What happens when an experiment with new information or new technology produces results that support an existing theory?

A theory does not become a law! So, C is already out.

In science, we always want to be updating and revising our information. We don't just say 'Oh, this supports my theory. Ah ha! It's proven! No more research is needed'.

The best option here will most likely be B. =)

Theory is a scientifically acceptable general principle. When an experiment with new information or new technology produces results that support an existing theory the theory is revised or updated. Correct answer:B A scientific theory is not the end result of the scientific method. With more gathered information theories can be proven or rejected, improved. Over time the accuracy of the prediction becomes greater.

Set the initial bead height to 3.00 m. Click Play. Notice that the ball makes an entire loop. What is the minimum height require

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

h> 2R

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use the conservation of energy relations

starting point. Before releasing the ball

Em₀ = U = m g h

Final point. In the highest part of the loop

Em_f = K + U = ½ m v² + ½ I w² + m g (2R)

where R is the radius of the curl, we are considering the ball as a point body.

I = m R²

v = w R

we substitute

Em_f = ½ m v² + ½ m R² (v/R) ² + 2 m g R

em_f = m v² + 2 m g R

Energy is conserved

Emo = Em_f

mgh = m v² + 2m g R

h = v² / g + 2R

The lowest velocity that the ball can have at the top of the loop is v> 0

h> 2R

When water waves meet, they can combine to form new waves. In constructive waves, a ________ amplitude wave is formed. In destru

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

In constructive waves, a greater amplitude wave is formed. In destructive waves, a wave with a smaller amplitude is formed. (option A)

Explanation:

Interference is called the superposition or sum of two or more waves. Depending mainly on the wavelengths, amplitudes and the relative distance between them, there are two types of interference: constructive or destructive.

Constructive interference occurs when there are two waves of identical or similar frequency (both have motions equal to an even number of similar wavelengths) and overlap the peak of one with the peak of the other. These effects add together and make a wave of greater amplitude. All of this is possible because the waves were in the same phase in the beginning (in the same position).

Destructive interference occurs in the opposite case to constructive. When the crest of one wave overlaps the valley of the other, they cancel out since they are in different phases when they overlap (they were in different positions). That is, as in the case of constructive waves they were added, in the case of destructive waves they cancel out (subtract).

So, In constructive waves, a greater amplitude wave is formed. In destructive waves, a wave with a smaller amplitude is formed.

A hydrogen discharge lamp emits light with two prominent wavelengths: 656 nm (red) and 486 nm (blue). The light enters a flint-g

mezya [45]

Answer:

The angle between the red and blue light is 1.7°.

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of red = 656 nm

Wavelength of blue = 486 nm

Angle = 37°

Suppose we need to find the angle between the red and blue light as it leaves the prism

$n_{r}=1.572$

$n_{b}=1.587$

We need to calculate the angle for red wavelength

Using Snell's law,

$n_{r}\sin\theta_{i}=n_{a}\sin\theta_{r}$

Put the value into the formula

$1.572\sin37=1\times\sin\theta_{r}$

$\theta_{r}=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{1.572\sin37}{1})$

$\theta_{r}=71.0^{\circ}$

We need to calculate the angle for blue wavelength

Using Snell's law,

$n_{b}\sin\theta_{i}=n_{a}\sin\theta_{b}$

Put the value into the formula

$1.587\sin37=1\times\sin\theta_{b}$

$\theta_{b}=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{1.587\sin37}{1})$

$\theta_{b}=72.7^{\circ}$

We need to calculate the angle between the red and blue light

Using formula of angle

$\Delta \theta=\theta_{b}-\theta_{r}$

Put the value into the formula

$\Delta \theta=72.7-71.0$

$\Delta \theta=1.7^{\circ}$

Hence, The angle between the red and blue light is 1.7°.

Changing the direction of current will or will not affect the strength of an electromagnet

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

he polarity of the electromagnet is determined by the direction the current. The north pole of the electromagnet is determined by using your right hand. Wrap your fingers around the coil in the same direction as the current is flowing (conventional current flows from + to -).

A 75kg hockey player is skating across the ice at a speed of 6.0m/s. What is the magnitude of the average force required to stop

liq [111]

Answer:

692.31 N

Explanation:

Applying,

F = ma............... Equation 1

Where F = Average force required to stop the player, m = mass of the player, a = acceleration of the player

But,

a = (v-u)/t............ Equation 2

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time.

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

F = m(v-u)/t............ Equation 3

From the question,

Given: m = 75 kg, u = 6.0 m/s, v = 0 m/s (to stop), t = 0.65 s

Substitute these values into equation 3

F = 75(0-6)/0.65

F = -692.31 N

Hence the average force required to stop the player is 692.31 N
