A theory was not originally a hypothesis. true or false?

1 answer:

8 0

False.

Theories are hypotheses that have been shown to accurately and predictably explain results obtained through repeated experimentation, to the point where the hypothesis can be assumed to be true. Then, such a hypothesis would be considered a theory.

A boat heads north at 30 mph while a steamer heads east at 40 mph at the same time. When is the distance between them 50 mi? Ans

Reil [10]

Answer:

1 hour

Explanation:

Speed of the first boat = 30 mph

Speed of the second = 40 mph

The boats will cover different distances but the time taken will be the same.

Time taken by the boats = t

Distance = Speed × Time

Distance covered by the first boat = 30t

Distance covered by the second boat = 40t

Distance between the boats = 50 mi

From the Pythagoras theorem

$\sqrt{(30t)^2+(40t)^2}=50\\\Rightarrow \sqrt{2500t^2}=50\\\Rightarrow 50t=50\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{50}{50}=1\ hour$

Time taken by the boats when they are 50 mi away is 1 hour

A train car has a mass of 10,000 kg and is moving at +3.0 m/s. It strikes an identical train car that is at rest. The train cars

shtirl [24]

In order to compute the final velocity of the trains, we may apply the principle of conservation of momentum which is:
initial momentum = final momentum
m₁v₁ = m₂v₂

The final mass of the trains will be:
10,000 + 10,000 = 20,000 kg
Substituting the values into the equation:

10,000 * 3 = 20,000 * v
v = 1.5 m/s

The final velocity of the trains will be 1.5 m/s

Which of the following lists contains only examples of renewable sources of energy?

anyanavicka [17]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

A. wind, tidal, geothermal, and hydroelectric

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

Renewable energy sources are the energy sources that are constantly being replenished, such as sunlight, wind, and water. This means that we can use them as much as we want, and we do not have to worry about them running out.
Additionally, renewable energy sources are usually much more environmentally friendly than fossil fuels. Examples of renewable sources of energy includes; solar energy, wind energy, hydroelectric power, tidal energy, geothermal energy, etc.

A stuntwoman is going to attempt a jump across a canyon that is 77 m wide. The ramp on the far side of the canyon is 25 m lower

liq [111]

initial speed of the stuntman is given as

$v = 28 m/s$

angle of inclination is given as

$\theta = 15 degree$

now the components of the velocity is given as

$v_x = 28 cos15 = 27.04 m/s$

$v_y = 28 sin15 = 7.25 m/s$

here it is given that the ramp on the far side of the canyon is 25 m lower than the ramp from which she will leave.

So the displacement in vertical direction is given as

$\delta y = -25 m$

$\delta y = v_y * t + \frac{1}{2} at^2$

$-25 = 7.25 * t - \frac{1}{2}*9.8* t^2$

by solving above equation we have

$t = 3.12 s$

Now in the above interval of time the horizontal distance moved by it is given by

$d_x = v_x * t$

$d_x = 27.04 * 3.12 = 84.4 m$

since the canyon width is 77 m which is less than the horizontal distance covered by the stuntman so here we can say that stuntman will cross the canyon.
