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.

If a species experiences a helpful mutation, like camouflage, explain how that mutation would help the species to better survive
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

A helpful mutation like camoflage would immensely help a species survive and flourish. The reason being the appliances of such a mutation. Camoflage is one of the most apllicable of abilities. It can be used as a defense mechanism, to hide in plain sight, it can be used offensively to avoid being seen while hunting and it can even be used as a form of communication between the species. All of these appliances would greatly benefit the species and would most definitely help it survive and flourish.

PtichkaEL [24]

All of that fluff at the beginning is interesting, but completely irrelevant
to the question.  The question is just asking for the mass of an object
that weighs 3.6N on Earth.

                           Weight = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity)

                              3.6N = (mass) x (9.8 m/s²)

Divide each side
by  9.8 m/s :           Mass = 3.6N / 9.8 m/s² = <em>0.367 kilogram</em> (rounded)

please help! find magnitude and direction (the counterclockwise angle with the +x axis) of a vector that is equal to a + c
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Option (2)

Explanation:

From the figure attached,

Horizontal component, A_x=A\text{Sin}37

A_x=12[\text{Sin}(37)]

     = 7.22 m

Vertical component, A_y=A[\text{Cos}(37)]

    = 9.58 m

Similarly, Horizontal component of vector C,

C_x  = C[Cos(60)]

     = 6[Cos(60)]

     = \frac{6}{2}

     = 3 m

C_y=6[\text{Sin}(60)]

    = 5.20 m

Resultant Horizontal component of the vectors A + C,

R_x=7.22-3=4.22 m

R_y=9.58-5.20 = 4.38 m

Now magnitude of the resultant will be,

From ΔOBC,

R=\sqrt{(R_x)^{2}+(R_y)^2}

   = \sqrt{(4.22)^2+(4.38)^2}

   = \sqrt{17.81+19.18}

   = 6.1 m

Direction of the resultant will be towards vector A.

tan(∠COB) = \frac{\text{CB}}{\text{OB}}

                  = \frac{R_y}{R_x}

                  = \frac{4.38}{4.22}

m∠COB = \text{tan}^{-1}(1.04)

             = 46°

Therefore, magnitude of the resultant vector will be 6.1 m and direction will be 46°.

Option (2) will be the answer.

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST. Which gas became part of Earth's atmosphere as a result of the evolution of life-forms?
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

Earth's atmosphere was largely made up of nitrogen and carbon dioxide gases. After photosynthesizing organisms multiplied on Earth's surface and in the oceans, much of the carbon dioxide was replaced with oxygen.

Idk if this helps but plz mark brainliest if it does
