Textbook Question
Chapter 10, Problem 37EAP
When Is a Theory Wrong? As discussed in this cha pter, in its original form the nebular theo ry of solar system formation does not expla.in the orbits of many kno wn extrasolar planets, but it can explain them with modii icat ions such as allowing for planetary migration. Does this mean the theory was ''wrong" or only "incomplete" before the modifications were made? Explain. Be sure to look back at the discussion in Chapter 3 !Qof the nature of science and scientific theories.

- Car P moves to the west with constant speed v0 along a straight road. Car Q starts from rest at instant 1, and moves to the west with increasing speed. At instant 5, car Q has speed w0 relative to the road (w0 < v0). Instants 1-5 are separated by equal time intervals. At instant 3, cars P and Q are adjacent to one another (i.e., they have the same position). In the reference frame o f the road, at instant 3 i s the speed o f car Q greater than, less than, or equal to the speed of car P?
