Scientific theories are not absolute and unquestionable truths: they are the best explanation of the data, but they can be challenged if  new data is discovered or if a new theory is found that fits to and explains the data even better!
The best answer is d: this is not an accurate description of a scientific theory!

Svetradugi [14.3K]
You have three known variables:

Acceleration - 9.8m/s^2
Time - 1.85s
Initial Velocity - 0m/s

For the first part of your question:

v = u + at&#10;&#10;v = (0)+(9.8)(1.1)&#10;&#10;v = 10.78 m/s  v=11 m/s (2 significant figures)

For the second part of your question:

v=u+at&#10;&#10;v=(0)+(9.8)(1.85)&#10;v=18.13 m/s&#10;&#10;

This still needs to be converted to m/h:

18.13m/s = 18.13\times 3600 metres/h=65628  metres/hour&#10;&#10;65628 metres/hour = 65628\div1600 mi/h = 40.7925 mi/h&#10;&#10;= 41 mi/hr (2 significant figures)&#10;

A long ramp made of cast iron is sloped at a constant angle θ = 52.0∘ above the horizontal. Small blocks, each with mass 0.42 kg
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

For cast iron we have

h = 0.92 m

For copper

h = 1.05 m

For Lead

h = 1.23 m

For Zinc

h = 2.43 m

Explanation:

As we know that final speed of the block is calculated by work energy theorem

W_f + W_g = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

now we have

-\mu_k mg cos\theta(\frac{h}{sin\theta}) + mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

now we have

v^2 = 2gh - 2\mu_k g h cot\theta

v = \sqrt{2gh(1 - \mu_k cot\theta)}

For cast iron we have

4 = \sqrt{2(9.81)(h)(1 - 0.15cot52)}

h = 0.92 m

For copper

4 = \sqrt{2(9.81)(h)(1 - 0.29cot52)}

h = 1.05 m

For Lead

4 = \sqrt{2(9.81)(h)(1 - 0.43cot52)}

h = 1.23 m

For Zinc

4 = \sqrt{2(9.81)(h)(1 - 0.85cot52)}

h = 2.43 m

You are given two unknown point charges, Q1, and Q2. At a point on the line joining them, one third of the way from Q1 to Q2 the
podryga [215]
The formula that is applicable here is E = kQ/r^2 in which the energy of attraction is proportional to the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance. In this case, 
kQ1/(r1)^2 = kQ2/(r2)^2  r1=l/3, r2=2l/3solve Q1/Q2
kQ1/(l/3)^2 = kQ2/(2l/3)^2  kQ1/(l^2/9) = kQ2/(4l^2/9)Q1/Q2 =   1/4

Average velocity is different than average speed because calculating average velocity involves ?

Direction!

Velocity is a vector quantity and speed is a scalar quantity. Vector quantities includes both magnitude and direction, while scalar quantities only have magnitude. :)

How will the magnetic field of a straight wire carrying a constant current interact with the needle of a compass? Does the inter
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

the needle will direct its North South according to the magnetic field of current carrying wire.

Explanation:

A current carrying wire always has a magnetic field around it, in circular loops. This magnetic field will be either clockwise or anticlockwise depending on the direction of current.

Right hand rule tells the direction. Place the current carrying wire in your right hand with thumb pointing the direction of current. Curl of the fingers tell the direction of current.

When the needle gets in the vicinity of the field, its poles aligns itself with the field. (previous position of the compass needle has no effect on its position in the field). The north pole and south pole will be set in the direction of magnetic field.

The distance between the needle and wire does effect the strength (accuracy) of the needle position. Strong field will create strong deflection of the needle whereas when the distance from wire increases, field weakens, thus the deflection of needle will be weak.
