Scientific experiments are specially designed to test explanations for an observed phenomenon. A student decides to conduct an e

xperiment to determine the effect that the amount of time spent in the sunlight has on the overall growth of a plant. The student will conduct the experiment using two identical plants that will only spend different amounts of time in the sunlight. All other aspects needed for growth will remain identical for each. In the experiment described, what would the amount of water given to each plant be considered?
a. an observation
b. a dependent variable
c. an independent variable
d. a control

The amount of water given is a control. D) because, if a plant grows bigger as a result of the water, and not the sun this would disrupt the experiment.

Assume that a pitcher throws a baseball so that it travels in a straight line parallel to the ground. The batter then hits the b
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

v_f = -25.9 m/s

Explanation:

- The complete question is as follows:

" Assume that a pitcher throws a baseball so that it travels in a straight line parallel to the ground. The batter then hits the ball so it goes directly back to the pitcher along the same straight line. Define the direction the pitcher originally throws the ball as the +x direction.

Now assume that the pitcher in Part D throws a 0.145-kg baseball parallel to the ground with a speed of 32 m/s in the +x direction. The batter then hits the ball so it goes directly back to the pitcher along the same straight line. What is the ball's velocity just after leaving the bat if the bat applies an impulse of −8.4N⋅s to the baseball?"

Given:

- mass of baseball m = 0.145 kg

- Speed before impact v_i = 32 m/s

- Speed after impact v_f

- Impulse applied by the bat I = - 8.4Ns

Find:

What is the ball's velocity just after leaving the bat

Solution:

- Impulse is the change in linear momentum of the ball according to Newton's second law of motion:

                              I = m* ( v_f - v_i )

- Taking the + from pitcher to batsman and - from batsman to pitcher.

- Plug in the values:

                              -8.4 = 0.145* ( v_f - (32) )

                               v_f = -57.93103 + 32

                               v_f = -25.9 m/s

Someone tells you that scientific knowledge cannot be changed or modified. How would you answer this statement?
mixer [17]
Scientific knowledge can be modified. This is because all the scientific principles that are existing now is not certain for all possible conditions. Scientific knowledge is not directly given to us, human minds work the effort of unveiling the unknown. Thus, scientists are slowly discovering the science of all natural phenomena. Along the way, they could come up with misinterpretations. Let me give a concrete example. When J.J. Thompson proposed the Plum-Pudding model, it was the widely accepted theory in the field of atomic science. However, when Rutherford did his golden foil experiment, he disproved Thompson's model and proposed the Planetary Model. Therefore, scientific knowledge is an ongoing process. Scientists would always want to disprove each other, not because they want to compete with each other. They want to discover the truth together with what they have to the best of their abilities. They are never content with just one simple principle according to one scientist. It will always be verified by a group of fellow scientists.

In the 21st century where technology is exponentially progressing, scientists would discover more of the basic principles. Hence, we would expect that scientific knowledge is constantly changing and modifying.
