Which statement below correctly identifies the difference between LAWS and THEORIES. LAWS describe phenomena (things happening i

n nature), while THEORIES explain why phenomena exist. Or LAWS are a statement of fact, while THEORIES are a statement of opinion. LAWS are based on facts, while THEORIES are based on "hunches".​

Answer: The statement that correctly identified the difference between laws and theories is

(LAWS describe phenomena (things happening in nature), while THEORIES explain why phenomena exist.)

Explanation:

LAW in the field of natural sciences is defined as a statement which describes a remarkable event( things happening in nature) after repeated close observations.

Example of law in natural science includes:

--> law of conservation of mass

--> law of conservation of energy

THEORY in the field of natural sciences is the explanation of these remarkable events after repeated observations. This helps in bringing together facts and hypothesis (ideas that can be tested with further scientific observations).

Example of theory includes:

--> kinetic theory of matter

--> Dalton's atomic theory.

Hooke's law describes a certain light spring of unstretched length 34.8 cm. When one end is attached to the top of a doorframe a
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

a) k = 1343.6\,\frac{N}{m}, b) l = 0.501\,m\,(50.1\,cm)

Explanation:

a) The Hooke's law states that spring force is directly proportional to change in length. That is to say:

F \propto \Delta l

In this case, the force is equal to the weight of the object:

F = m\cdot g

F = (8.22\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )

F = 80.614\,N

The spring constant is:

k = \frac{F}{\Delta l}

k = \frac{80.614\,N}{0.408\,m-0.348\,m}

k = 1343.6\,\frac{N}{m}

b) The length of the spring is:

F = k\cdot (l-l_{o})

l = l_{o} + \frac{F}{k}

l=0.348\,m+\frac{205\,N}{1343.6\,\frac{N}{m} }

l = 0.501\,m\,(50.1\,cm)

<h2>Hey There!</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Question 7: </h2>

 \huge\text{Graphs:}

The graph of  

• The I-V for Ohmic Metal wire conductor at constant temperature  always shows a straight line between the Current(I) plotted at Y axis and Voltage(V) plotted at X axis. Picture 1

• The I-V graph for Diode shows that first the current is zero but as we increase the potential difference(voltage), it results in the increase in the current. Picture 2

<h2>_____________________________________ </h2><h2>Question 8: </h2>

\Large\textbf{Diode:}  

A diode is a device that allows current to flow in only one direction.

\Large\textbf{Forward and Reverse Biasing:}  

Forward Bias, When a diode is forward bias (a voltage in the "forward" direction) then the P-side of the diode is attached to the positive terminal and N-side is fixed to the negative side of the battery which is connected, current flows freely through the device. The forward bias decreases the thickness of potential barrier(The potential barrier barrier in which the charge requires additional force for crossing the region)

Reverse Bias, When a diode is Reverse bias(a voltage in the "backward direction) then the P-side of the diode is connected to the negative terminal and N-side is connected to the positive terminal of the battery which is connected. The reverse bias increases the thickness of the potential barrier resulting in the flow of no current.

 \Large\textbf{Answer to the Question "Resistance"}

The Forward bias decreases the resistance of the diode whereas the reversed bias increases the resistance of the diode. As in forward biasing the current is easily flowing through the circuit whereas reverse bias does not allow the current to flow through it.
