Answer:

Explanation:

will try 2 explain fact, hypothesis, theory n law

fact is the starting pt: e.g. apple falls from tree

hypothesis tries 2 explain a fact: e.g. there is a force pulling down apple

theory is a complete explanation w/ equations n stuff: e.g. Newton came up w/ theory of gravitational attraction force

law is a theory dat has been proven right through tests n experiments: Newton's gravity theory had been proven right in many many tests.

Answer:

A hypothesis is a limited explanation of a phenomenon; a scientific theory is an in-depth explanation of the observed phenomenon. A law is a statement about an observed phenomenon or a unifying concept

When the displacement of a mass on a spring is 12 a the half of the amplitude, what fraction of the mechanical energy is kinetic
Sveta_85 [38]
You know that when the displacement is equal to the amplitude (A), the velocity is zero, which implies that the kinetic energy (KE) is zeero, so the total mechanical energy (ME) is the potential energy (PE).

And you know that the potential energy, PE, is [ 1/2 ] k (x^2)

Then, use x = A, to calculate the PE in the point where ME = PE.

ME = PE = [1/2] k (A)^2.

At half of the amplitude, x = A/2 => PE = [ 1/2] k (A/2)^2

=> PE = [1/4] { [1/2]k(A)^2 } = .[1/4] ME

So, if PE is 1/4 of ME, KE is 3/4 of ME.

And the answer is 3/4

Two remote control cars with masses of 1.16 kilograms and 1.98 kilograms travel toward each other at speeds of 8.64 meters per s
Black_prince [1.1K]

The initial momentum of the system can be expressed as,

p_i=m_1u_1+m_{2_{}}u_2

The final momentum of the system can be given as,

p_f=m_1v_1+m_{2_{}}v_2

According to conservation of momentum,

p_i=p_f

Plug in the known expressions,

\begin{gathered} m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2 \\ m_2v_2=m_1u_1+m_2u_2-m_1v_1 \\ v_2=\frac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2-m_1v_1}{m_2} \end{gathered}

Initially, the second mass move towards the first mass therefore the initial speed of second mass will be taken as negative and the recoil velocity of first mass is also taken as negative.

Plug in the known values,

\begin{gathered} v_2=\frac{(1.16\text{ kg)(8.64 m/s)+(1.98 kg)(-3.34 m/s)-(1.16 kg)(-2.16 m/s)}}{1.98\text{ kg}} \\ =\frac{10.02\text{ kgm/s-}6.61\text{ kgm/s+}2.51\text{ kgm/s}}{1.98\text{ kg}} \\ =\frac{5.92\text{ kgm/s}}{1.98\text{ kg}} \\ \approx2.99\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}

Thus, the final velocity of second mass is 2.99 m/s.

Describe the shape of a convex lens and explain what it does to light.
alexira [117]
Convex lenses are thicker at the centers than the edges, they are known as the converging lenses. Rays of light that pass through the lens are brought closer together (they converge). When rays of light that are parallel pass through a convex lens they are refracted, the refracted rays converge at one point called the principal focus.

The speed of sound in wood is ____ the speed of sound in water.
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

greater

Explanation:

the speed of sound in steel is greater than water. the speed of sound in wood is not, In water, the particles are much closer together, and they can quickly transmit vibration energy from one particle to the next. This means that the sound wave travels over four times faster than it would in air, but it takes a lot of energy to start the vibration.

Wood is less dense and force can make a sound.
