The main part of Dalton's theory that remains true is that the atoms are not created, destroyed or splited during a chemical reaction which is the principle of the mass conservation law applied to the chemical reactions.
Two wrong points are that Dalton affirmed that the atoms could no be divided into smaller particles (atoms can be divided into several subatomic particles) and that the atoms of a same element are identicals (isotopes are atoms of a same element that differ in the number of neutrons)
Answer:
Gasoline will float
Asphalt will sink
Cork will float
Explanation:
Simply compare the value of each object's density to that of the sea water (1.025 g/ml). If the density of the object is less than that of the water, the object will float due to the buoyance force.
Contrarily, if the density of the object is larger than that of sea water, the object will sink.
Gasoline, with density 0.66 g/ml which is less than that of sea water, will float.
Gasoline, with density 1.2 g/ml which is more than that of sea water, will sink.
Cork, with density 0.26 g/ml which is less than that of sea water, will float.
This is more to do with mathematics than physics,
but the square root of gravity on its own means nothing, its simply a acceleration due to gravity near the earth surface.
trying to find the speed of a falling object is a simple conservation of energy problem, then it has a meaning in that context.
however standing alone, it has no bearing to the real world. it is simply a mathematical term or construct we use in order to explain the real world. you see this all over the place in physics, you just have to get used to it.
for example:
mv^2=mhg
v^2=gh
v= SQRT(gh)
=SQRT(g)SQRT(h)
so SQRT means nothing on its own, simply a mathematical term to used to calculate the effects and actions in the real world.
i cant really compare it to Pi, sorry
but i hope you have a better understanding :)
Answer:
Explanation:
the shape of the continents are all different, but they look like they match if you put them together. The theory of continental drift is most likely true because the continents do look like they have had a connection.
