Why what we know about cells is called a theory and not a law

Afina-wow [57]3 years ago

The term "law" is a historical relic going back to Newtonian times, when after Newton's development of classical mechanics, it was thought that the workings of the universe were directly analagous to a perfectly constructed and perfectly predictable clockwork. That was turned on its head as a result of quantum mechanics, and modern scientists typically avoid use of the term "law" anymore because it is too dogmatic. Newton's "Laws" are still called that mainly for historical reasons now. What used to be called laws are now called theories.

How does the movement of particles of matter change when temperature increases?
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

Increases

Explanation:

The movement of particles of the matter increases with the increase in temperature.

The particles gain kinetic energy with increasing temperature and move in faster rate.

<u>For example:</u> When we blow a balloon with our mouth, we increases the temperature inside the balloon, the particles in the balloon gain kinetic energy that leads to the faster movement of gas particles in the balloon and they collide with each other and surface of balloon, after a peak the balloon get burst because of high kinetic energy and high collision.

Hence, the correct answer is "increases".
