What's the difference between a hypothesis and a theory?

A. Theory" is another word for "fact;" "hypothesis" is another word for "guess."

B. Hypothesis can't be proven; theories can.

C. Theories have been confirmed through tests; hypotheses haven't.

D. Theories contain many hypotheses; a hypothesis only contains one theory.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Theories have been confirmed through tests; hypotheses haven't.

Explanation:

In simple terms, a theory is something that has been studied, tested, and validated with results whereas a hypothesis is when one "guesses" or "assumes" about something with no prior tests. In short, a hypothesis can be best understood as just a proposal while theory can be taken as a validated result.

Through various trials and tests, a theory arrives whereas a hypothesis can be the initial stage of the testing. For example, in saying that "My hypothesis is that this metal cannot bend" is just assuming or expressing one's opinion. But when the metal is tested and a definite result is found, then that becomes a theory.

So, we can say that a theory is a confirmed result after tests while a hypothesis is not tested or confirmed with a definite result.  

Thus, the correct answer is option C.

how does anodising of aluminium metal is done​

Answers

Answer:

Anodizing is an electrochemical process that converts the metal surface into a decorative, durable, corrosion-resistant, anodic oxide finish. ... Anodizing is accomplished by immersing the aluminum into an acid electrolyte bath and passing an electric current through the medium.

Answer:

Anodising is a process of forming a thick oxide layer of aluminium. Aluminium develops a thin oxide layer when exposed to air.  This Aluminium oxide coat makes it resistant to further corrosion. The resistance can be improved further by making the  oxide layer thicker. During anodising, a clean aluminium article is made the anode and is electrolysed with dilute sulphuric acid. The oxygen gas evolved at the anode reacts with aluminium to make a thicker protective oxide layer. This oxide layer can  be dyed easily to give aluminium articles an attractive finish

a study was done to find if different tire treads affect the breaking distance of a car what is the independent variable the dependent variable and the constant​

Answers

Answer:

Independent variable: Different tyre treads

Dependent variable: Breaking distance

Constant: Same car

Explanation:

In an experiment, an independent variable is that variable which the experimenter controls or manipulates to effect an outcome. In this experiment, the tyre treads are changed to see if it would affect the breaking distance, hence, the DIFFERENT TYRE TREADS is the independent variable.

On the other hand, a dependent variable is the variable that responds to the manipulation of the independent variable. In other words, it is the outcome of the experiment. In this experiment, the BREAKING DISTANCE is the responding or dependent variable.

Constant or controlled variable is that variable that is kept constant or unchanged throughout the course of the experiment. The constant, if changed, will influence the result of the experiment. The constant in this experiment is the CAR since the same car (unchanged) was used for the experiment.

What is the difference between physical and chemical properties? Give 3 examples of each.

Answers

Explanation:

1.A physical property is an aspect of matter that can be seen or measured without changing its chemical composition. Examples of physical properties include color, molecular weight, and volume.

A chemical property is observed only by changing the chemical identity of a substance. In other words, the only way to detect a chemical is to perform a chemical reaction.

2.This property measures the ability of chemical change. Examples of chemical properties are reactivity, flammability, and oxidation state.

The physical properties of a substance do not involve any chemical reaction. These include density, color, mass, hardness, freezing points, electrical properties, and the like.

Chemical properties include the reaction of chemicals with other substances. These reactions lead to the disappearance of the raw material and the appearance of new materials that have different physical and chemical properties.

3.Chemical properties can be compared to physical properties; On the contrary, they are recognizable without changing the structure of matter. However, for many properties in the field of physical chemistry and other disciplines at the boundary between chemistry and physics, the distinction can be a matter for the researcher's point of view. The properties of materials, both physical and chemical, can be seen as metaphysical; This means that it is secondary to the principle of tangible reality. Multiple metamorphic layers are also possible.

Answer:

75 Nm or 75 Joules

Explanation:

Dari pertanyaan tersebut, kami telah diberikan parameter berikut:

F1 = 10N

F2 = 5N

D = 5 Meter.

Kita diminta untuk mencari atau menghitung usaha yang dilakukan pada benda oleh dua gaya.

Rumus kerja yang dilakukan pada suatu benda dengan dua gaya =

W = (F1 + F2) × D

Dimana D = Perpindahan benda

W = (10N + 5N) × 5m

W = 15N × 5m

W = 75Nm atau 75Joules

Oleh karena itu, usaha yang dilakukan pada benda tersebut dengan dua gaya = 75Nm atau 75 Joules

Please someone explain the digestion reaction, what are the things needed for the reaction and what are the products or results? 10th grade chemistry

Answers

Answer:

Chemical digestion involves the secretions of enzymes throughout your digestive tract. These enzymes break the chemical bonds that hold food particles together. This allows food to be broken down into small, digestible parts. Digestion involves taking large portions of food and breaking them down into micronutrients small enough to be absorbed by cells. Chewing and peristalsis help with this, but they don’t make particles small enough. That’s where chemical digestion comes in.

Chemical digestion breaks down different nutrients, such as proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, into even smaller parts:

Fats break down into fatty acids and monoglycerides.

Nucleic acids break down into nucleotides.

Polysaccharides, or carbohydrate sugars, break down into monosaccharides.

Proteins break down into amino acids.

Which molecule is largest? hydrogen carbon dioxide ammonia maltose

Answers

Answer:

maltose

Explanation:

If we intend to determine the largest molecule, then we must look at the relative molecular mass of each molecule because the larger the molar mass, the larger the molecule.

Hydrogen =2 gmol-1

Carbon dioxide = 44 gmol-1

Ammonia = 17 gmol-1

Maltose= 342.3 g/mol

Hence maltose is the largest molecule among the options.

How does the number of protons affect the atom?

Answers

Protons contribute to the mass of an atom and provide a positive charge to the nucleus. The number of protons determines the identity of the element. Electrons have a negative charge. The atom is electrically neutral, the number of electrons must equal the number of protons.

Protons are the subatomic particles which has positive charge.

The protons define the element.

So for example, every element that has 1 proton is hydrogen.

Hydrogen is a gas.

Every element that has 23 protons would be vanadium.

Vanadium is a chemical element with an atomic number 23.
