Describe how we can use scientific knowledge and reasoning to help guide us when making decisions

1 answer:

7 0

<span>A very simple example is the light bulb question. If the light bulb in your room goes out, scientific reasoning will first attribute it to a short circuit. Then, after setting up the hypothesis, we go and check if changing the fuse solves the problem. if not, the hypothesis is rejected and we change the hypothesis and do another experiment.</span>

The number of bacteria in a certain population increases according to a continuous exponential growth model, with a growth rate

sveta [45]

Answer:

It would take approximately 289 hours for the population to double

Explanation:

Recall the expression for the continuous exponential growth of a population:

$N(t)=N_0\,e^{kt}$

where N(t) measures the number of individuals, No is the original population, "k" is the percent rate of growth, and "t" is the time elapsed.

In our case, we don't know No (original population, but know that we want it to double in a certain elapsed "t". We also have in mind that the percent rate "k" would be expressed in mathematical form as: 0.0024 (mathematical form of the given percent growth rate).

So we need to solve for "t" in the following equation:

$2\,N_0=N_0\,e^{0.0024\,t}\\\frac{2\,N_0}{N_0} =e^{0.0024\,t}\\2=e^{0.0024\,t}\\ln(2)=0.0024\,t\\t=\frac{ln(2)}{0.0024} \\t=288.811\,\, hours$

Which can be rounded to about 289 hours

Which of the following types of stars had the smallest initial mass? Blue main sequence Neutron star Red supergiant White dwarf

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

White dwarf

Explanation:

The Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram shows the mass of stars, the color, temperature and their brightness.Stars that lie below the main sequence area such as the White dwarf have the smallest initial mass.A white dwarf star has a mass less than that of the Sun.
