What else can I help you with?
Is a scientific theory a controlled experiment?
No - you can use evidence from an experiment to support a theory, but they are not the same thing. A theory is an idea as to why something is, how it works, etc. that is strongly supported by evidence. An experiment is set up in order to gather information to support a theory or to help a hypothesis become a theory.
What was the main theory at the time of Rutherford's experiment of what the atom looked like?
Atoms were thought to have electrons as the only true particles prior to Rutherford's analysis of the 'gold foil experiment' and, to explain why atoms are neutral, the atom was though to be something like a pudding of positive (no particles) with the electrons stuck in the atomic pudding. Prior experiments by several scientists, culminating by studies of several gases by JJ Thomson who came to these conclusion.
Scientific theory that attempts to explain continental drift?
The theory of plate tectonics is used to explain continental drift. It suggests that the Earth's outer shell is divided into several plates that move and interact with each other, leading to the movement of continents over time. This theory helps explain phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and mountain formation.
What experiment did Antoine Lavoisier do for his atomic theory?
Lavoisier is not known for an atomic theory.
What experiment did daltons use for his atomic theory?
dalton wasnt the one who experimented with gold, rutherford was the one who did the gold foil experiment.
Can an experiment that has several variables be used to expalian a theory?
Yes it can. Most experiments will have several variables.
Can experiment that has several variables be used to explain a theory?
Yes. consider the ideal gas law PV=nRT P,V,n, and T are all variables and yet the science of thermodynamics is pretty much based on it.
Can an experiment that that several variables be used to explain a theory?
Yes. consider the ideal gas law PV=nRT P,V,n, and T are all variables and yet the science of thermodynamics is pretty much based on it.
Can an experiment that has several variables can be used to explain a theory?
Yes. consider the ideal gas law PV=nRT P,V,n, and T are all variables and yet the science of thermodynamics is pretty much based on it.
Can an experiment that has sveral variables be used to explain a theory?
Yes. A good example of which is the Ideal Gas Law. PV=nRT You have four variables and one constant.
What are control variables important in experimenting?
the reason it is important to controll the variables in an experiment is because if the variables are not controlled in an experiment it will be impossible to reproduce the experiment. which also will make it impossible to prove the theory being tested
Can an experiments that has several variables be used to explain a theory?
Yes. consider the ideal gas law PV=nRT P,V,n, and T are all variables and yet the science of thermodynamics is pretty much based on it.
Could a theory have many variables?
Yes, a theory can have multiple variables. In fact, theories often aim to explain complex phenomena by considering how different variables interact to produce certain outcomes. By including multiple variables, a theory can offer a more comprehensive understanding of the relationships between different factors.
A scientist performs an experiment The results of the experiment disagree with a scientific theory The scientist repeats the experiment several times and gets the same results The scientist then?
The scientific theory should be changed.
What is a theory and law?
A scientific Theory is when it tries to explain something in an experiment that happens repededly in nature or the natural world. A scientific law is when there is repeated behavior in an experiment but cannot be explained.
What experiment was used to discover the quantum theory?
Quantum theory was not the result of a single experiment, a single discovery, or even a single scientist. Quantum theory evolved gradually, over several decades.
How would you use theory in a sentence?
I would use the word "theory" in a sentence like this: "The scientist presented a new theory to explain the findings of the experiment."
