Because some scientific theories are true and some are false
atroni [7]3 years ago
5 0

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.

(HELP ASAP) A student’s cell phone battery is almost dead, and she plugs it into an electrical outlet to charge. As it charges,
Leokris [45]

Explanation:

The total energy of the system remains conserved. It just converts from one form of energy to another.

The battery of the cell phone contains chemicals. As the electricity is passed through the cell phone, the electrical energy is converted to chemical energy. As she notices that the phone is warm and after the battery has been fully charged and the student unplugs her cell phone, the phone vibrates when a message arrives, this shows the conversion of chemical energy to mechanical energy, thermal energy etc.

Hence, we can say that the correct option is (b).

A square wire, 20 cm on the side, moves at constant speed parallel to the xy-plane into a region where there is a uniform magnet
Amanda [17]

Answer:

The speed of the wire is 5 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length = 20 cm

Magnetic field = 0.1 T

Current = 10 mA

Resistance R= 10\Omega

We need to calculate the  speed of the wire

Using formula of emf

\epsilon=Bvl

Using formula of current

I=\dfrac{\epsilon}{R}

Put the value of \epsilon into the formula of current

I=\dfrac{Bvl}{R}

v=\dfrac{IR}{Bl}

v=\dfrac{10\times10^{-3}\times10}{0.1\times20\times10^{-2}}

v= 5\ m/s

Hence, The speed of the wire is 5 m/s.

How does amplitude determine loudness?
sdas [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Amplitude is a measure of the size of sound waves. It depends on the amount of energy that started the waves. Greater amplitude waves have more energy and greater intensity, so they sound louder.
