Why is Einstein's description of gravity called a theory, while Newton's is a law?

Ludmilka [50]

Albert Einstein came up with the theory of general relativity to explain the law of gravity, whilst Newton's three laws of gravity is universal. To understand this further, it's best to understand it in scientific terms.

The weird thing about science is that words that are used in a colloquial sense may have a completely opposite definition in scientific terms.

A law in science is a constant and invariable statement that is universal. Wherever you may be in the universe, Newton's three laws of gravity will always be applied.

The word "theory" doesn't imply conjecture or an idea someone made up after a night of drinking. In science, a theory is the highest level of certainty behind mathematical proof -- which isn't even a part of science, obviously. A theory has to be substantiated by all available evidence and contradicted by none. All theories also have to have to be falsifiable. For this reason, theories can never be proven. Einstein's theory of general relativity has great predictive power, but in some cases, the predictions aren't always constant. Theories are often revised to fit new available evidence.

A child’s toy that is made to shoot ping pong balls consists of a tube, a spring (k = 18 N/m) and a catch for the spring that ca

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

The height is 3.1m

Explanation:

Here we have a conservation of energy problem, we have a conversion form eslastic potencial energy to gravitational potencial energy, so:

$E_e=\frac{1}{2}K*x^2\\E_e=\frac{1}{2}18N/m*(9.5*10^{-2}m)^2\\E_e=0.081J$

then we have only gravitational potencial energy when the ball is at its maximun height.

$E_g=m*g*h$

because all the energy was transformed Eg=Ee

$h=\frac{0.081J}{9.8m/s^2*m}$

searching the web, the mass of a ping pong ball is 2.7 gr in average. so:

$h=\frac{0.081J}{9.8m/s^2*(2.7*10^{-3}kg)}\\h=3.1m$

An hydrogen molecule consists of two hydrogen atoms whose total mass is 3.3×10−27 kg and whose moment of inertia about an axis p

dlinn [17]

Answer:

$6.9631\times 10^{-11}\ m$

Explanation:

I = Moment of inertia = $4\times 10^{-48}\ kg m^2$

m = Mass of two atoms = 2m = $3.3\times 10^{-27}\ kg$

r = distance between axis and rotation mass

Moment of inertia of the system is given by

$I=mr^2\\\Rightarrow I=2mr^2\\\Rightarrow 4\times 10^{-48}=3.3\times 10^{-27}\times r^2\\\Rightarrow r=\sqrt{\frac{4\times 10^{-48}}{3.3\times 10^{-27}}}\\\Rightarrow r=3.48155\times 10^{-11}\ m$

The distance between the atoms will be two times the distance between axis and rotation mass.

$d=2r\\\Rightarrow d=2\times 3.48155\times 10^{-11}\\\Rightarrow d=6.9631\times 10^{-11}\ m$

Therefore, the distance between the two atoms is $6.9631\times 10^{-11}\ m$
