1) science does not accept personal story's as evidence, pseudoscience relies on these story's as evidence.
2) science argues from scientific knowledge, pseudoscience argues from ignorance
3) science progresses, pseudoscience does not progress
and 4) (just in case) science holds pier review, pseudoscience does not

An apparatus like the one Cavendish used to ﬁnd G has large lead balls that are 5.2 kg in mass and small ones that are 0.046 kg.

Ber [7]

Answer:

The magnitude of gravitational force between two masses is $4.91\times 10^{-9}\ N$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of first lead ball, $m_1=5.2\ kg$

Mass of the other lead ball, $m_2=0.046\ kg$

The center of a large ball is separated by 0.057 m from the center of a small ball, r = 0.057 m

We need to find the magnitude of the gravitational force between the masses. It is given by the formula of the gravitational force. It is given by :

$F=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{r^2}\\\\F=6.67259\times 10^{-11}\times \dfrac{5.2\times 0.046}{(0.057)^2}\\\\F=4.91\times 10^{-9}\ N$

So, the magnitude of gravitational force between two masses is $4.91\times 10^{-9}\ N$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

Gravity __________ your kinetic energy when you are driving uphill and __________it when you are driving downhill.

Oxana [17]

Gravity decreases your kinetic energy when you are driving uphill since the direction of motion is opposite for both. Driving uphill is force going upward while gravity pulls object down. When it is going downhill, the car tends to go faster since the gravity helps the object to go down by adding another value to the total acceleration of the motion of the object. Using the forces of balance, an object going up tends to become heavier while object going down tends to become lighter because of the gravity factor. Another analogy is the motion of elevators going up and down that incurs effects to your weiight.

hich one of the following statements could be an operational definition of electric current?View Available Hint(s)Which one of t

klemol [59]

Answer:

it is True as the operational definition of electric current.

Explanation:

The definition of electric current is

I = dQ / dt

By convention the direction of the current is the direction in which a positive charge flows.

The initial expression is the derivative that is the change of the load in the unit of time and this occurs in a given cross-sectional cable.

The proposed definition is the same as this, so it is True as the operational definition of electric current.

You walk into a darkened room and turn on a flashlight. You see an image of the flashlight reflecting off a plane mirror in fron

user100 [1]

Answer:

4.2 is the answer

Explanation

The image formed in a plane mirror is an equal distance behind the mirror as the object in front of it.

Step 1: the equation to this problem would be: 8.4/2

Step 2: 8.4 ÷ 2 = 4.2
