explain why the statement “Dropped objects fall toward the ground" is a law and not a theory

Answers

Answer 1

The statement is a law because it accurately describes EVERY observation. No contradiction has ever been observed that would disprove it, or even cast doubt on it.  

(Wellll ... at least, no contradiction that wasn't immediately and easily explainable, like dropping a helium balloon, or a sheet of paper in a high wind.)

Answer 2

The statement is legal because it accurately describes all that is seen. No controversy has ever arisen to disprove it or cause it to doubt.

What is gravity?

The force of gravity is the force that the planet or another body of gravity absorbs. Gravity holds all the planets in orbit around the sun.

What causes gravity?

The greater the size of the two objects and the shorter the distance between them, the stronger the gravitational force. We also know that gravity can work in a complex system with several components.

Question 5(Multiple Choice Worth 4 points) (01.04 MC) Which of the following correctly describes the relationship between speed and velocity? Speed is the change in velocity over time; velocity is distance plus direction. Speed is the change in distance over time; velocity is speed plus direction. Speed is distance plus direction; velocity is speed plus time. Speed is the change in acceleration; velocity is distance over time.

Answers

Answer:

Speed is the change in distance over time; velocity is speed plus direction

Explanation:

Speed is defined as the change in distance covered by a body with respect to time while velocity the change in displacement of a body with respect to time. Speed is a scalar quantity since it does not specifies direction while velocity is a vector quantity because it specifies both magnitude and direction.

Speed can only be equal to the velocity if it also specifies direction.

Based on the definition above, it can be concluded that speed is the change in distance over time and velocity is speed plus direction.

Answer:

Speed is the change in distance over time; velocity is speed plus direction.

3.If a force of 12 N is applied to an object with a mass of 2 kg, what will be its acceleration?

Answers

Answer:

6 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

The formula for force is

F = mass x acceleration

F = 12 N

mass = 2 kg

So, you can change the formula to solve for acceleration.

acceleration = F / mass

a = 12 N / 12 kg

a = 6 m/s^{2}

An object has a mass of 5.52 g and a volume of 12 mL. What is the density of the object

Answers

Answer:

0.46 g/mL

Explanation:

Density can be found using the following formula.

[tex]d=\frac{m}{v}[/tex]

where d is density, m is mass, and v is volume.

We know that the object has a mass of 5.52 grams and a volume of 12 milliliters.

m=5.52 g

v=12 mL

Substitute these values into the formula.

[tex]d=\frac{5.52 g}{12 mL}[/tex]

Divide 5.52 by 12

5.52/12=0.46

d=0.46 g/mL

The density of the object is 0.46 g/mL, and option C is correct.

If we see demand curve then we can observe that demand for good decreases when price increases and demand for good increases when price decreases.

We also know intuitively that customer are price sensitive. That is their buying behavior changes with price of goods, Consumers prefer lower priced good.

So, if business owners want to increase demand for their goods and services

they should decrease their prices.

What is the average velocity of atoms in 1.00 mol of neon (a monatomic gas) at 465 K? For m, use 0.0202 kg.

Answers

Answer: 757m/s

Explanation:

Given the following :

Mole of neon gas = 1.00 mol

Temperature = 465k

Mass = 0.0202kg

Using the ideal gas equation. For calculating the average kinetic energy molecule :

0.5(mv^2) = 3/2 nRt

Where ;

M = mass, V = volume. R = gas constant(8.31 jK-1 mol-1, t = temperature in Kelvin, n = number of moles

Plugging our values

0.5(0.0202 × v^2) = 3/2 (1 × 8.31 × 465)

0.0101 v^2 = 5796.225

v^2 = 5796.225 / 0.0101

v^2 = 573883.66

v = √573883.66

v = 757.55109m/s

v = 757m/s

A wooden object (conically shaped) has a diameter of 8cm and height of 14cm. It floats in oil with 6cm of its height above oil level. Determine (a)The density of the object (b) If the volume of oil is twice that of the object, what fraction of oil is displaced after immersing the object?

