Answer:

D. It will become a law when enough evidence is supported.

Explanation:

Based on observations of natural phenomenon, a possible scientific explanation is written and tested. If the results are positive, it becomes a theory. If enough evidence is gathered and can be used generally, it becomes a law. For example Newton's laws of motion are used to describe all kinds of motion on Earth.

Einstein's theory of relativity cannot be tested directly but it's indirect evidence can be gathered because it deals with speeds near to the speed of light and space-time curve.

Thus, when the scientists would gather more evidence in future supporting Einstein's theory of relativity, it would be converted to law.

Option D. is correct.

In case of collision of objects in two dimensions which statement is true after the collision?
Grace [21]

The correct answer to the question is : C) The horizontal momentum and the vertical momentum are both conserved. 

EXPLANATION :

Before coming into any conclusion, first we have to understand the law of conservation of momentum.

As per the law of conservation of momentum, the total linear as well as angular momentum of an isolated system is always conserved . The law of conservation of energy is a universal fact.

Hence, during any type of collision, the total momentum is always conserved.

Hence, the total horizontal momentum as well as total vertical momentum are always conserved during both elastic as well as inelastic collision.

The bending of waves as they pass between media is called .?
Rufina [12.5K]

Refraction is the change in direction of waves that occurs when waves travel from one medium to another. Refraction is always accompanied by a wavelength and speed change. Diffraction is the bending of waves around obstacles and openings.

A bird flies 3.7 meters in 46 seconds, what is its speed?
victus00 [196]

Answer:

Speed is 0.08 m/s.

Explanation:

Given the distance that the bird flies = 3.7 meters

The time is taken by the bird to fly the 3.7 meters = 46 seconds  

We have given distance and time. Now we have to find the speed at which the bird flies. So, to calculate the speed of the bird we have to divide the distance by the time.  

Below is the formula to find the speed.

Speed = Distance / Time

Now insert the given value in the formula.

Speed = 3.7 / 46 = 0.08 m/s
