I was about to say: because people generally get comfortable with
what they think they know, and don't like the discomfort of being told
that they have to change something they're comfortable with.
But then I thought about it a little bit more, and I have a different answer.
"Society" might initially reject a new scientific theory, because 'society'
is totally unequipped to render judgement of any kind regarding any
development in Science.
First of all, 'Society' is a thing that's made of a bunch of people, so it's
inherently unequipped to deal with scientific news. Anything that 'Society'
decides has a lot of the mob psychology in it, and a public opinion poll or
a popularity contest are terrible ways to evaluate a scientific discovery.
Second, let's face it. The main ingredient that comprises 'Society' ... people ...
are generally uneducated, unknowledgeable, unqualified, and clueless in the
substance, the history, and the methods of scientific inquiry and reporting.
There may be very good reasons that some particular a new scientific theory
should be rejected, or at least seriously questioned. But believe me, 'Society'
doesn't have them.
That's pretty much why.
Answer:
Explanation:
Ok, the average speed can be calculate with the next equation:
(1)
Basically the car cover the same distance "d" two times, but at different speeds, so:
and the total time would be the time t1 required to go from A to B plus the time t2 required to go back from B to A:
From basic physics we know:
so:
Using the previous information in equation (1)
Factoring:
(2)
Finally, replacing the data in (2)
Answer:
A is the answer. Im only 12 and i hope this explanation helps you.
Explanation:
Lenz's Law of Electromagnetic Induction. Faraday's Law tells us that inducing a voltage into a conductor can be done by either passing it through a magnetic field, or by moving the magnetic field past the conductor and that if this conductor is part of a closed circuit, an electric current will flow.
Two fat black arrows are swimming along together, when they see a single skinny black arrow coming toward them. They are afraid of strangers, and they know that the skinny one must be mean and tough if it's not afraid to travel alone. So they turn to the side and get out of the skinny arrow's way.
Refer to the figure below.
R = resistance.
Case 1:
The voltage source is V₁ and the current is 10 mA. Therefore
V₁ = (10 mA)R
Case 2:
The voltage source is V₂ and the current is 8 mA. Therefore
V₂ = (8 mA)R
Case 3:
The voltage across the resistance is V₁ - V₂. Therefore the current I is given by
V₁ - V₂ = IR
10R - 8R = (I mA)R
2 = I
The current is 2 mA.
Answer: 2 mA
