Answer:

b. It was supported by observations and evidence

Explanation:

An idea becomes a theory when it is supported by observations and evidence. The idea is tested multiple times and if it gives similar results, then it is accepted and becomes a theory.

Einstein's general theory of relativity became theory when it was supported by various observations and evidence.

B. A hypothesis is just an idea. And can become a Theory if there is some evidence. However a Theory is not a law, but an idea with supportive evidence

A projectile proton with a speed of 500 m/s collides elastically with a target proton initially at rest. The two protons then mo
makkiz [27]

Answer:

(a) The speed of the target proton after the collision is:V_{2f} =433(m/s), and (b) the speed of the projectile proton after the collision is: v_{1f}=250(m/s).

Explanation:

We need to apply at the system the conservation of the linear momentum on both directions x and y, and we get for the x axle:m_{1} v_{1i} =m_{1} v_{1f}Cos\beta _{1} +m_{2} v_{2f}Cos\beta _{2}, and y axle:0=m_{1} v_{1f}Sin\beta _{1}+m_{2} v_{2f}Sin\beta _{2}. Now replacing the value given as: v_{1i}=500(m/s), \beta_{1}=+60^{o} for the projectile proton and according to the problem \beta_{1}and\beta_{2} are perpendicular so \beta_{2}=-30^{o}, and assuming that m_{1}=m_{2}, we get for x axle:500=v_{1f}Cos\beta _{1}+ v_{2f}Cos\beta _{2} and y axle: 0=v_{1f}Sin\beta _{1}+v_{2f}Sin\beta _{2}, then solving for v_{2f}, we get:v_{2f}=-v_{1f}\frac{Sin\beta_{1}}{Sin\beta_{2}}= \sqrt{3}v_{1f} and replacing at the first equation we get:500=\frac{1}{2} v_{1f} +\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} *\sqrt{3}*v_{1f}, now solving for v_{1f}, we can find the speed of the projectile proton after the collision as:v_{1f}=250(m/s) and v_{2f}=\sqrt{3}*v_{1f}=433(m/s), that is the speed of the target proton after the collision.

Light travels at a constant speed of about 300,000 km/s. This speed is referred to as the speed of light. A light year is the di
Rama09 [41]

Based on the information in the question, a light year is the distance traveled light in one year. Then if the light from the star Centauri takes 4.2 years to reach the earth, then its distance from earth is 4.2 light years.

A ball rolls up a ramp with a velocity of 8.0 m/s. How high up the ramp does it travel?
Flura [38]

The greatest height the ball will attain is 3.27 m

<h3>Data obtained from the question</h3>
  • Initial velocity (u) = 8 m/s
  • Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s (at maximum height)
  • Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
  • Maximum height (h) =?

The maximum height to which the ball can attain can be obtained as follow:

v² = u² – 2gh (since the ball is going against gravity)

0² = 8² – (2 × 9.8 × h)

0 = 64 – 19.6h

Collect like terms

0 – 64 = –19.6h

–64 = –19.6h

Divide both side by –19.6

h = –64 / –19.6h

h = 3.27 m

Thus, the greatest height the ball can attain is 3.27 m
