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.

Why might an electromagnet be used to pick up old cars in junk yards?

s344n2d4d5 [400]

I think the correct answer would be that because electromagnets are powerful and can be turned off and on anytime. Electromagnet is a magnet in which the magnetic field is made by the electric current that is induced to the system.

You drop your frozen rock from a green bridge. The frozen rock starts from rest (initial velocity = 0ms). The rock takes 4.3s to

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

The velocity of the frozen rock at $t = 1.5\,s$ is -14.711 meters per second.

Explanation:

The frozen rock experiments a free fall, which is a type of uniform accelerated motion due to gravity and air viscosity and earth's rotation effect are neglected. In this case, we need to find the final velocity ( $v$ ), measured in meters per second, of the frozen rock at given instant and whose kinematic formula is:

$v = v_{o} + g\cdot t$ (Eq. 1)

Where:

$v_{o}$ - Initial velocity, measured in meters per second.

$g$ - Gravity acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

$t$ - Time, measured in seconds.

If we get that $v_{o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $g = -9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ and $1.5\,s$ , then final velocity is:

$v = 0\,\frac{m}{s}+\left(-9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right) \cdot (1.5\,s)$

$v = -14.711\,\frac{m}{s}$

The velocity of the frozen rock at $t = 1.5\,s$ is -14.711 meters per second.

Calculate the work against gravity required to build the right circular cone of height 4 m and base of radius 1.2 m out of a lig

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

Work done = 35467.278 J

Explanation:

Given:

Height of the cone = 4m

radius (r) of the cone = 1.2m

Density of the cone = 600kg/m³

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

Now,

The total mass of the cone (m) = Density of the cone × volume of the cone

Volume of the cone = $\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h$

thus,

volume of the cone = $\frac{1}{3}\pi 1.2^2\times 4$ = 6.03 m³

therefore, the mass of the cone = 600 Kg/m³ × 6.03 m³ = 3619.11 kg

The center of mass for the cone lies at the $\frac{1}{4}$ times the total height

thus,

center of mass lies at, h' = $\frac{1}{4}\times4=1m$

Now, the work gone (W) against gravity is given as:

W = mgh'

W = 3619.11kg × 9.8 m/s² × 1 = 35467.278 J

What is voltage, and what is its relationship to amperage and power?

ziro4ka [17]

Explanation:

Amperage is the unit of electric current. It describes the strength of the electric current in a circuit.

The voltage is the driving force of the current in a circuit

Power is a function of voltage and current in the circuit.

Current is designate as I

Voltage as V

Power as P

I = $\frac{V}{R}$

Where R is the resistance to flow of electricity

P = I x V = $\frac{V^{2} }{R}$

The unit of power is watts and voltage is volts

Assume that the same amount of current passes through the electromagnets shown. Identify which electromagnet is stronger than th

hodyreva [135]

First electromagnet

Explanation:

The first electromagnet is the strongest and it is stronger than the given electromagnet above.

An electromagnet is a temporary magnet made by passing current through a wire wounded round an iron core or metallic core.

When current is passed through, the metal becomes magnetic.
The strength of the electromagnet depends on the number of coil round the metal core and also the intensity of current passed through it.
The higher the number of coils wounded round the metal core, the stronger the electromagnet that will be produced.
Also, the higher the intensity of electricity passed through the wire, the stronger it is.
