The theory of plate tectonics describes how the Earth’s lithosphere is broken into plates and these plates move over the molten

magma below. Why is this considered a theory and not a law?
A. a theory is can not be proven and is based on opinion, a law is based on facts

B.A theory is developed by a single person or small group a law is developed by a large group of scientists

C. A theory can be modified as new evidence is uncovered, a law describes a relationship under certain conditions

D. A theory is developed by observing something under certain conditions and a law can be modified as new evidence is uncovered

Answer:

C

Explanation:

A theory can be changed when new evidence is found. A law doesn't change because it is universally a fact. It doesn't need new evidence to support it.

A ball is thrown with an initial velocity of u=(10i +15j) m/s. Whan it reaches the top of it trajectory neglecting air resistanc
liraira [26]

Answer:

v = (10 i ^ + 0j ^) m / s,    a = (0i ^ - 9.8 j ^) m / s²

Explanation:

This is a missile throwing exercise.

On the x axis there is no acceleration so the velocity on the x axis is constant

           v₀ₓ =  10 m / s

On the y-axis velocity is affected by the acceleration of gravity, let's use the equation

           v_y = v_{oy} - g t

           v_{y}^2 = v_{oy}^2 - 2 g (y - y_o)

at the highest point of the trajectory the vertical speed must be zero

           v_y = 0

therefore the velocity of the body is

          v = (10 i ^ + 0j ^) m / s

the acceleration is

          a = (0 i ^ - g j⁾

          a = (0i ^ - 9.8 j ^) m / s²

when a constant force acts upon an object the acceleration of the object varies inversely with its mass. when a certain constant
solong [7]

Explanation:

When a constant force acts upon an object the acceleration of the object varies inversely with its mass.

a\propto \dfrac{1}{m}

or

\dfrac{a_1}{a_2}=\dfrac{m_2}{m_1}

If m₁ = 21 kg, a₁ = 3 m/s², m₂ = 9 kg

We need to find a₂

So,

a_2=\dfrac{m_1a_1}{m_2}\\\\a_2=\dfrac{21\times 3}{9}\\\\a_2=7\ m/s^2

So, if mass is 9 kg, its acceleration is 7 m/s².

Determine the electrical force of attraction between two balloons
Deffense [45]
Force = 9x10^9 x (6x10^-7 x 6x 10^-7) / (.5)^2
= 0.013 N

Using the formula;

F = 9x10^9 x (Q1 x Q2) / r^2

A golf ball comes to rest 1.90 seconds after hitting a net. The force of the net slowed the ball down at a rate of 56.3 m/s^2. W
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The velocity of the ball when it first hit the net is Vi= 106.97 m/s

Explanation:

Vf= 0

Vi= ?

a= 56.3 m/s²

t= 1.9 s

Vf= Vi - a*t

Vi= a*t

Vi= 106.97 m/s
