A. Scientific Law. The mathematics surrounding the acceleration due to gravity is a law. It is calculated from the universal law of gravity. However, the explanation of the idea of gravity is a theory. This falls back to the idea that science is about disproving ideas that we currently believe, rather than proving ideas are correct. Unless we can disprove an idea, we have to accept the possibility that it is true; the more trials we have of being unable to disprove something, the more accepted it will be. Yet, no idea can be without doubt and certainty be accepted for what it is. So, to sum it up, scientific laws are factual descriptions (by formula or word) of phenomenon which always occur given specific conditions. On the other hand, scientific theories are explanations of the causes underlying these phenomena, the explanation formulated in such a way that they can be disproven.

A) scientific law

Explanation:

Scientific laws are laws that are well oberved and proved all around the globe with different measures and different experiments this is because scientific laws they can predict a wide variation of physical phenomenoms, in this case since gravity is observable and can be proved with experiments that are consistent all around the globe, is a scientific law.

because they are cartillidge

Answer from: Quest

Answer: it will take 4.36 seconds to reach her average velocity 10.69 miles/hour.explanation: we have equation of motion $s=ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2$ ,where s is the displacement, a is the acceleration, u is the initial velocity and t is the time taken.average velocity = displacement/ time taken.average velocity = 10.69 miles/hr = 10.69*1.6*1000/(60*60) = 4.75 m/s4.75 = s/ts = 4. 1we also have acceleration = 2.18 m/s², initial velocity = 0 m/s $s=0*t+\frac{1}{2} *2.18*t^2$ $s=1.09t^2[/ 2equating equation 1 and 2 [tex]4.75t = 1.09t^2\\ \\ t=4.36 seconds.$ so it will take 4.36 seconds to reach her average velocity 10.69 miles/hour.

An engineer designs a roller coaster so that a car travels horizontally for 152 ft, then climbs 137 ft at an angle of 34.0° above the horizontal. it then moves 137 ft at an angle of 48.0° below the horizontal. if we take the initial horizontal motion of the car to be along the +x-axis, what is the car's displacement? (give the magnitude of your answer, in ft, to at least four significant figures and give the direction of your answer in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis.)

Consider a 1000 w iron whose base plate is made of 0.5 cm thick aluminum alloy 2024-t6 (ρ = 2770 kg/m3 and cp = 875 j/kg°c). the base plate has a surface area of 0.03 m2. initially, the iron is in thermal equilibrium with the ambient air at 22°c. assuming 90% of the heat generated in the resistance wires is transferred to the plate, determine the minimum time needed for the plate temperature to reach 200°c.
