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.

Distance travelled can be found from the
meriva

Answer:

A

Explanation:

This is because distance traveled (i.e. displacement) is the integral of the velocity function, and velocity is the first derivative of the displacement function. To put this in perspective, the area bounded by a curve can be found by taking the integral of the equation of the curve, taking values on the x-axis as limits.

A parallel plate capacitor with air between the plates has a potential difference of 71.0 V. Determine the potential difference
Gwar [14]

Answer:

15.8 V

Explanation:

The relationship between capacitance and potential difference across a capacitor is:

q=CV

where

q is the charge stored on the capacitor

C is the capacitance

V is the potential difference

Here we call C and V the initial capacitance and potential difference across the capacitor, so that the initial charge stored is q.

Later, a dielectric material is inserted between the two plates, so the capacitance changes according to

C'=kC

where k is the dielectric constant of the material. As a result, the potential difference will change (V'). Since the charge stored by the capacitor remains constant,

q=C'V'

So we can combine the two equations:

CV=CV'\\CV=(kC)V'\\V'=\frac{V}{k}

and since we have

V = 71.0 V

k = 4.50

We find the new potential difference:

V'=\frac{71.0}{4.50}=15.8 V

The engine in an imaginary sports car can provide constant power to the wheels over a range of speeds from 0 to 70 miles per hou
puteri [66]

Answer:

t=5.3687\ s  is the time taken by the car to accelerate the desired range of the speed from zero at full power.

Explanation:

Given:

Range of speed during which constant power is supplied to the wheels by the car is 0\ mph\ to\ 70\ mph.

  • Initial velocity of the car, v_i=0\ mph
  • final velocity of the car during the test, v_f=32\ mph=14.3052\ m.s^{-1}
  • Time taken to accelerate form zero to 32 mph at full power, t=1.2\ s
  • initial velocity of the car, u_i=0\ mph
  • final desired velocity of the car, u_f=64\ mph=28.6105\ m.s^{-1}

Now the acceleration of the car:

a=\frac{v_f-v_i}{t}

a=\frac{14.3052-0}{1.2}

a=11.921\ m.s^{-1}

Now using the equation of motion:

u_f=u_i+a.t

64=0+11.921\times t

t=5.3687\ s is the time taken by the car to accelerate the desired range of the speed from zero at full power.
