In the seventeenth century, astronomer Johannes Kepler observed the planets revolving around our sun and analyzed data about the

m. He found that as the distance from the Sun increases, the amount of time it takes for the planet to go all the way around the Sun increases. Even though Kepler did not know why his observation was true, it has been found that planets in all solar systems always revolve around suns the same way.
Which best describes why Kepler’s observation of planetary motion is a law instead of a theory?

It does not discuss independent and dependent variables that can be observed or tested.
It does not provide an explanation for why the relationship exists between distance and orbit time.
A lot of new technology has been developed that can record more accurate data about planetary motion.
A lot of different understandings of why planets move have been developed, and Kepler’s provides the best explanation.

Answer:

"A lot of different understanding of why planets move have been developed, and Kepler's provides the best explanation."

Explanation:

All of the other three choices actually contradict the initial question which is asking why Kepler’s observation of planetary motion is a law instead of a theory. A law is a well established theory which means that it is an emergent truth that is known to be true. Kepler's laws have been verified and proven numerous times:) For a deductive proof of Kepler's laws look to Sir Isaac Newton.

hooke's law is described mathematically using the formula fsp=-kx. which statement is correct about spring force, fsp? A. It is
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

A. It is always a positive force

Explanation:

Hooke's law describes the relation between an applied force and extension ability of an elastic material. The law states that provided the elastic limit, e, of a material is not exceeded, the force, F, applied is proportional to the extension, x, provided temperature is constant.

i.e F = - kx

where k is the constant of proportionality, and the minus sign implies that the force is a restoring force.

The applied force can either be compressing or stretching force.

A truck driver sees a dog running into the road. He immediately brakes. Describe the energy transfers in the truck as it comes t
Eduardwww [97]

Answer: find the answer in the explanation as kinetic energy converts to potential energy.

Explanation:

Before the truck driver sees a dog running into the road, The mechanical energy state of the truck will be kinetic energy at maximum.

Immediately he applied the brakes, the mechanical energy of the truck will be combination of kinetic energy and potential energy.

The kinetic energy will gradually decrease as potential energy continue to increase till it reaches maximum potential energy.

The truck will come to a stop at maximum potential energy
