Answer:

Science tests and proves; pseudoscience relies on evidence that supports a belief or theory.

Explanation:

Both science and pseudoscience have been used by scientists for ages.

Science is a factual approach to a problem. It tests the reliability, repeatability, replicability and tests any hypothesis to see if there is solid evidence to support the claim. This is done by a series of experiments that test the hypothesis. Based on the results, the hypothesis can either be nullified (rejected) or accepted.

Pseudoscience on the other hand, relies on evidence but lacks scientific practices to support the claim. The method is filled with errors as there is no proof.

Point charges of 21.0 μC and 47.0 μC are placed 0.500 m apart. (a) At what point (in m) along the line connecting them is the el
rewona [7]

Answer:

a) x = 0.200 m

b)E = 3.84*10^{-4} N/C

Explanation:

q_1 = 21.0\mu C

q_1 = 47.0\mu C

DISTANCE BETWEEN BOTH POINT CHARGE = 0.5 m

by relation for electric field we have following relation

E = \frac{kq}{x}^2

according to question E = 0

FROM FIGURE

x is the distance from left point charge where electric field is zero

\frac{k21}{x}^2 = \frac{k47}{0.5-x}^2

solving for x we get

\frac{0.5}{x} = 1+ \sqrt{\frac{47}{21}}

x = 0.200 m

b)electric field at half way mean x =0.25

E =\frac{k*21*10^{-6}}{0.25^2} -\frac{k*47*10^{-6}}{0.25^2}

E = 3.84*10^{-4} N/C

How does a compound differ from a mixture?
Mashcka [7]
A compound is the substances that are formed by combining two are more chemical elements. A mixture is a substance created from two or more matter that can be separate with the help of physical methods. ... Mainly pure water is part of the compound. Mixtures fall under impure water.

Hope this helps!

Have a great day!

As she climbs a hill a cyclist slows down from 25 mi/hr to 6mi/hr in 10 seconds what is her acceleration
vesna_86 [32]

|Acceleration| = (change in speed) / (time for the change).

Change in speed = (6 mi/hr - 25 mi/hr) = -19 mi/hr
Time for the change = 10 sec

|Acceleration| = (-19 mi/hr) / (10 sec) = -1.9 mile per hour per second

Admittedly, that's a rather weird unit.
Other units, perhaps more comfortable ones, are:

                 -6,840 mi/hr²

                   -2.79 feet/sec²

A child is in danger of drowning in the Merimac river. The Merimac river has a current of 3.1 km/hr to the east. The child is 0.
kolezko [41]
In a problem where a child is danger form drowning from a river who has a current of 3.1km/hr to east and the child is 0.6km fro the shore and the upstream is 2,5km from the dock. So base on the question the boat with a speed of 24.8 km/hr is 1.9 km because the child is 0.6 km off the dock so 2.5 minus 0.6
