Because some scientific theories are true and some are false

Answer:

A scientific theory is a well-explained idea which is established after performing the experiments which provide the evidence in support of the hypothesis.

The theory can be modified as well as can be rejected with time as the advancement in the technology can provide new facts which could be added in the existed theory or contradictory facts which could lead to the rejection of the theory.  

The generation of new data can shift the paradigm of science on the basis of which the scientific theory is based.

A train starts from rest and travels for 5.0 s with a uniform acceleration of 1.5 m/s2. What is the final velocity of the train?
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

Final speed of the train is 7.5 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Uniform acceleration of the train is, a = 1.5 m/s²

It starts from rest and travels for 5.0 s. We have to find the final velocity of the train. By using first equation of motion as :

v=u+at

Here, train starts from rest so, u = 0

v=0+1.5\ m/s^2\times 5\ s  

v = 7.5 m/s

So, the final velocity of the train is 7.5 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Suppose you wish to fabricate a uniform wire out of 1.10 g of copper. If the wire is to have a resistance R = 0.390 Ω, and if al
Citrus2011 [14]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to volume, as a function of length and area, as of mass and density. Later we will take the same concept of resistance and resistivity, equal to the length per unit area. Once obtained from the known constants it will be possible to obtain the area by matching the two equations:

Mass of copper wire(m) = 1.10g = 1.10*10^{-3} kg

Density (\rho)= 8.92*10^3kg/m^3

Resistively of copper (\gamma) = 1.7*10^{-8}\Omega \cdot m

Resistance (R) = 0.390\Omega

Volume is defined as,

V= lA \text{ and }\frac{m}{\rho}

lA= \frac{1.10*10^{-3}}{8.92*10^3}

lA = 1.233*10^{-7} m^3 (1)

We know that,

\frac{l}{A} = \frac{R}{\gamma}

\frac{l}{A}= \frac{0.390\Omega}{1.7*10^{-8}\Omega m}

\frac{l}{A} = 2.2941*10^7 m^{-1} (2)

Multiplying equation we have

l^2 = (1.233*10^{-7})( 2.2941*10^7)

l^2 = 2.8286m^2

l =\sqrt{2.8286m^2}

l = 1.68m

Therefore the length of the wire is 1.68m

A motorcycle stops at a red light and then gains a speed of 12 m/s in 15s. What's its acceleration?
erastova [34]

Option a) 0.8 m/s² is the correct answer

the acceleration of the motorcycle is 0.8 m/s²

Given the data in the question;

Since the motorcycle stopped then, initial speed u = 0 m/s

final speed v = 12 m/s

time t = 15 s

acceleration = ?

To get our acceleration, we use the first equation of motion.

This equation states that;

v = u + at

so, we simply substitute in our given values

12 m/s = 0 m/s + ( a * 15s )

12 m/s = ( a * 15 s )

so we find a

a = \frac{12m/s}{15s}

a = 0.8 m/s^2

Therefore, the acceleration of the motorcycle is 0.8 m/s²

Option a) 0.8 m/s² is the correct answer
