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.

Can someone explain the law of conservation of energy?
Bad White [126]
The law of conservation of energy is:

-- Energy can't be created or destroyed.

-- Energy can't just appear out of nowhere.  If you suddenly have
more energy, then the 'extra' energy had to come from somewhere.

-- Energy can't just disappear.  If you suddenly have less energy,
then the 'missing' energy had to go somewhere.
________________________________________

There are also conservation laws for mass and electric charge.
They say exactly the same thing.  Just write 'mass' or 'charge'
in the sentences up above, in place of the word 'energy'.
________________________________________

And now I can tell you that the conservation laws for energy and mass
are actually one single law ... the conservation of mass/energy.  That's
because we discovered about 100 years ago that mass can convert
into energy, and energy can convert into mass, and it's the total of BOTH
of them that gets conserved (can't be created or destroyed).

How much mass makes how much energy ?

The answer is        E = m c²  .

If you have two objects on the edge of a cliff, how can you determine which one has the most potential energy?
True [87]

Answer: now take this with a grain of salt because I'm in middle school but I think that the more massive object has more potential energy.

Explain what voltage,current, resistance are and how they relate to Ohms law. Then give examples
SOVA2 [1]
Voltage is the difference in charge between two points.
Current is the rate the charge flows
Resistance is the tendency a material has to resist the flow of charge (current)
Combining voltage resistance and current Ohm developed the formula
V (Voltage)= I (Current) x R (Resistance)

You hold a bucket in one hand. In the bucket is a 500 g rock. You swing the bucket so the rock moves in a vertical circle 2.2 m
slavikrds [6]

Answer:v=3.28 m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of rock m=500 gm

diameter of circle d=2.2 m

radius r=\frac{2.2}{2}=1.1 m

At highest Point

mg+N=\frac{mv^2}{r}

At highest Point N=0 because mass is just balanced by centripetal Force

thus mg=\frac{mv^2}{r}

v=\sqrt{gr}

v=\sqrt{9.8\times 1.1}

v=\sqrt{10.78}

v=3.28 m/s
