Scientific laws are statements of facts produced after observed events of nature. There are usually no exceptions to how the outcome of these events unravels. Laws explain HOW nature works.
Explanation:
ON THE OTHER HAND, Theories are usually blanket principles, usually overarching, on how nature has been observed to work. Theories can evolve over time as more information is discovered, but laws are more or less static. Theories explain WHY we see nature to behave in a certain way.
In the case of this question it is scientific law that if a fluid is heated, it becomes less dense as its temperature rises.

Explanation: As the earthworm passes through the slime tube, the tube will pass over the female pore picking up eggs. The tube will continue to move down the earthworm and pass over the male pore called the spermatheca which has the stored sperm called the spermatozoa.
For the part a) we need only the momentum of the box and we have the data to find it.
Momentum is given by,
where clearly, p is the momentum, m the mass of the box and v is the velocity.
Substituting,
For part b) we need an analysis of the situation. We understand that the box on a surface that has no friction will continue to rotate at the same speed previously defined. The box can only stop with friction, so,