Answers

Answer:

(a) The density of the object is 316/343 × the density of the oil

(b) The fraction of oil displaced after immersing the object is 0.461 of the oil volume

Explanation:

(a) The volume, V of a cone of height, h and base diameter, D = 2×r is given by the following equation;

[tex]V = \dfrac{\pi r^{2} h}{3}[/tex]

The volume of the object is therefore;

[tex]\dfrac{\pi \times 4^{2} \times 14}{3} = 74\tfrac{2}{3}\pi \, cm^3[/tex]

Where 6 cm is above the oil level we have;

[tex]\dfrac{\pi \times \left (6 \times \dfrac{4}{14} \right )^{2} \times 6}{3} = 5\tfrac{43}{49}\pi \, cm^3[/tex] above the oil level

Therefore, volume of the oil displaced = [tex]68\tfrac{116}{147}\pi[/tex] cm³ = 216.11 cm³

The density of the object is thus;

[tex]\dfrac{68\tfrac{116}{147}\pi}{ 74\tfrac{2}{3}\pi} \times Density \ of \ the \ oil = \dfrac{316}{343} \right ) \times Density \ of \ the \ oil[/tex]

The density of the object = 316/343 × the density of the oil.

(b) The volume of the oil = 2 × Volume of the object = [tex]2 \times 74\tfrac{2}{3}\pi \, cm^3 = 149\tfrac{1}{3}\pi \, cm^3[/tex]

The fraction of the volume displaced, x, after immersing the object is given as follows;

[tex]x = \dfrac{68\tfrac{116}{147}\pi}{ 149\tfrac{1}{3}\pi} = \dfrac{158}{343} = 0.461[/tex]

The fraction of oil displaced after immersing the object = 0.461 of the volume of the oil

A plane increases its speed from 450 km/hr to 750 km/hr in 0.30 hour. What is its acceleration?

Answers

Answer:

The acceleration is found as:

a = 1000 km/h²

Explanation:

Initial speed of the plane = 450 km/h

Final speed of the plane = 750 km/h

Time taken = 0.3 h

Acceleration can be defined as the change of speed of the object divided by the time taken to bring that change

Acceleration is given as:

[tex]a=\frac{v_f-v_i}{t}[/tex]

where v(f) = 750 km/h , v(i) = 450 km/h , t = 0.3 h

Substitute the values in the equation of acceleration

[tex]a= \frac{750-450}{0.3}\\a=\frac{300}{0.3}\\a=1000 km/h^2[/tex]

This is the found result

Calculate the wavelength of an electron mass 9.1*10^-31kg moving with a velocity of 2.0*10^6m/s (h=6.63*10^-34Js) (Hint: De Broglie's wavelength)

Answers

Answer:

Wavelength, [tex]\lambda=3.64\times 10^{-10}\ m[/tex]

Explanation:

We have,

Velocity an electron is [tex]2\times 10^6\ m/s[/tex]

Mass of an electron is [tex]9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg[/tex]

It is required to find the wavelength of electron. The De-Broglie wavelength of an electron is given by :

[tex]\lambda=\dfrac{h}{mv}[/tex]

h is Planck's constant

[tex]\lambda=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 2\times 10^6}\\\\\lambda=3.64\times 10^{-10}\ m[/tex]

So, the wavelength of an electron is [tex]3.64\times 10^{-10}\ m[/tex].

B)The pin exerts a larger force on the bowling ball

C)The bowing ball exerts a larger force on the bin because it is more massive

D)Both objects blert the same magnitude of force on each other due to Newtonsard Law

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is;

D) Both objects exert the same magnitude of force on each other due to Newton's 3rd law

Explanation:

Newton's third law of motion states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction

Since the bowling ball is rolled down the alley while the pin is displaced at such a speed that it flew, we have that the velocity of the rolling ball, v₁ is less than the velocity of the flying pin v₂

Therefore, whereby force = Rate of change of momentum produced we have;

The change of momentum of the ball = m₁×(v₁ - v₁ₐ)

The change of momentum of the pin = m₂×(0 - v₂)

Hence since the pin change in movement (flight) was more suddenly than the slowing down of the ball, the action of the rolling ball is equal to the reaction of the flying pin.
