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.

What is the best description of a convergent boundary? (Do they move towards eachother, side by side past each other, away from
IrinaVladis [17]
Convergent boundaries move towards each other. They can be classified as continental-continental, or oceanic-continental.

Oceanic-Continental: Heavier oceanic plate slides under a continental plate in a process called subduction.

Continental-Continental: Tectonic plates push up against each other and often fold upwards, creating mountain ranges.

man stands on a platform that is rotating (without friction) with an angular speed of 1.2 rev/s; his arms are outstretched and h
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

w₂ = 22.6 rad/s

Explanation:

This exercise the system is formed by platform, man and bricks; For this system, when the bricks are released, the forces are internal, so the kinetic moment is conserved.

Let's write the moment two moments

initial instant. Before releasing bricks

       L₀ = I₁ w₁

final moment. After releasing the bricks

       L_{f} = I₂W₂

       L₀ = L_{f}

       I₁ w₁ = I₂ w₂

       w₂ = I₁ / I₂ w₁

let's reduce the data to the SI system

     w₁ = 1.2 rev / s (2π rad / 1rev) = 7.54 rad / s

 

 let's calculate

       w₂ = 6.0/2.0   7.54

       w₂ = 22.6 rad/s

What happen when a star dies?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
It depends on the size of the star. If it's size was normal then it cools down into White dwarf, then a black dwarf. If a really huge star dies, then we can see a "Supernova" from that.

Hope this helps!!
