The law of universal gravitation states that a gravitational force exists between all objects in the universe. This force is dir

ectly proportional to the masses of the two objects and inversely proportional to the distance between them. This principle is a law because A. it is contradictory to ideas proposed by other scientists. B. it is subject to change as new technology and evidence emerges. C. it cannot be tested through a controlled scientific investigation. D. it has been demonstrated to be without exception under certain stated conditions.

Answer: D. it has been demonstrated to be without exception under certain stated conditions.

Explanation:

A <u>Law</u> is an affirmation (something established) based on repeated long-term observation of a phenomenon that has been studied and verified.  

That is: A law is present in all known theories and therefore is considered universal. In addition, a law can not be refuted, nor changed, because its precepts have been proven through various studies.  

<u>Unlike theory</u>, which is the set of rules and principles that describe and explain a particular phenomenon and <u>is subject to changes as new evidence emerges that gives meaning to it.  </u>

Then, based on what is explained above, the law of universal gravitation is a statement that exists because it was rigorously tested and verified, therefore it can not be refuted.

kumpel [21]
<span>The answer is C. This is called polarization of light by reflection. The sunlight is reflected at a parallel angle from on the surface plane of the water from which it bounces from. The glare is due to this polarization of sun beams at an angle with respect to the viewer. </span>

An astronaut on the moon drops a feather from rest (v = 0). The acceleration due to gravity is 1.67 m/s​ 2​ . If the feather beg
olga_2 [115]

Given :

Initial velocity , u = 0 m/s .

Acceleration due to gravity on moon , g_m=1.67\ m/s^2 .

Height , h = 2 m .

To Find :

Final position after falling for 1.5 seconds .

Solution :

We know , by equation of motion :

s=ut+\dfrac{at^2}{2}

Here , a = g_m .

So , equation will transform by :

s=ut+\dfrac{g_mt^2}{2}\\\\s=0+\dfrac{1.67\times 1.5^2}{2}\ m\\\\s=1.88\ m

Therefore , the height form moon's surface is 1.88 m .

Hence , this is the required solution .

Which of the following documents could be used to represent claims to financial assets?
stiks02 [169]
I think the correct answer would be passbooks. It can be used to prove one's financial assets. It holds record of all bank transactions done on that particular account. Basically, all withdrawals and deposits are recorded there. Hope this helped.

A cross-country skier travels 40 meters north in 2 minutes. What is the skiers velocity?
allsm [11]

Answer:

v = 0.33 [m/s]

Explanation:

We must remember that speed is defined as the relationship between the displacement in a given time. In this way, we can propose the following equation.

v=d/t

where:

v = velocity [m/s]

d = displacement = 40 [m]

t = 2 [min] = 120 [s]

Now replacing we have:

v=40/120\\v=0.33[m/s]
