Read the following scenario and decide if it is a hypothesis, theory or law. John is an amateur astronomer who is in his second semester of high school physics.
Accordingly, he knows that objects in motion remain in motion and move at constant
velocity in a straight line until some force acts on them. John observes that all of the
planets in this solar system orbit the sun in approximately circular orbits. In addition,
the farther a planet is from the sun, the longer it takes for that planet to complete one
orbit. John discusses his observations with like-minded friends, who also observe and
verify what John has seen. Based on these consistent observations from many different
people, John concludes that there is gravity in outer space. Is this conclusion a
hypothesis, theory or law?

Cells in the nervous system have a potential difference of 70 mv across the cell membrane separating the interior of the cell from the extracellular fluid. this potential difference is maintained by ion pumps that move charged ions across the membrane. is this an emf? select the correct answer and explanation. 1)no. the ion pumps cannot separate charges; thus, they cannot create a potential difference. 2)yes. the ion pumps cannot separate charges, but they still can create a potential difference. 3)yes. the ion pumps can actively separate charge; thus, they can create a potential difference. 4)no. the ion pumps can separate charges, but they cannot create a potential difference.
