Science
DefineA body of knowledge and the process of gaining new knowledgePseudoscience
DefineSometimes 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

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.

A hockey player is standing on his skates on a frozen pond when an opposing player, moving with a uniform speed of 4.0 m/s, skat

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

a) $t=59.817652833125294s \approx 59.8s$

b) $D_1=894.01m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Speed of opposing player $V_2=4.0m/s$

First player chase his opponent after $t=2.80t$

Acceleration of first player $a=0.14 m/s2$

Let time of catch be $t_c$

a)Generally the Equation for distance covered is mathematically given as follows

Distance to catch First opponent

$D_1=\frac{1}{2}(0.14)t^2$

$D_1=0.07t^2$

Distance to covered Second opponent

$D_2=(2.8+t)*4$

Generally when first opponent catch the second opponent it is represented mathematically as

$D_2=D_1$

$0.07t^2=(2.8+t)*4$

$0.07t^2=11.2+4t$

$0.07t^2-4t-11.2$

$t=59.817652833125294s \approx 59.8s$

b)Generally the the total time traveled by the first opponent is mathematically given as

$D_1=\frac{t^2}{4}$

$D_1=\frac{59.8^2}{4}$

$D_1=894.01m$

As soon as a bowling ball rolls off the edge of a table its horizontal component of velocity

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

B) Remains constant

Explanation:

The motion of the ball is the motion of a projectile, which consists of two separate motions:

- A horizontal motion with constant velocity, since there are no forces acting along the horizontal direction (if we neglect air resistance)

- A vertical motion with constant acceleration, due to the presence of the force of gravity (pointing downward), that accelerates the ball towards the ground with acceleration g=9.8 m/s^2.

We are only interested in the horizontal motion of the ball: we said that there are no forces acting along the horizontal direction, therefore the horizontal component of the the velocity of the ball is constant.
