Let's start with an example from history. Listed below are a series of claims regarding United States President John F. Kennedy

(1917-1963). Classify each statement according to whether or not it is falsifiable.

Answer:

Note that both of the falsifiable claims in this example happen to be true. The claim about Kennedy being the 35th President is falsifiable because it can be checked against historical records. The claim that Kennedy died from a bullet in his brain is falsifiable because it could have been shown false by the medical examiner. The remaining claims are not falsifiable: Statements that call on any type of supernatural being are by definition out of the realm of science. Similarly, a claim of something being "undetectable" could not be falsified, and a claim about what Kennedy would have done if he had lived is a conjecture that cannot be disproven.

Arunner starts from rest and accelerates uniformly to a speed of 8.0 meters per
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

2.0 m/s/s

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object is the rate of change of velocity of the object.

Mathematically, it is given by:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

t is the time taken for the velocity to change from u to v

Acceleration is a vector, so it has both a magnitude and a direction.

For the runner in this problem, we have:

u = 0 is the initial velocity (he starts from rest)

v = 8.0 m/s is the final velocity

t = 4.0 s is the time taken

Substituting, we find

a=\frac{8.0-0}{4.0}=2.0 m/s^2

At the same temperature, two wires made of pure copper have different resistances. The same voltage is applied at the ends of ea
Semmy [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

As we know that the resistance of the wire is directly proportional to the length of wire and inversely proportional to the area of crossection of the wire.

As the material is copper for both the wires so the resistivity is same and the voltage is also same. As their resistance is different it means either length is different or the area of crossection is different.

lesya [120]

Answer:

This question is about matching each definition with its correct term. Please find the term matched with their appropriate definition below.

Explanation:

1. Empirical evidence: An empirical evidence is an observational evidence i.e an evidence gathered by observation or use of senses.

2. Dependent variable: Dependent variable is an experimental factor that changes in response to a change in the independent variable. In other words, it is dependent on the independent variable.

3. Applied research: Applied research is a type of research oriented at solving a present problem or need. It encompasses the production of products that can be sold for profit.

4. Hypothesis: A hypothesis in an experiment is a proposed explanation for a scientific problem that itself can be tested by experimentation. A hypothesis aims at providing a testable explanation to an observed problem.

5. Control: A control is a quantity in an experiment that remains unchanged or constant. It is kept the same by the experimenter for all groups in the experiment in order not to influence the outcome.

6. Basic research: Basic research is the research that expands knowledge in a particular area. It is the kind of research that aims at filling a knowledge void or satiating curiosity.

7. Independent variable: The independent variable is the experimental factor that is changed or manipulated deliberately by the scientist.

The lowest point in Death Valley is 85 m below sea level. The summit of nearby Mt. Whitney has an elevation of 4420 m.What is th
mario62 [17]

Answer:

\Delta E=2.87\times 10^6\ J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Depth of Death valley is 85 m below sea level, h_i=-85\ m

The summit of nearby Mt. Whitney has an elevation of 4420 m, h_f=4420\ m

Mass of the hiker, m = 65 kg

We need to find the change in potential energy. It is given by :

\Delta E=mg(h_f-h_i)

\Delta E=65\times 9.8(4420-(-85))

\Delta E=2869685\ J

or

\Delta E=2.87\times 10^6\ J

So, the change in potential energy of the hiker is 2.87\times 10^6\ J. Hence, this is the required solution.

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

v = 20.31 m/s

Explanation:

p = mv -> v = p/m = 32,500 kg*m/s / 1,600 kg = 20.31 m/s
