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.

what does it mean for data to be reproducible? how would you conduct an experiment in such a way as to get data reproducible?
PIT_PIT [208]
Reproducible is the term where your answers are similar to other groups. If every other group has similar results as yours (only if you use the same measurements) your results are reproducible. If your results are different to every other group your results aren't reproducible.  <span />

Muons are elementary particles that are formed high in the atmosphere by the interactions of cosmic rays with atomic nuclei. Muo
uysha [10]

Answer:

<em>Muons reach the earth in great amount due to the relativistic time dilation from an earthly frame of reference.</em>

Explanation:

Muons travel at exceedingly high speed; close to the speed of light. At this speed, relativistic effect starts to take effect. The effect of this is that, when viewed from an earthly reference frame, their short half life of about two-millionth of a second is dilated. The dilated time, due to relativistic effects on time for travelling at speed close to the speed of light, gives the muons an extended relative travel time before their complete decay. So <em>in reality, the muon do not have enough half-life to survive the distance from their point of production high up in the atmosphere to sea level, but relativistic effect due to their near-light speed, dilates their half-life; enough for them to be found in sufficient amount at sea level.  </em>

Find the minimum value of n in the Balmer series for which the predicted wavelength is in the ultraviolet region of the spectrum
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

 λ =365.4 nm

Explanation:

Boh's atomic model of the Hydrogen atom the energy of each level is

        Eₙ = - 13.606 / n²

where the synergy is in electonvotes and the value of E₀ = 13.606 eV is the energy of the base state of hydrogen.

An atomic transition occurs when an electron goes from an excited state and joins everything of lower energy.

                 ED = 13.606 (1 / n₀² - 1 /n_{f}^{2})

we are going to apply this relationship to answer slash.

 

At the beginning of the studies of atomic transitions, each group did not consider having a different name

name        Initial state

Lymman         1

Balmer           2

the final state is any other state sta the continuum that corresponds to n = inf

Let's look for the highest energy of the Balmer series

              ΔE = 13.606 (1/2² - 1 /∞)

              ΔE = 3.4015 eV

Let's use the Planck relation for the energy

                E = h f = h c /λ

                λ = h c / E

Let's reduce the energy to J

              E = 3.4015 eV (1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J / 1 eV) = 5.4424 10⁻¹⁹

            λ = 6.63 10⁻³⁴  3 10⁸ / 5.4424 10⁻¹⁹

            λ = 3.654 10⁻⁷ m

            λ = 3,654 10⁻⁷ m (10⁹ nm / 1m)

            λ =365.4 nm

Why VR is always less than 1 in Third class lever?​
Sav [38]
Mechanical advantage of a class 3 lever is always less than 1 because the load arm is always longer than effort arm. This helps by reducing the applied force(effort).that’s your answer hope this helps you!
Have a great day!
