A hypothesis is a guess based off of previous dater or simply reasoning for the most logical outcome.

A theory is a statement that has evidence and facts supporting it but still has room for change or error.

A law is a proven statement that works in every possible case without exception and will never be disproved (unless it was wrongly named a law in the first place).

Tsunami waves are almost the same as ripples caused by throwing a rock into a pond. what is the major difference between the two

Naddik [55]

Given that Tsunami waves are almost the same as ripples since they both caused by throwing a rock into the pond, the major difference between the two is that the energy source of tsunami waves is much greater compared to ripples. Ripples are just transverse waves. Hope this answers your question.

In the Boyle’s law experiment, what was used to increase the pressure on the air (gas)?

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

Volume.

Explanation:

Boyle’s law experiment :

This is also known as Mariotte's law or in the other words it is also known as Boyle–Mariotte law.

This law tell us about the variation of gas pressure when the volume of the gas changes at the constant temperature.According to this law the abslute pressure is inversely proportional to the volume .

We can say that

$P\alpha \dfrac{1}{V}$

Where P=Pressure

V=Volume

PV = K

K=Constant

When volume decrease then the pressure of the gas will increase.

That is why the answer is "Volume".

I need help with this please thank you!

Tresset [83]

D. A beam balance does not measure mass; it measures weight. The gravitational force of attraction between the earth and an object depend on the mass of the object. ... The beam balance measures the force F exerted by the mass on the beam balance
