Why is Einstein's description of gravity called a theory, while Newton's is a law?

Ludmilka [50]

Albert Einstein came up with the theory of general relativity to explain the law of gravity, whilst Newton's three laws of gravity is universal. To understand this further, it's best to understand it in scientific terms.

The weird thing about science is that words that are used in a colloquial sense may have a completely opposite definition in scientific terms.

A law in science is a constant and invariable statement that is universal. Wherever you may be in the universe, Newton's three laws of gravity will always be applied.

The word "theory" doesn't imply conjecture or an idea someone made up after a night of drinking. In science, a theory is the highest level of certainty behind mathematical proof -- which isn't even a part of science, obviously. A theory has to be substantiated by all available evidence and contradicted by none. All theories also have to have to be falsifiable. For this reason, theories can never be proven. Einstein's theory of general relativity has great predictive power, but in some cases, the predictions aren't always constant. Theories are often revised to fit new available evidence.

at certain times the demand for electric energy is low and electric energy is used to pump water to a reservoir 45 m above the g

Readme [11.4K]

The mass of water that must be raised is $5.25\cdot 10^7 kg$

Explanation:

Since the process is 70% efficiency, the power in output to the turbine can be written as

$P_{out} = 0.70 P_{in}$

where $P_{in}$ is the power in input.

The power in input can be written as

$P_{in} = \frac{W}{t}$

where

W is the work done in lifting the water

t = 3 h = 10,800 s is the time elapsed

The work done in lifting the water is given by

$W=mgh$

where

m is the mass of water

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

h = 45 m is the height at which the water is lifted

Combining the three equations together, we get:

$P_{out} = 0.70 \frac{mgh}{t}$

Where

$P_{out} = 150 MW = 150\cdot 10^6 W$

And solving for m, we find:

$m=\frac{Pt}{0.70gh}=\frac{(1.50\cdot 10^6)(10800)}{(0.70)(9.8)(45)}=5.25\cdot 10^7 kg$

A projectile is launched diagonally into the air and has a hang time of 24.5 seconds. Approximately how much time is required fo

Rasek [7]

Answer:

$t=12.25\ seconds$

Explanation:

Diagonal Launch

It's referred to as a situation where an object is thrown in free air forming an angle with the horizontal. The object then describes a known path called a parabola, where there are x and y components of the speed, displacement, and acceleration.

The object will eventually reach its maximum height (apex) and then it will return to the height from which it was launched. The equation for the height at any time t is

$x=v_ocos\theta t$

$\displaystyle y=y_o+v_osin\theta \ t-\frac{gt^2}{2}$

Where vo is the magnitude of the initial velocity, $\theta$ is the angle, t is the time and g is the acceleration of gravity

The maximum height the object can reach can be computed as

$\displaystyle t=\frac{v_osin\theta}{g}$

There are two times where the value of y is $y_o$ when t=0 (at launching time) and when it goes back to the same level. We need to find that time t by making $y=y_o$
