Conservation of energy is explained as a scientific law and not a _______ because it does not explain why energy is conserved

Physics
1 answer:
AURORKA [14]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Theory

Explanation:

Conservation of energy is explained as a scientific law and not a theory because it does not explain why energy is conserved.

A law is a the statement of a scientific fact. It is a product of repeated experiment and observation through time. Most laws do not explain the reason for the logic behind their premise.

A theory on the other hand provides an explanation for an observed phenomenon. Most theories are no immutable. They are often changed when new finds are reported or made.

Laws are immutable and they stand still.

The sum of 24.686 m, 2.343 m and 3.21 m with correct significant figures is
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

30.24m

Explanation:

When adding numbers together, we round to the smallest number of decimal places of the numbers, which is 2 decimal places in this case.

24.686m + 2.343m + 3.21m = 30.23<u>9</u> m

                                             ≈ 30.24m (round to 2 d.p.)

When you round numbers to a certain digit (hundredth in this case), you would want to look on the digit on its right (thousandth in this case). If that digit is 1-4, you round the digit down. If that digit is 5-9, you round the digit up. Since the digit in the thousandths place is 9, you round the hundredth digit up from 3 to 4.

How temperature, surface tension and the diameter of the tube affect capillary action.​
Alexus [3.1K]

The surface tension acts to hold the surface intact. Capillary action occurs when the adhesion to the surface material is stronger than the cohesive forces between the water molecules. ... Water wants to stick to the glass and surface tension will push the water up, until the force of gravity prevents further rise.

Narrower tube openings allow capillary action to pull water higher

Using examples, explain why the first and second Newton laws of motion are significant for living organisms.
Triss [41]

Answer:

1) Newton's first law of motion states an object will remain at rest or in uniform will be in uniform motion in a straight line unless a force acts on it

2) Newton's second law states the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the applied force acting on an object and inversely proportional to the mass of the object

Explanation:

1) With Newton's first law, we are able arrange things within a space and schedule meetings in time knowing that they will remain in place unless an external force changes their positions

2) An example of Newton's second law of motion is that small objects such as a ball are easily accelerated and can be given appreciable acceleration for flight by single, one time contact (such as kicking the ball) while larger objects such as a rock require sustained force application to change their location.
