A scientific theory is different from a hypothesis because a theory is a educated guess that is being worked on and proven correct and a hypothesis is a educated guess it is a guess that needs to be proven.
Answer:
mass: it is scalar quantity.
weight:it is a vector quantity.
Answer:
Work done = 13605.44
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
For elongation of 2.1 cm (0.021 m) work done by the spring is 3.0 J
The relation between Energy (U) and the elongation (s) is given as:
U =
................(1)
where,
k is the spring constant
on substituting the valeus in the above equation, we get
3.0 = 
or
k = 13605.44 N/m
now
for the elongation x = 2.1 + 4.1 = 6.2 cm = 0.062 m
using the equation 1, we have
U = 
or
U = 26.149 J
Also,
Work done = change in energy
or
W = 26.149 - 3.0 = 23.149 J
Answer:
0.04455 Hz
Explanation:
Parameters given:
Wavelength, λ = 6.5km = 6500m
Distance travelled by the wave, x = 8830km = 8830000m
Time taken, t = 8.47hours = 8.47 * 3600 = 30492 secs
First, we find the speed of the wave:
Speed, v = distance/time = x/t
v = 8830000/30492 = 289.58 m/s
Frequency, f, is given as velocity divided by wavelength:
f = v/λ
f = 289.58/6500
f = 0.04455 Hz
