<u>Explanation: </u>

The first step of formation of scientific theory or law is formation of a testable question. Then building up of a hypothesis surrounding the question. Thereafter designing an experiment to test the hypothesis.

If the result of the experiment is positive, it supports the hypotheses. On the other hand, a negative result fails to suppose the hypothesis. It is very important to carefully choose and perform the experiment because the formation of the scientific law and theory is dependent on the experiment.

a hypothesis is given to explain a phenomena which has not been explained earlier. it can proved  by an experiment if that experiment gets the other results regarding that particular phenomena in agreement with that being predicted by the hypothesis and if  result doesnt match the prediction then the hypothesis is again  totally discarded at times.

How to calculate depth of sea whan a ship receives sound produced by its fathometer after 3.5 second
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

2600 m

Explanation:

A fathometer produces a sound wave and then detects the echo.  It takes 3.5 seconds for the echo to reach the ship, so that means it takes half the time (1.75 seconds) to reach the ocean floor.

The speed of sound in seawater is approximately 1500 m/s, so the depth of the ocean at that point is:

d = 1500 m/s × 1.75 s

d = 2625 m

Rounding to two significant figures, the depth is approximately 2600 m.

Pretend a person can walk only at a certain pace – no faster, no slower. If you time her uninterrupted walk across a room of kno
Free_Kalibri [48]

Explanation:

If a person is set to walk on a constant speed regardless of the situations then if the person walks a certain distance with no interruptions in an observed time then her speed can be calculated.

When the same person walking through the room momentarily stops to introduce herself then the average speed of the of the person slows down as it happens with the light wave when passes through glass which is an optically denser medium than the air, but the light wave does not stop anywhere in the medium.

It can be more relevant to the person's speed when she walks wading through the water or the person walks through the sand then the person feels resistance in the sand or in water which reduces her overall speed.

Please help
eimsori [14]

Answer:

  1. It's important that we understand how the climate is changing, so that we can prepare for the future. Studying the climate helps us predict how much rain the next winter might bring, or how far sea levels will rise due to warmer sea temperatures
  2. As the cold front passes, winds become gusty. There is a sudden drop in temperature, and also heavy rain, sometimes with hail, thunder, and lightning.
