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.

The amount of energy lost at the transition between each trophic level of the pyramid of energy is about _______. a. 10% b. 50%

Sophie [7]

The amount of energy lost at the transition between each trophic level of the pyramid of energy is about 90%.

There are a total of 4 trophic levels.

The producers which bare plants represent the first trophic level. Herbivores represent the second trophic level. Carnivores represent the third trophic level. Top carnivores represent the fourth trophic level.

The 10 % rule is followed by the energy flow in a food chain. It means that moving from one trophic level to another, only 10% of energy is transferred and the rest is lost in the atmosphere.

So the 90% percent energy is lost at the transition between each trophic level of the pyramid of energy.

A slender, uniform metal rod of mass M and length lis pivoted without friction about an axis through its midpoint andperpendicul

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

Moment of inertia of the metal rod pivoted in the middle

= M l² / 12

If the spring is compressed by small distance x twisting the rod by angle θ

restoring force by spring

= k x

moment of torque about axis

= k x l /2

= k θ( l /2 )² ( x / .5 l = θ )

moment of torque = moment of inertia of rod x angular acceleration

k θ( l /2 )² = M l² / 12 d²θ/dt²

d²θ/dt² = 3 k/M θ

acceleration = ω² θ

ω² = 3 k/M

ω = √ 3 k / M

An intravenous (IV) system is supplying saline solution to a patient at the rate of 0.06 cm3/s through a needle of radius 0.2 mm

horsena [70]

Answer:

Pressure applied to the needle is 7528 Pa

Explanation:

As we know by poiseuille's law of flow of liquid through a cylindrical pipe

the rate of flow through the pipe is given as

$Q = \frac{\Delta P \pi r^4}{8\eta L}$

now we know that

$Q = 0.06 \times 10^{-6} m^3/s$

radius = 0.2 mm

Length = 6.32 cm

$\eta = 1\times 10^{-3} Pa s$

now we have

$6 \times 10^{-8} = \frac{\Delta P \pi (0.2 \times 10^{-3})^4}{8(1 \times 10^{-3})6.32 \times 10^{-2}}$

$3.03 \times 10^{-11} = \Delta P 5.02 \times 10^{-15}$

$\Delta P = 6028 Pa$

now we have

$P - 1500 = 6028 Pa$

$P = 7528 Pa$

The overall length of a piccolo is 32.0 cm. The resonating air column vibrates as in a pipe that is open at both ends. (a) Find

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

lowest frequency = 535.93 Hz

distance between adjacent anti nodes is 4.25 cm

Explanation:

given data

length L = 32 cm = 0.32 m

to find out

frequency and distance between adjacent anti nodes

solution

we consider here speed of sound through air at room temperature 20 degree is approximately v = 343 m/s

lowest frequency will be = $\frac{v}{2L}$ ..............1

put here value in equation 1

lowest frequency will be = $\frac{343}{2(0.32)}$

lowest frequency = 535.93 Hz

and

we have given highest frequency f = 4000Hz

wavelength = $\frac{v}{f}$ ..............2

put here value

wavelength = $\frac{343}{4000}$

wavelength = 0.08575 m

so distance = $\frac{wavelength}{2}$ ..............3

distance = $\frac{0.08575}{2}$

distance = 0.0425 m

so distance between adjacent anti nodes is 4.25 cm
