Classify each possible hypothesis about a medicinal aloe vera plant as falsifiable or non-falsifiable.
pychu [463]

Answer:

Aloe vera is a succulent plant species ( with fleshy water storing tissue) belonging to the genus Aloe.

It is used in many products ( including beverages, cosmetic products as gel, medicinal ointments). Its juice is quite bitter in taste. It is known to be the best skin moisturizer and can be used for healing wounds by enhancing the renewal of damaged cells. It is also used as an anticarcinogen, thus reduces the chances of cancer.

Thus, the given hypothesis can be classified as  falsifiable ( which is proven wrong) or non-falsifiable ( which is proven right) in the following way-

Falsifiable-

Aloe vera juice tastes  better than carrot juice.

Non Falsifiable-

Aloe vera gel is the best  natural skin moisturizer.

Aloe vera gel can heal  wounds by boosting  cell renewal.

Drinking aloe juice can  reduce the risk of lung  cancer.

A person on a cruise ship is doing laps on the promenade deck. On one portion of the track the person is moving north with a spe
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

T<u>he direction of motion</u> of the person relative to the water is <u>16.7° north of east.</u>

Why?

We can solve the problem by applying the Pitagorean Theorem, where the first speed (to the north) and the second speed (to the east) corresponds to two legs of the right triangle formed with them. (north and east directions are perpendicular each other)

We can calculate the angle that give the direction using the following formula:

Tan(\alpha)=\frac{NorthSpeed}{EastSpeed}\\\\Tan(\alpha)^{-1}=Tan(\frac{NorthSpeed}{EastSpeed})^{-1}\\\\\alpha=Tan(\frac{NorthSpeed}{EastSpeed})^{-1}

Now, substituting the given information we have:

alpha=Tan(\frac{NorthSpeed}{EastSpeed})^{-1}

\alpha =Tan(\frac{3.6\frac{m}{s} }{12\frac{m}{s} })^{-1}\\\\\alpha =Tan(0.3)^{-1}=16.69\°(North-East)=16.7\°(North-East)

Hence, we have that <u>the direction of motion</u> of the person relative to the water is 16.7° north of east.

Have a nice day!

Describe each of Newton’s Laws of Motion in ice skating. What can you design/develop to improve ice skating?
denis23 [38]

Newton's three laws of motion can be used to describe the motion of the ice skating.

<h3>Newton's first law of motion</h3>

Newton's first law of motion states that an object at rest or uniform motion in a straight line will continue in that state unless it is acted upon by an external force.

  • Based on this law, once the ice skating starts, it will continue endlessly unless external force stops it.

<h3>Newton's second law of motion</h3>

Newton's second law of motion states that the force applied to an object is directly proportional to the product of mass and acceleration of an object.

  • Based on this law, the force applied to the ice skating is equal to the product of mass and acceleration of the ice skating.

<h3>Newton's third law of motion</h3>

This law states that action and reaction are equal and opposite.

  • Based on this law, the force applied to the ice skating is equal in magnitude to the reaction of ice.

A 20-kg child running at 1.4 m/s jumps onto a playground merry-go-round that has mass 180 kg and radius 1.6m. She is moving tang
Dominik [7]

Answer:

ωf = 0.16 rad/s

Explanation:

Moment of inertia of the child = mr² = 20(1.6²) = 51.2 kg•m²

Moment of Inertia of the MGR = ½mr² = ½(180)1.6² = 230.4 kg•m²

(ASSUMING it is a uniform disk)

Initial angular momentum of the child = Iω = I(v/r) = 51.2(1.4/1.6) = 44.8 kg•m²/s

Conservation of angular momentum

44.8 = (51.2 + 230.4)ωf

ωf = 0.15909090...
