Answer: D

Explanation:

We can immediately cross out A because theories and laws are completely different

We can then cross out B because laws have to go through many trials to prove them

C is wrong because laws and hypothesis are completely different

So that leaves us with D. Hope this helps!

Answer:

Scientific theories summarize patterns found in nature.

Explanation:

A scientific theory is an explanation of certain observed patterns. Scientific theories can be constantly improved, depending on the new phenomena observed that are studied through experiments that follow the scientific method. Therefore, a scientific theory allows to acquire an increasingly accurate knowledge about the mechanisms responsible for the patterns observed in nature.

The ratio of the focal length of a lens to it's diameter is the

user100 [1]

Answer:

The f-ratio describes the relationship between the lens diameter and the focal length and is calculated by dividing the focal length by the diameter of the lens. For example, if a lens were to have a focal length of 50mm and a diameter of 10mm, then the f-ratio would be 50mm/10mm=5 or otherwise referred to as f5.

What is rotation in your own words. and you have to be detailed

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

The action of rotating around something like for ex.. Child A stands in the middle of a room while Child B goes around Child A, Child B is rotating around Child A. Another ex. is; The earth rotates around the sun every 365 days the earth is rotating or going around the sun in a circle. So rotating to me is the act of rotating around something in any way shape or form.

The velocity of a ball changes from ‹ 9, −6, 0 › m/s to ‹ 8.96, −6.12, 0 › m/s in 0.02 s, due to the gravitational attraction of

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

a) $a=(-2,-6,0)m/s^2$ , with a magnitude of $6.3m/s^2$

b) $\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}=(-0.24,-0.72,0)Kgm/s^2$ , with a magnitude of $0.76Kgm/s^2$

c) $F=(-0.24,-0.72,0)N$ , with a magnitude of $0.76N$

Explanation:

We have:

$v_{ix}=9m/s, v_{iy}=-6m/s, v_{iz}=0m/s\\v_{fx}=8.96m/s, v_{fy}=-6.12m/s, v_{fz}=0m/s\\t=0.02s, m=0.12Kg$

We can calculate each component of the acceleration using its definition $a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$

$a_x=\frac{v_{fx}-v_{ix}}{t} = \frac{(8.96m/s)-(9m/s)}{0.02s} =-2m/s^2\\a_y=\frac{v_{fy}-v_{iy}}{t} = \frac{(-6.12m/s)-(-6m/s)}{0.02s} =-6m/s^2\\a_y=\frac{v_{fz}-v_{iz}}{t} = \frac{(0m/s)-(0m/s)}{0.02s} =0m/s^2\\$

The rate of change of momentum of the ball is $\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t} = \frac{\Delta mv}{\Delta t} = \frac{m\Delta v}{\Delta t} = ma$

So for each coordinate:

$\frac{\Delta p_x}{\Delta t}=-0.24Kgm/s^2\\\frac{\Delta p_y}{\Delta t}=-0.72Kgm/s^2\\\frac{\Delta p_z}{\Delta t}=0Kgm/s^2$

And these are equal to the components of the net force since F=ma.

If magnitudes is what is asked:

$a=\sqrt{a_x+a_y+a_z} =6.3m/s^2\\F=ma=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}=0.76N$
