<span>Science
Define</span>A body of knowledge and the process of gaining new knowledge<span>Pseudoscience
Define</span><span>Sometimes a practice or a belief claims to be science, but does not follow specific criteria. Criteria that define true science include scientific experimentation, replication of results,and peer review. Beliefs and claims that do not meet these criteria are called pseudoscience</span>

Answer:

Science tests and proves; pseudoscience relies on evidence that supports a belief or theory.

Explanation:

Both science and pseudoscience have been used by scientists for ages.

Science is a factual approach to a problem. It tests the reliability, repeatability, replicability and tests any hypothesis to see if there is solid evidence to support the claim. This is done by a series of experiments that test the hypothesis. Based on the results, the hypothesis can either be nullified (rejected) or accepted.

Pseudoscience on the other hand, relies on evidence but lacks scientific practices to support the claim. The method is filled with errors as there is no proof.

In a pickup game of dorm shuffleboard,students crazed by final exams use a broom to propel a calculus book along the dorm hallwa
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Coefficient of friction between the book and floor is 0.582.

Explanation:

Using the velocity formula;

v^2 = 2as

a = v^2/(2s)

a = 1.6^2/(2*0.9)

a = 2.56/1.8

a = 1.42 m/s^2

the force necessary to give the book the acceleration is  

F = ma = 3.5*1.42 (m is mass of the book i.e. 3.5 kg)

F = 4.98 N

The difference in the force is the friction force, which is

Ff = 25 - 4.98 = 20 N

Ff = mgμ

where μ is coefficient of friction and g is acceleration due to gravity that is 9.8 m/s^2

μ = Ff/mg

μ = 20/(3.5*9.81)

μ = 0.582

Coefficient of friction between the book and floor is 0.582.
