If two different theories describe experimental observations equally well, can one be said to be more valid than the other (assuming both use accepted rules of logic)?

Q: person's blood pressure is measured to be 129±8 mm Hg.129±8 mm Hg. What is the percent uncertainty?…

A: Pressure P = 129±8 mmWe need to determine percentage uncertainity.

A: Let r be defined as the radius and V be defined as the volume. Therefore, V=43πr3Taking…

Half Life

The concept of Half Life has numerous practical applications some of them includes figuring out the effective drug dosage to finding out when a radioactive becomes safe to use. If you look for a career in Nuclear Physics you will need this concept.
