Why is evolution called a scientific theory?

Physics

saveliy_v [14]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Evolution is both a fact and a theory. Evolution is widely observable in laboratory and natural populations as they change over time. The fact that we need annual flu vaccines is one example of observable evolution. At the same time, evolutionary theory explains more than observations, as the succession on the fossil record. Hence, evolution is also the scientific theory that embodies biology, including all organisms and their characteristics. In this paper, we emphasize why evolution is the most important theory in biology. Evolution explains every biological detail, similar to how history explains many aspects of a current political situation. Only evolution explains the patterns observed in the fossil record. Examples include the succession in the fossil record; we cannot find the easily fossilized mammals before 300 million years ago; after the extinction of the dinosaurs, the fossil record indicates that mammals and birds radiated throughout the planet. Additionally, the fact that we are able to construct fairly consistent phylogenetic trees using distinct genetic markers in the genome is only explained by evolutionary theory. Finally, we show that the processes that drive evolution, both on short and long time scales, are observable facts.

Answer:

 i = 0.477 10⁴ B

the current flows in the  counterclockwise

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use the Ampere law

                    ∫ B . ds = μ₀ I

Where the path is closed

Let's start by locating the current vines that are parallel to the z-axis, so it must be exterminated along the x-axis and as the specific direction is not indicated, suppose it extends along the y-axis.

From BiotSavart's law, the field must be perpendicular to the direction of the current, so the magnetic field must go in the x direction.

We apply the law of Ampere the segment parallel to the x-axis is the one that contributes to the integral, since the other two have an angle of 90º with the magnetic field

Segment on the y axis

        L₀ = (y2-y1)

        L₀ = 3-0 = 3 cm

Segment on the point x = 2 cm

        L₁ = 3-0

        L₁ = 3cm

       B L = μ₀ I

       B 2L = μ₀ I

        i = 2 L B /μ₀

        i= 2 0.03 / 4π 10⁻⁷   B

        i = 4.77 10⁴  B

The current is perpendicular to the magnetic field whereby the current flows in the  counterclockwise

Why is it so good for scientists to be skeptical
IceJOKER [234]
Its good for a scientist to be skeptical because they dont willingly accept new ideas without thoroughly going over the research themselves and attempting to disprove a theory. skeptical scientists often reveal new information through doing their own examinations of a concept, which is why they are valuable scientists
