A theory in science is ________.

Physics

1 answer:

Answer:

It would be (a)

Explanation:

A theory is something that can be proved through rigorous and repeated experimentation, while choice (b) sounds tempting i believe it fails at the fact that it says that a theory is an "agreement", sure an agreement could be reached by while trained scientists but that does not necessarily mean that what the scientists agree upon is rigorously tested and repeatable, and so therefore cannot be assumed

That is what I think

Hope this helps :)

Which sentence describes an example of sublimation?

RideAnS [48]

The correct answer to the question is C).Dry ice changes to carbon dioxide when kept in an open container.

EXPLANATION:

Before answering this question, first we have to understand sublimation.

Sublimation is a thermal process of state or phase change in which solid substance is directly converted into gas without melting i.e the substance won't undergo liquid state.

In the given question, dry ice is given. Dry ice is the solid state of carbon dioxide. When the dry ice changes to carbon dioxide, directly solid carbon dioxide is converted into gaseous carbon dioxide. No liquid carbon dioxide is formed . So, the phase change is from solid to gas.

Hence, the conversion of dry ice into carbon dioxide is an example of sublimation.

A solid silver sphere of radius a = 2.5 cm has a net charge Qin = - 3.0 mC. The sphere is surrounded by a concentric copper sphe

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

Part a)

tex]V = -1 \times 10^8 Volts[/tex]

Part b)

$V_{inner} = V_{outer} = -1 \times 10^8 volts$

Part c)

$V = -7.30 \times 10^8 Volts$

Explanation:

Part a)

Net charge distribution on each shell is given as

On surface of radius "a"

$q_a = -3.0 mC$

on radius "b"

$q_b = 3 mC$

on radius "c"

$q_c = -1.0 mC$

Now potential at the outer shell is

$V = \frac{kq_c}{r_c}$

$V = \frac{(9\times 10^9)((-1\times 10^{-3})}{0.09}$

$V = -1 \times 10^8 Volts$

Part b)

Since copper sphere is a conducting sphere so here it will be an equi potential surface

So the potential will remain same throughout the surface of this sphere

Now we can say

$V_{inner} = V_{outer} = -1 \times 10^8 volts$

Part c)

Now electric potential at inner sphere is given as

$V = \frac{kq_a}{r_a} + \frac{kq_b}{r_b} + \frac{kq_c}{r_c}$

$V = \frac{(9\times 10^9)(-3 mC)}{0.025} + \frac{(9\times 10^9)(3 mC)}{0.06} + \frac{(9\times 10^9)(-1 mC)}{0.09}$

$V = -7.30 \times 10^8 Volts$

Hannah walks 0.30 km to class in 5.0 min. what is her average speed in m/s?

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

1.0 m/s

Explanation:

First, convert to SI units.

0.30 km × (1000 m / km) = 300 m

5.0 min × (60 s / min) = 300 s

Speed is distance divided by time:

300 m / 300 s = 1.0 m/s

The annoying sound from a mosquito is produced when it beats its wings at the average rate of 600. wingbeats per second. What is

jok3333 [9.3K]

The frequency is exactly the rate at which the bug beats its wings.
If that "600" that you mentioned is 600 beats per second, then
THAT's the frequency . . . 600 per second. (600 Hz)
