The correct answer is:

D) Scientists agree that there is an amount of attraction between any two objects, called gravity, and can describe the attraction in mathematical terms.

The explanation:

-A scientific theory is an explanation of an aspect of the natural world that can be repeatedly tested, in accordance with the scientific method, using a predefined protocol of observation and experiment.

-theory can imply that something is an unsubstantiated and speculative guess, the opposite of its meaning in science.

-Observation is part of the scientific method, but not the theory. and Experimentation is part of the scientific method, but not the theory.

So, the correct answer is D

Platinum (pt) has the fcc crystal structure, an atomic radius of 0.1387 nm, and an atomic weight of 195.08 g/mol. what is its th
prohojiy [21]
The equation to be used is written as:

ρ = nA/VcNₐ
where
ρ is the density
n is the number of atoms in unit cell (for FCC, n=4)
A is the atomic weight
Vc is the volume of the cubic cell which is equal to a³, such that a is the side length (for FCC, a = 4r/√2, where r is the radis)\
Nₐ is Avogradro's constant equal to 6.022×10²³ atoms/mol

r = 0.1387 nm*(10⁻⁹ m/nm)*(100 cm/1m) = 1.387×10⁻⁸ cm
a = 4(1.387×10⁻⁸ cm)/√2 = 3.923×10⁻⁸ cm
V = a³ = (3.923×10⁻⁸ cm)³ = 6.0376×10⁻²³ cm³

ρ = [(4 atoms)(195.08 g/mol)]/[(6.0376×10⁻²³ cm³)(6.022×10²³ atoms/mol)]
ρ = 21.46 g/cm³

A 9.4 kg dog takes a nap in a canoe and wakes up to find the canoe has drifted out onto the lake but now is stationary. He walks
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

28.2 kg

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Mass of dog, m = 9.4 kg

Velocity of the dog with respect to water, v = 0.48 m/s

Velocity of the canoe, V = - 0.16 m/s          [ - sign means velocity in opposite direction]

Now,

Let the mass of canoe be 'M'

Therefore,

From the conservation of momentum, we have

⇒ mv + MV = 0

or

⇒ 9.4 × 0.48 + M(- 0.16) = 0

or

⇒ 4.512 - 0.16M = 0

or

⇒ 0.16M = 4.512

or

⇒ M = 28.2 kg

A motor cycle travelling at 10 m/s accelerates at 4m/s for 8s.<br>what is it final velocity? ​
Vlad1618 [11]
  • Initial velocity=u=10m/s
  • Acceleration=a=4m/s^2
  • Time=t=8s

Final velocity be v

\\ \bull\tt\longmapsto v=u+at

\\ \bull\tt\longmapsto v=10+4(8)

\\ \bull\tt\longmapsto v=10+32

\\ \bull\tt\longmapsto v=42m/s

hen a constant force acts upon an object, the acceleration of the object varies inversely with its mass. When a certain constant
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Incomplete question

Complete question:

a constant force acts upon an object, the acceleration of the object varies inversely with its mass. When a certain constant force acts upon an object with mass 44kg , the acceleration of the object is 4m/s². If the same force acts upon another object whose mass is 11kg what is this object's acceleration?

Answer: 8m/s²

Explanation:

From the statement we deduced that acceleration varies inversely with mass where force was kept constant.

Therefore,

F/m = a or F = ma

For the first statement, substituting the mass and acceleration gives:

F = 44 x 4 = 88N

Applying the force above to the second mass gives us:

a = 88/11 = 8m/s²
