At the moment, that's not a scientific hypothesis, because, at the moment, it can't be tested.

Answer:

yes

Explanation:

The hypothesis is scientific because there is no solid evidence to draw out the theory. Therefore the idea of other intelligence on other planets is scientific until found unworthy or scientifically proven wrong enough. Hope this helps a little:)

When calculating the power bill, power companies use _____.

Dovator [93]

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. When calculating the power bill, power companies use kilowatt-hours. This unit is a derived unit of energy equal to 3.6 MJ. If energy is being transmitted or used at a constant rate (power) over a period of time, the total energy in kilowatt-hours is the product of the power in kilowatts and the time.

Roughly to what height would a 5 kg stone need to be raised in order to have the same stored energy as the energy stored in the

hoa [83]

8.16m is the required height, a 5kg stone need to be raised.

One sort of potential energy is gravitational potential energy, which is equal to the product of the object's mass (m), the gravitational acceleration (g), and the object's height (h) as measured in relation to the ground's surface (the body).

We obtain the formula by considering the work done in raising a mass m through a height h.

Work in elevating mass m through height h is equal to force times distance.

The force must be greater than the mass m's weight, hence F = mg.

Work done = mgh = gravitational potential energy

Energy = Mass of the object × gravitational acceleration × height.

Mass of the stone = 5kg

Equating ;

∴ 400 J = 5 kg × 9.8 m/s² × height

Height = 8.16 m

Therefore, 8.16m is the required height.

The density of a block of wood is 694 kg/m3. Its mass is 689 g. We tie the block to the bottom of a swimming pool using a single

Serhud [2]

Answer:

<em>The tension in the string = 2.065 N</em>

Explanation:

From Archimedes principle,

R.d = density of the wood block/density of water = weight of the wood block/Upthrust of the wood block in water.

R.d = D₁/D₂ = W/U

W/U =D₁/D₂.................................. Equation 1

Where W = weight of the wood block, U = upthrust of the wood block in water, D₁ = Density of the wood block, D₂ = Density of water.

Making U the subject of the equation,

U = WD₂/D₁........................... Equation 2

Given: W = mg = (689/1000)9.8 = 6.75 N, D₁ = 694 kg/m³, D₂ = 1000 kg/m³.

Substituting these values into equation 2,

U = 6.75(694)/1000

U = 4684.5/1000

U = 4.685 N.

Note: Three forces act on the wood block in the pool. and they are

(i) The weight(W) acting downs

(ii) The upthrust (U) acting upwards,

(iii) The Tension (T) in the string, acting upwards.

Thus,

W = U+T

T = W - U ................................. Equation 3

Where W = 6.75 N, U = 4.685 N

T = 6.75 - 4.685

T = 2.065 N.

T = 2.065 N

<em>Thus the tension in the string = 2.065 N</em>

How does the speed of visible light compare with the speed of gamma rays

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

They are the same

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves consist of perpendicular oscillations of electric and magnetic field, which oscillate perpendicularly to the direction of motion of the wave (transverse wave). One property of the electromagnetic waves is that they travel in a vacuum always at the same speed, called speed of light:

$c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s$

Electromagnetic waves are classified into 7 different types according to their frequency; from highest to lowest frequency, we have:

Gamma rays

X-rays

Ultraviolet

Visible light

Infrared

Microwaves

Radio waves

We see that both visible light and gamma rays are electromagnetic waves, so they both travel in a vacuum at the same speed, the speed of light.
