D. An educated guess that tentatively answers a question or solves a problem in the physical world which can be tested by experimentation.
4. What is the dissimilarity between a law and a theory?
A. A law is a natural phenomenon about which competent observers can agree; a theory is a general statement about the relationship of natural quantities that has been tested over and over again and has not been contradicted.
B. A law is the synthesis of a large body of information that encompasses well-tested hypotheses about certain aspects of the natural world; a theory is a general hypothesis that has been tested over and over again and has not been contradicted.

Decide the frequency of the sound coming from the speakers
: A listener is standing in front of two speakers that are producing sound of the same frequency and amplitude, except that they are vibrating out of phase. Initially, the distance among the listener and each speaker is the same (see the drawing).

Discover the maximum stretch of the spring xmax
: A simple harmonic oscillator consists of a 0.10 kg mass attached to a spring whose force constant is 0.30 N/m. The mass is displaced 0.50 meters from equilibrium in the positive x-direction (stretching the spring) and is given a positive initial velo..
