The date the model was published.

The use of “laws” originated prior to science splitting from natural philosophy. There’s an implicit assumption that God as the creator laid down both moral and natural laws, with the theologian concerned with the former and the natural philosopher concerned with the latter.

“Theory” begins to take hold in the late 1700s and, very roughly speaking, is used to describe more complex models. “Law” eventually became nearly archaic, although still used to describe very pithy models (Amdahl’s Law, Gustafson’s Law).

The word “model” is gradually superseding both of them.

People have tried to come up with hard-and-fast rules to distinguish them, but scientists are unruly beasts, and use whatever language suits them in the moment.

Which of the following is not a nutrient? Minerals, probiotics, lipids or proteins. Why?
Tju [1.3M]
Sorta stuck between minerals and lips
Minerals; Minerals are, unlike vitamins, inorganic substances. All vitamins are identified as key nutrients: the body cannot produce them and so they must be obtained through diet; minerals are similarly identified as key nutrients. Vitamins and minerals are equally essential for the healthy functioning of the body.
But then there’s lipids
Lipids; Lipids are a group of structurally and functionally diverse organic compounds that are insoluble in water. Certain classes of lipids, such as fats, phospholipids

The potential energy stored in the compressed spring of a dart gun, with a spring constant of 32.50 N/m, is 0.640 J. Find by how
liraira [26]

Answer:

A

   x = 0.198456 \ m

B

    h  =  1.3061 \  m

C

 v =  5.06 \  m/s

D

  d = 4.0273 \  m

Explanation:

Considering the first question

From the question we are told that

   The spring constant is  k  =  32.50 N/m

    The potential energy is  PE  =  0.640 \ J

Generally the potential  energy stored in spring  is mathematically represented as   PE  =  \frac{1}{2}  *  k  *  x^2

=>    0.640=  \frac{1}{2}  * 32.50  *  x^2  

=>    x = \sqrt{0.03938}  

=>    x = 0.198456 \ m  

Considering the second question

 From the question we are told that

   The mass of the dart is  m =  0.050 kg

Generally from the law of energy conservation

         PE =  mgh

=>       0.640   =  0.050 *  9.8  *  h

=>      h  =  1.3061 \  m

Considering the third  question

   The height at which the dart was fired horizontally is  H  =   3.90\  m

Generally  from the law of energy conservation

         PE = KE

Here  KE is kinetic energy of the dart which is mathematical represented as

     KE  =  \frac{1}{2}  *  mv^2

=>      0.640 =  \frac{1}{2}  * 0.050 *  v^2

=>       v^2 = 25.6

=>       v =  5.06 \  m/s

Considering the fourth question

Generally the total time of flight of the dart is mathematically represented as

       t  =  \frac{ 2 *  H }{g}

=>     t  =  \frac{ 2 * 3.90 }{9.8 }

=>     t  =  0.7959 \ s

Generally the  horizontal distance from the equilibrium position to the ground is  mathematically represented as

       d =  v  *   t

=>     d = 5.06  *   0.7959

=>     d = 4.0273 \  m

A repelling force occurs between two charged objects when the charges are of Equal magnitude. Equal magnitude. a Unequal magnitu
Ahat [919]

Answer:

c Like/same signs

Explanation:

A repelling force occurs between two or more charged objects with the charges are of like or same sign.

  • According to Coulombs law, like charges repel on another, unlike charges attracts on another.
  • If a positive charge comes into the vicinity of another positive charge, there will be repulsion.
  • When oppositely charge species are brought near each other, there is an attraction.

Therefore, repulsion occurs when like charges are brought close to each other.

If a water wave completes one cycle in 2 seconds, what is
Novay_Z [31]

The period of a wave is the time it takes the wave to complete one cycle (at a fixed location).

So if a wave completes one cycle in <em>2 seconds</em>, then that is its period.

A railroad freight car of mass 3.34 × 104 kg collides with a stationary caboose car. They couple together, and 19.0% of the init
Tresset [83]

Answer:

4.123 * 10∧4 kg

Explanation:

mass of car M' = 3.34 * 10∧4 kg

energy loss E = 19/100  K

from law of conservation of momentum ,

                 M' V' = ( M' + M'' ) v

                        V = M' V' / ( M' + M'' )

       Initial kinetic energy is K'  = (M' V')² / 2

      final kinetic energy  K" = 81 K' /100

                                             =  (M' V')² 81 / (200)     =   ( M' + M'' ) v²/ 2

            therefore , M' / ( M' + M" ) = 0.81

 mass of caboose is ,  M" = 1.234 M' - M'

                                     M" = .234 M'

                                          = 0,234 ( 3.34 * 10∧4 kg)

                                          = 4.123 * 10∧4 kg
