Answer:

A scientific theory is an explanation of an aspect of the natural world and universe that has been repeatedly tested and verified in accordance with the scientific method, using accepted protocols of observation, measurement, and evaluation of results. Where possible, theories are tested under controlled conditions in an experiment. In circumstances not amenable to experimental testing, theories are evaluated through principles of abductive reasoning. Established scientific theories have withstood rigorous scrutiny and embody scientific knowledge.

A scientific theory differs from a scientific fact or scientific law in that a theory explains "why" or "how": a fact is a simple, basic observation, whereas a law is a statement (often a mathematical equation) about a relationship between facts. For example, Newton’s Law of Gravity is a mathematical equation that can be used to predict the attraction between bodies, but it is not a theory to explain how gravity works. Stephen Jay Gould wrote that "...facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts.

A fluid has a dynamic viscosity of 0.048 Pa.s and a specific gravity of 0.913. For the flow of such a fluid over a flat solid su
sattari [20]

Answer:

Explanation:

First we should recall how Newton's laws relates shear stress to a fluid's velocity profile:

\tau = \mu \cfrac{\partial v}{\partial y}

where tau is the shear stress, mu is viscosity, v is the fluid's velocity and y is the direction perpendicular to flow.

Now, in this case we have a parabolic velocity profile, and also we know that the fluid's velocity is zero at the boundary (no-slip condition) and that the vertex (maximum) is at y=75 \, mm and the velocity at that point is 1.125 \, m/s

We can put that in mathematical terms as:

v(y)= A+ By +Cy^2 \\v(0) = 0\\v(75 \, mm) = 1.125 \, m/s\\v'(75 \, mm) = 0\\

From the no-slip condition, we can deduce that A=0 and so we are left with just two terms:

v(y) = By + C y ^2 \\

We know that the vertex is at y= 75 \, mm and so we can rewrite the last equation as:

v(y) = k(y-75 \, mm) ^2+h

where k and h are constants to be determined. First we check that v( 75 \, mm) = 1.125 \,  m/s :

v( 75 \, mm) = k(75 \, mm -75 \, mm) ^2+h = h = 1.125 \, m/s\\\\h= v_{max} = 1.125 \,  m/s

So we found that h was the maximum velocity for the fluid, now we have to determine k, for that we need to make use of the no-slip condition.

v( 0) = k( -75 \, mm) ^2+  1.125 \,  m/s= 0 \quad (no \, \textendash slip)  \\\\k= - \cfrac{ 1.125 \, m/s }{(75 \, mm ) ^2} = - \cfrac{ 1125 \, mm/s }{(75 \, mm ) ^2}\\\\k= -  \cfrac{0.2}{mm \times s}

And thus we find that the final expression for the fluid's velocity is:

v( y) = 1125-  0.2 ( y -75 ) ^2

where v is in mm/s and y is in mm.

In SI units it would be:

v( y) = 1.125-  200 ( y -0.075 ) ^2

To calculate the shear stress, we need to take the derivative of this expression and multiply by the fluid's viscosity:

\tau = \mu \cfrac{\partial v}{\partial y}

\tau =0.048\,   \cdot  (-400) ( y-0.075   )

for y= 0.050 \, m we have:

\tau =0.048\,   \cdot  (-400) ( 0.050 -0.075   ) = 0.48\, Pa

Which is our final result

Consider a cylindrical nickel wire 1.8 mm in diameter and 2.6 × 104 mm long. Calculate its elongation when a load of 290 N is ap
telo118 [61]

Answer:

e = 3.97*10^-4

Explanation:

1.8 mm = 0.0018 m

2.6*10^4 mm = 26 m

Elongation is The ratio between the stretched length and the original length.

e = L/L0

This is calculated with Hooke's law:

e = σ/E

Where

σ: normal stress

E: elastic constant

σ = P/A

Where

P: normal load

A: cross section

A = π/4 * d^2

Therefore:

e = P / (A * E)

e = 4 * P / (π * d^2 * E)

e = 4 * 290 / (π * 0.0018^2 * 207*10^9) = 3.97*10^-4

Coulomb's Law Two point charges experience an attractive force of 10.8 N when they are separated by 2.4 m. VWhat force in newton
SashulF [63]

Answer:

The force between the charges when the separation decreases to 0.7 meters equals 126.955 Newtons

Explanation:

We know that for two point charges of magnitude q_{1},q_{2} the magnitude of force between them is given by

F=\frac{k_{e}q_{1}\cdot q_{2}}{r^{2}}

where

k_{e} is constant

r is the separation between the charges

Initially when the charges are separated by 2.4 meters the force can be calculated as

F_{1}=\frac{k_{e}\cdot q_{1}q_{2}}{2.4^{2}}\\\\10.8=\frac{k_{e}\cdot q_{1}q_{2}}{2.4^{2}}\\\\\therefore k_{e}\cdot q_{1}q_{2}=10.8\times 2.4^{2}=62.208

Now when the separation is reduced to 0.7 meters the force is similarly calculated as

F_{2}=\frac{k_{e}\cdot q_{1}q_{2}}{0.7^{2}}

Applying value of the constant we get

F_{1}=\frac{62.208}{0.7^{2}}

Thus F_{2}=126.955Newtons
