Why is gravity an example of a scientific law?

It's because it's the force that attracts a body toward the center of earth, or toward any other physical body having mass. For most purposes Newton's laws of gravity apply, with minor modifications to take the general theory of relativity into account

Because a sxientific law is always applies under the same conditions, and implies that there is a causal relationship involving its elements. And so that is why gravity <span>always applies under the same conditions, and implies that there is a causal relationship involving its elements.</span>

Which of the following is NOT a example
solmaris [256]

Answer:

B. a piece of paper being torn

Explanation:

A chemical change is one that cannot be reversed. This means the original properties of the substance or object cannot be restored.

If you cook a raw egg, it would turn into a boiled egg (or a poached egg, however it is being cooked). The reaction is irreversible, so you cannot turn the cooked egg back into a raw egg - it is basically impossible to 'uncook' an already cooked egg.

When you toast a piece of bread, it turns into toast. You can't 'untoast' it back into bread. The chemical changes have already occurred and cannot be undone.

If you tear a piece of paper, it is still paper. You are only ripping it, not changing anything about it. You could simply tape the torn bit back to the original bit, or glue it - either way, it is still paper and nothing has occurred to drastically change the physical state of it.

Therefore, B is not a chemical change.

Is a neutron star also a black hole?
coldgirl [10]

No.  A neutron star is the weird remains of a star that blew its outer layers off
in a nova event, and then had enough mass left so that gravity crushed its
electrons into its protons, and then what was left of it shrank down to a sphere
of unimaginably dense neutron soup.  But it didn't have enough mass to go
any farther than that.

A black hole is the remains of a star that had enough mass to go even farther
than that.  No force in the universe was able to stop it from contracting, so it
kept contracting until its mass occupied no volume ... zero.  It became even
more weird, and is composed of a substance that we don't know anything about
and can't describe, and occupies zero volume.

Contrary to popular fairy tales, a black hole doesn't reach out and "suck things in".
It's just so small (zero) that things can get very close to it.  You know that gravity
gets stronger as you get closer to an object, so if the object has no size at all, you
can get really really close to it, and THAT's where the gravity gets really strong.
You may weigh, let's say, 100 pounds on the Earth.  But you're like 4,000 miles
from the center of the Earth.  What if all of the earth's mass was crammed into
the size of a bean.  Then you could get 1 inch from it, and at that distance from
the mass of the Earth, you would weigh 25,344,000,000 pounds. 
But Earth's mass is not enough to make a black hole.  That takes a minimum
of about 3 times the mass of the sun, which is right about 1 million times the
Earth's mass.   THEN you can get a lightweight black hole.
Do you see how it works now ?

I know.  It all seems too fantastic to be true. 
It sure does.

Which statements describe kinetic and potential energy? Check all that apply.
Maru [420]

Answer:

First option, third option, fourth option, and the fifth option.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is energy an object has when it's motion, the greater the speed the greater the kinetic energy. For example, a car moving and increasing in speed is kinetic energy since the object is in motion. If the car stops and parks in a parking lot that is potential energy. Potential energy is the amount of energy an object has when it's at rest or not in motion.

So, the answer for this question is as followed first option or "energy can be stored in the position of an object." Third option or "Energy can be stored in the position of the particles that make up a substance." Fourth option or "Energy exists as movement of the particles of a substance." The last answer will be the fifth option or "Energy is greater in faster-moving particles than in slower-moving particles."

Hope this helps.
