Greek philosophers such as Demoncritus and Aristotle had ideas about the composition of matter. For example, Demoncritus believe

d matter was made of tiny, solid spheres that he called atomos, and Aristotle thought matter was made up of earth, water, fire, and air. Aristotle's idea of matter was the accepted idea for over 2,000 years until John Dalton came up with a new theory about matter based on his experimental data. Which of the following best explains why Dalton's theory became more widely-accepted over Aristotle's theory?
A) Aristotle's theory became the law of conservation of mass when he documented phase changes of matter.

B) Dalton's theory was more complete because more respected scientists found the ideas possible.

C) Aristotle's theory did not have enough direct evidence due to poor observational tools.

D) Dalton's theory had repeated observations which were supported by extensive evidence.

Answer:

D) Dalton's theory had repeated observations which were supported by extensive evidence.

Explanation:

Dalton had a basis for this prediction and theory. He worked extensive on gases before stepping forward with the Dalton's atomic theory.

His scientific conjecture was highly corroborated with a wide array of experimental evidence and many infallible proofs.

  • Science is a logical way of reasoning that follow methodological approaches.
  • It deals with empirical experimental proofs that must have been gathered and the veracity ascertained.
  • Dalton during his time presented the scientific community with a pool of observations balanced with experimental evidences he accumulated with time.

5. Is it likely that light with frequencies higher than ultraviolet was
Vinvika [58]

Answer: YES

Explanation:

If Tia Ana exposes her eyes to light ray in which it frequency is higher than ultraviolet ray, it may result to a gradual eyes issue such as cataracts as the radiation damages the cornea and the lens in front of the eyes.

Longitudinal sound waves cannot propagate through
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

A vacuum

Explanation:

Sound waves are examples of mechanical waves. Mechanical waves are waves which are transmitted through the vibrations of the particles in a medium.

For example, sound waves in air consist of oscillations of the air particles, which vibrate back and forth (longitudinal wave) along the direction of propagation of the wave itself.

Given this definition of mechanical wave, we see that such a wave cannot propagate if there is no medium, because there are no particles that would oscillate. Therefore, among the choices given, the following one:

a vacuum

represent the only situation in which a sound wave cannot propagate through: in fact, there are no particles in a vacuum, so the oscillations cannot occur. In all other cases, instead, sound waves can propagate.
