Why is honesty especially important in a scientist when the results of an experiment go against predictions❓❔

Because other scientists and science in general rely on their collegues' research which in turn allows development of our knowledge on the given subject. The more dont-to-earth reason may be safety. If someone performs an experiment without knowledge of its true results it might result in some danger to the safety of those perforning it without knowledge of all the risks.

What would the weight of an astronaut be on Saturn if his mass is 68 kg and acceleration of gravity on Saturn is 10.44 m/s2? Ple

alex41 [277]

Here's the part you need to know:

   (Weight of anything) =

   (the thing's mass)
times
       (acceleration of gravity in the place where the thing is) .

   Weight = (mass ) x (gravity) .

That's always true everywhere.
You should memorize it.

For the astronaut on Saturn . . .

   Weight = (mass ) x (gravity) .

   Weight = (68 kg) x (10.44 m/s²)

   = 709.92 newtons .
__________________________________

On Earth, gravity is only 9.8 m/s².
So as long as the astronaut is on Earth, his weight is only

   (68 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)

   = 666.4 newtons .

Notice that his mass is his mass ... it doesn't change
no matter where he goes.

But his weight changes in different places, because
it depends on the gravity in each place.

What are three properties of electromagnetic waves?

Zolol [24]

The three properties of electromagnetic waves are; they travel at the speed of light, they include ultraviolet waves, and they can transfer energy through empty space.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2><h3>A wave</h3>

A wave is a transmission of a disturbance. It involves transmission of energy from one point which is the source to another point.
Waves may be classified depending on the need for a transmission medium or based on the vibration of particles relative to the direction of wave motion.
Waves may be either transverse or longitudinal based on the direction of wave motion relative to the vibration of particles
Additionally waves may be classified as either electromagnetic wave or mechanical based on the need for a transmission medium.

<h3>Electromagnetic waves </h3>

Electromagnetic waves are types of waves that do not require a material medium for transmission.
All waves of the electromagnetic spectrum are electromagnetic transverse waves that do not require a material medium for transmission.
They include; radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultra-violet, x-rays, and gamma rays.
All waves of the electromagnetic spectrum travel with a speed of light, 3.0 x10^8 m/s.
Additionally, electromagnetic waves possess energy that is given by; E = hf; where h is the plank's constant and f is the frequency.
