A theory was not originally a hypothesis. true or false?

1 answer:

8 0

False.

Theories are hypotheses that have been shown to accurately and predictably explain results obtained through repeated experimentation, to the point where the hypothesis can be assumed to be true. Then, such a hypothesis would be considered a theory.

Number 10 and an explaination would be fabulous. thanks!

Linear momentum has to be conserved. It was zero before the thread eas burned ... when nothing was moving ... so the momentum of the masses moving in opposite directions has to add up to zero. ... Momentum = mass times speed. ... In one direction, you have 5 kg times 1/5 m/s= 1 kg-m/s. ... We need 1 kg-m/s in the other direction. ... 7 kg times speed = 1 kg-m/s. ... Can you finish it from here ?

F = 2.0*10^20 N,

natka813 [3]

$F=\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}$

With the given values of $F,G,m_1,r$ , we have

$2.0\times10^{20}\,\mathrm N=\dfrac{\left(6.67\times10^{-11}\,\frac{\mathrm{Nm}^2}{\mathrm{kg}^2}\right)\left(5.98\times10^{24}\,\mathrm{kg}\right)m_2}{\left(3.8\times10^8\,\mathrm m\right)^2}$

Try dealing with the powers of 10 first: On the right, we have

$\dfrac{10^{-11}\times10^{24}}{(10^8)^2}=\dfrac{10^{24-11}}{10^{16}}=10^{-3}$

Meanwhile, the other values on the right reduce to

$\dfrac{6.67\times5.98}{3.8^2}\approx2.76$

Then taking units into account, we end up with the equation

$2.0\times10^{20}\,\mathrm N=\left(2.76\times10^{-3}\,\dfrac{\mathrm N}{\mathrm{kg}}\right)m_2$

Now we solve for $m_2$ :

$m_2=\dfrac{2.0\times10^{20}\,\mathrm N}{2.76\times10^{-3}\,\frac{\mathrm N}{\mathrm{kg}}}\approx0.725\times10^{20-(-3)}\,\mathrm{kg}$

$m_2=7.25\times10^{22}\,\mathrm{kg}$

or, if taking significant digits into account,

$m_2=7.3\times10^{22}\,\mathrm{kg}$

Does this diagram illustrate the second law of thermodynamics? Why or why not

Savatey [412]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The diagram is not showing the second law of thermodynamics. It is the demonstration of 1st law of thermodynamics.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Second law of thermodynamics describes the entropy of the system increase with time, it does not decrease with time. It is constant for ideal systems.

While in first law of thermodynamics, it is stated that the energy of a system can not be lost but it is transferred from one form to other form.

And in this picture, it is shown that the energy released from heat source to cold sink is used in doing work.

Work and heat are forms of energy.

A _______ is a repeating disturbance or vibration that transfers or moves energy from place to place without transporting mass.

Harman [31]

Answer: wave

Explanation:

These are the basic definitions and characteristic of the terms given, which show tha the only rigth answer is the second option: wave.

1) Force is an interaction. There are four natural forces: electrostatic, gravity, strong nuclear force and weak nuclear force.

2) Wave: is a sequence of pulses or vibrations that cause the continuous transportation of energy (propagation). There is not transport of mass, only energy.

Some examples of waves are sound waves, electromagnetic waves (light, radio waves, micro waves, infrarred waves, ultraviolet waves).

3) Vacuum: is the absence of matter; empty space. Only electromagnetic waves can travel through vacuum; other waves need a medium to travel.

4) Medium: any matter is a medium: a solid, the air, a liquid, all of them are media through which waves can transport its energy, depending of the wavelength.
