The definition of theory says that a it is a hypothesis or group hypotheses. In your own words, explain why a theory is also a h

A hypothesis is a tentative and testable explanation, based on observation(s). A hypothesis can be supported or refuted through experimentation or more observation. A hypothesis can be disproven, but not proven to be true.

Answer:

A scientific theory is the in-depth explanation of a natural phenomenon occurring in nature. A theory is formed after the scientific method is followed which supports the theory. A good scientific theory is formed after a number of ideas are linked, tested and proved which are not just guesses.

Since a scientific theory is a well-substantiated and deeply explained idea which overcomes the limited explanation of a proposed hypothesis and unity of many ideas, hence, a theory can be also be known as a well-explained hypothesis.

A good example of scientific theory repeated many times is the "theory of relativity" proposed by Albert Einstein in 1915 which was tested and repeated in 1919 at the time of solar eclipse which was later repeated again by many scientists.

Consider a variety of colors of visible light (say 400 nm to 700 nm) falling onto a pair of slits.
babymother [125]

Answer:

Explanation:

The relationship between angle and wavelength for maxima and minima in Young's double slit experiment is given by

For constructive interference

d\sin \theta =m\lambda

For Destructive interference

d\sin \theta =(m+\frac{1}{2})\lambda

where \lambda =wavelength

d=slit\ width

m=order of maxima and minima

for second order maxima i.e. m=2

For smallest separation taking \lambda =400 nm, \theta =90^{\circ}

d\sin 90=2\times 400\times 10^{-9}

d=0.8\times 10^{-6}

d=0.8\mu m

An object has a position given by r = [2.0 m + (2.00 m/s)t] i + [3.0 m − (1.00 m/s^2)t^2] j, where quantities are in SI units. W
lidiya [134]

Answer: 1 m/s

Explanation:

We have an object whose position r is given by a vector, where the components X and Y are identified by the unit vectors i and j (where each unit vector is defined to have a magnitude of exactly one):

r=[2 m + (2 m/s) t] i + [3 m - (1 m/s^{2})t^{2}] j

On the other hand, velocity is defined as the variation of the position in time:

V=\frac{dr}{dt}

This means we have to derive r:

\frac{dr}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}[2 m + (2 m/s) t] i + \frac{d}{dt}[3 m - (1 m/s^{2})t^{2}] j

\frac{dr}{dt}=(2 m/s) i - (\frac{1}{2} m/s^{2} t) j This is the velocity vector

And when t=2s the velocity vector is:

\frac{dr}{dt}=(2 m/s) i - (\frac{1}{2} m/s^{2} (2 s)) j

\frac{dr}{dt}=2 m/s i - 1m/s j This is the velocity vector at 2 seconds

However, the solution is not complete yet, we have to find the module of this velocity vector, which is the speed S:

S=\sqrt {-1 m/s j + 2 m/s i}

S=\sqrt {1 m/s}

Finally:

S=1 m/s This is the speed of the object at 2 seconds

Assume the motions and currents mentioned are along the x axis and fields are in the y direction. (a) does an electric field exe
matrenka [14]
<span> (a) does an electric field exert a force on a stationary charged object? 
Yes. The force exerted by an electric field of intensity E on an object with charge q is
</span>F=qE
<span>As we can see, it doesn't depend on the speed of the object, so this force acts also when the object is stationary.

</span><span>(b) does a magnetic field do so?
No. In fact, the magnetic force exerted by a magnetic field of intensity B on an object with  charge q and speed v is
</span>F=qvB \sin \theta
where \theta is the angle between the direction of v and B.
As we can see, the value of the force F depends on the value of the speed v: if the object is stationary, then v=0, and so the force is zero as well.

<span>(c) does an electric field exert a force on a moving charged object? 
Yes, The intensity of the electric force is still
</span>F=qE
<span>as stated in point (a), and since it does not depend on the speed of the charge, the electric force is still present.

</span><span>(d) does a magnetic field do so?
</span>Yes. As we said in point b, the magnetic force is
F=qvB \sin \theta
And now the object is moving with a certain speed v, so the magnetic force F this time is different from zero.

<span>(e) does an electric field exert a force on a straight current-carrying wire?
Yes. A current in a wire consists of many charges traveling through the wire, and since the electric field always exerts a force on a charge, then the electric field exerts a force on the charges traveling through the wire.

</span><span>(f) does a magnetic field do so? 
Yes. The current in the wire consists of charges that are moving with a certain speed v, and we said that a magnetic field always exerts a force on a moving charge, so the magnetic field is exerting a magnetic force on the charges that are traveling through the wire.

</span><span>(g) does an electric field exert a force on a beam of moving electrons?
Yes. Electrons have an electric charge, and we said that the force exerted by an electric field is
</span>F=qE
<span>So, an electric field always exerts a force on an electric charge, therefore on an electron beam as well.

</span><span>(h) does a magnetic field do so?
Yes, because the electrons in the beam are moving with a certain speed v, so the magnetic force
</span>F=qvB \sin \theta
<span>is different from zero because v is different from zero.</span>

A metal, M, forms an oxide having the formula M2O3 containing 52.92% metal by mass. Determine the atomic weight in g/mole of the
irina [24]

Answer:

The atomic weight in g/mole of the metal (molar mass) is 8.87.

Explanation:

To begin, it is possible to assume that, as a sample, it has 100 g of the compound. This means that:

  • 52.92% metal: 52.92 g M
  • 47.80% oxygen: 47.80 g O

 Using the molar mass of oxygen, which is 16 g / mol, it is possible to calculate the amount of moles of oxygen present in the sample using the rule of three:

moles of oxygen=\frac{47.8g*1mol}{16g}

moles of oxygen=2.9875

The chemical formula of metal oxide tells you that:

2 M⁺³ + 3 O²⁻ ⇒ M₂O₃

In the previous equation you can see that you need 3  oxygen anions to react with two metal cations. Then:

2.9875 moles of oxygen*\frac{2 moles of metal M}{1 mol of oxygen} = 5.975 moles of metal M

You have  52.92 g  of metal in the sample, then the molar mass of the metal is:

molar mass=\frac{52.92 g}{5.975 mol}

molar mass≅ 8.87 g/mol

<u><em> The atomic weight in g/mole of the metal (molar mass) is 8.87.</em></u>

The closest match to this value is Beryllium (Be), which has an atomic mass of 9.0122 g / mol.

Where is the steering nozzle located on a pwc?
Dvinal [7]
At the rear.

PWC stands for personal watercraft, and it is a small powerboat. The main components of a PWC are the hull (body of the boat), deck (surface where people walk/stand), throttle (controls speed), steering nozzle and water intake.
