Distance is a scalar as it provides magnitude without direction
    Ex. 5 m

Displacement is a vector as it has magnitude and direction
     Ex. 5 m [N]

Write a explanation explaining why red is a beautiful color is not a hypothesis
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Please find the explanation below

Explanation:

A hypothesis in science is a testable explanation that is yet to be tested via experimentation. It is a predictive statement or suggested solution to an observation. A hypothesis aims at finding a possible explanation/answer to a question, which is subject to testing. One important aspect of formulating a hypothesis is that it tends to connect the independent variable with the dependent/measurable variable.

The statement "RED IS A BEAUTIFUL COLOR" cannot be considered a hypothesis because it does not aim to answer a question that can undergo experimental testing. This statement can not be measured via experimentation. The statement is not a possible answer to a question but rather a personal opinion about something.

Sladkaya [172]
The main difference between the model of the atom proposed by Greek philosophers and the model proposed centuries later by Dalton is that the Greek one was mainly speculative and philosophical - it wasn't based on real evidence, but on their suggestions and thoughts about the matter. On the other hand, Dalton had the means to prove his theory using viable evidence, not just speculations.

Mary starts at the edge of a circular platform that is slowly rotating on a frictionless axle. She then walks towards the opposi
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The motion of Mary along the circular path is a centripetal.

As Mary moves from one edge of the circular platform to the other edge, she is covering a distance which is the radius of the circular path at a velocity.

According to the relationship

w = v/r where

w is the angular velocity

r is the radius

v is the linear velocity

Initially, before Mary starts, her linear speed is zero and her angular velocity is also zero. As she move towards the opposite edge, she is covering a distance of radius r. According to the formula, increase in radius will leads to decrease in her angular velocity and vice versa. As Mary starts moving towards the centre of the circular path, her angular velocity increases, at the centre of the platform, her angular velocity is at maximum at this point. As she moves further from the center to the other edge, her angular velocity decreases due to increase in distance covered across the circular path.

Could an experiment similar to young's two-slit experiment be performed with sound? how might this be carried out? does it matte
Arada [10]
Young's double slit experiment(YDSE) can be used for any kind of waves such as electromagnetic waves, sound waves, water waves, gravity waves. YDSE is based on interference. In this experiment, we make two waves interfere in order to obtain bright and dark fringes on the screen(in case of light).
You can carry this out with water, would be great if you try this at pond or water reservoir in order to see perfect ripples.
