A theory is a framework of ideas and assumptions used to explain some set of observations and to make predictions about the real

world. Each of the three theories for the formation of the Moon lead to different predictions about evidence that we should find. Which of the following predictions should be true if each theory is correct? The theories of the Moon's formation make different predictions:
Coformation theory:

•The Moon and Earth should have very similar compositions.
•The Moon and Earth should have similar densities.

Capture theory:

•The Moon and Earth should have completely different compositions.
•Mathematical models should predict that the capture of a Moon-sized satellite would be likely in Earth's early history.

Impact theory:

•Earth and the Moon should have similar mantles and dissimilar cores.
•Computer simulations should predict that a collision between Earth and a Mars-sized object would produce a Moon-sized satellite with a stable orbit.

If any of the theories are true, their predictions should bear out in the actual evidence.

Answer:

All the predictions in the impact theory are true.

Explanation:

That’s because of their predictions. Modern computer simulations predict that there happened a collision between Earth and a planet named as Theia. The chunks of both planets conformed into a stable orbit and form the satellite that we know today as our Moon. Similarly, both moon and Earth share similar mantle compositions but cores are dissimilar in terms of their size and composition.

Alisiya [41]

It depends how far you travel.

If for instance you travel 1000 miles, then your speed is distance/time = 1000/5 = 200 mph

In a double-slit experiment, if the central diffraction peak contains 13 interference fringes, how many fringes are contained wi
Ronch [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Width of central diffraction peak is given by the following expression

Width of central diffraction peak= 2 λ D/ d₁

where d₁ is width of slit and D is screen distance and λ is wave length.

Width of other fringes become half , that is each of  secondary diffraction fringe is equal to

λ D/ d₁

Width of central interference  peak is given by the following expression

Width of  each of  bright fringe =  λ D/ d₂

where d₂ is width of slit and D is screen distance and λ is wave length.

Now given that the central diffraction peak contains 13 interference fringes

so ( 2 λ D/ d₁)  /  λ  D/ d₂ = 13

then (  λ D/ d₁)  /  λ  D/ d₂ = 13 / 2

= 6.5

no of fringes  contained within each secondary diffraction peak = 6.5

Which scientific term is defined as the rate at which work is accomplished?
Oliga [24]

Power is the scientific term defined as the rate at which work is accomplished. Power can be seen everywhere as it is applied to our everyday living. Power is seen when one pushes a heavy cart. It could be seen when a baseball hitter hits the ball.

) determine the density of a 32.5 g metal sample that displaces 8.39 ml of water.
sweet-ann [11.9K]
Density is the ratio of a substance's mass to its volume. On the other hand, according to Archimedes' principle, the volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of the object placed on the water. Thus, the density of the metal is equal to 8.39 mL. So, the density would be

Density = 32.5 g/8.39 mL = 3.87 g/mL
