How does a theory differ from a theory

Both of those terms are widely used in higher education, particularly in the sciences. Their technical definitions, as well as their common underlying meanings, are precisely identical. So you can use either one without any fear of being corrected or misunderstood.

Answer:

A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment. Such fact-supported theories are not "guesses" but reliable accounts of the real world.

Very large accelerations can injure the body, especially if they last for a considerable length of time. The severity index (SI)

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

a) The severity index (SI) is 3047.749, b) The injured travels 0.345 meters during the collision.

Explanation:

a) The g-multiple of the acceleration, that is, a ratio of the person's acceleration to gravitational acceleration, is:

$a' = \frac{35\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} }{9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} }$

$a' = 3.569$

The time taken for the injured to accelerate to final speed is given by this formula under the assumption of constant acceleration:

$v_{f} = v_{o} + a \cdot t$

Where:

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

$v_{f}$ - Final speed, measured in meter per second.

$a$ - Acceleration, measured in $\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ .

$t$ - Time, measured in seconds.

$t = \frac{v_{f}-v_{o}}{a}$

$t = \frac{\left(12\,\frac{km}{h} \right)\cdot \left(1000\,\frac{m}{km} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{1}{3600}\,\frac{h}{s} \right)}{35\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} }$

$t = 0.095\,s$

Lastly, the severity index is now determined:

$SI = \frac{a'^{5}}{2\cdot t}$

$SI = \frac{3.569^{5}}{2\cdot (0.095\,s)}$

$SI = 3047.749$

b) The initial and final speed of the injured are $1.944\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $5.278\,\frac{m}{s}$ , respectively. The travelled distance can be determined from this equation of motion:

$v_{f}^{2} = v_{o}^{2} + 2\cdot a \cdot \Delta s$

Where $\Delta s$ is the travelled distance, measured in meters.

$\Delta s = \frac{v_{f}^{2}-v_{o}^{2}}{2\cdot a}$

$\Delta s = \frac{\left(5.278\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(1.944\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}}{2\cdot \left(35\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)}$

$\Delta s = 0.345\,m$ .

A laser beam is incident on two slits with a separation of 0.215 mm, and a screen is placed 5.45 m from the slits. an interferen

vladimir1956 [14]

Use: dsin(θ) = mλ where d is slit separation, m is fringe order (1 here), and
θ = 0.183
Now λ = dsin(θ) /m = (0.215e-3)(sin(0.183))/1 = 6.867e-7 or λ = 687.7nm

What is the smallest possible number of products in a decomposition reaction?

Vaselesa [24]

The smallest number of products in a decomposition reaction is two because there is 1 reactant that breaks down and when it does break down there must be two products. It is generally more, though.

a child hits a ball with a force of 350 N. (a) If the ball and bat are in contact for 0.12 is, what impulse does the ball receiv

Lina20 [59]

Explanation:

Given that,

Force with which a child hits a ball is 350 N

Time of contact is 0.12 s

We need to find the impulse received by the ball. The impulse delivered is given by :

$J=F\times t\\\\J=350\times 0.12\\\\J=42\ N-m$

So, the impulse is 42 N-m..

We know that he change in momentum is also equal to the impulse delivered.

So, impulse = 42 N-m and change in momentum =42 N-m.
