energy at the highest point (PE)
KE = PE

Kinetic energy depends on mass (m) and velocity (v)
KE = 1/2 m * v²

Potential energy depends on mass (m), acceleration (a), and height (h):
PE = m * a * h

KE = PE
1/2 m * v² = m * a * h

Divide both sides by m:
1/2 * v² = a * h
v = 11.53 m/s
a = 9.8 m/s² 
h = ?

1/2 * 11.53² = 9.8 * h
1/2 * 132.94 = 9.8 * h
66.47 = 9.8 * h
h = 66.47 / 9.8
h = 6.78 m
