Which part of a scientific argument must be supported by valid data? claim evidence reasoning theory

2 answers:

This question is a bit ambiguous because all parts of a scientific argument must be supported by valid data. However, among the choices, the closest synonym to "valid data" would be evidence. Evidence is the body of facts or information that support a given idea.

Answer: Theory

Explanation: A claim is an interpretation based on the results of a given experiment, you first observe, and interpret the information.

Evidence is the valid data itself.

The reasoning is the approach or the "logic path" you used to reach some theory or claim.

The theory is an interpretation of the natural world, that explains why and or how some things work.

If we want to support a theory, we need to have some valid data that supports, at least, part of it, so the right answer here is theory.

Notice that claim also needs to be supported for valid data, but in the case of the claim you first get the data and then make the claim, and in the theory, the work is done in the other order.

A dockworker applies a constant horizontal force of 73.0 N to a block of ice on a smooth horizontal floor. The frictional force

vivado [14]

Answer:

a) 57.0 kg b) 24.2 m

Explanation:

a) According Newton's second law, the applied force is equal to the product of the mass times the acceleration.

As the force is constant, the acceleration is constant too.

In this case, as we have as givens the distance and the time, and also we know that the block is starting form rest, we can get the acceleration as follows:

d = 1/2 * a * t² ⇒ a = 2d / t² ⇒ a= 2* 13.0 m / (4.5)² s² = 1.28 m/s²

Replacing in the Newton's 2nd Law equation:

F = m*a ⇒ m = F/a = 73.0 N / 1.28 m/s = 57.0 Kg

b) At t=4.5 s, applying the definition of acceleration, we can get the value of the velocity at that time, as follows:

v= a* t = 1.28 m/s * 4.5 s = 5.76 m/s

If the worker stops pushing at the end of the 4. 5 s, this means (neglecting friction) that from that time omwards, no net force acts on the block, so it continues moving at constant speed.

In order to get the distance moved in the next 4.20 sec, as it is moving at constant speed, we neeed just to apply the definition of velocity:

v= Δx / Δt ⇒ Δx = v* Δt = 5.76 m/s * 4.2 m = 24.2 m

So, the total distance traveled during all the time (9.1 s) is just the sum of the 13.0 m advanced during the time when there was a constant force applied, and the last 24.2 m at constant speed, as follows:

d = 13.0 + 24.2 = 37.2 m

Ilya [14]

Answer:

a) F = -1035.385 N

b) Backwards

c) s = 15.60 m

Explanation:

Given information

$u$ = Initial Speed of Car = 15.0 m/s

$v$ = Final Speed of Car = 9.00 m/s

$t_{b}$ = Breaking Time = 1.30 s

$m$ = Mass of Car = 1040 kg

Part (a)

To find the force exerted on the car we use the following formula

$F = ma$

Where

$F$ = Force = unknown

$m$ = Mass of Car = 1040 kg

$a$ = Acceleration of Car / Deceleration of Car = unknown

To find the force (F) we need to first find the deceleration rate (a)

To find the deceleration rate we use the following formula

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

Inputting the given values

$a = \frac{15 - 9}{1.30} \\ a = -4.615$

To find the force

$F = ma \\ F = (1040)(-4.615) \\ F = (1040)(-4.615) \\ F = -1035.385 N$

Part (b)

Since the value of F is negative this means the the force was opposite the direction of motion, hence the force was backwards.

Part (c)

To find the total distance the car moved while braking we use the following formula

$v^2 = u^2 + 2as$

Where

$s$ = distance traveled

Inputting the values given

$(9)^2 = (15)^2 + 2(-4.615)s$

$s = 15.60 m$

xz_007 [3.2K]

The answer:
the full question is as follow:
A Texas rancher wants to fence off his four-sided plot of flat land. He measures the first three sides, shown as A, B, and C in Figure below , where A = 4.90 km and θC = 15°. He then correctly calculates the length and orientation of the fourth side D. What is the magnitude and direction of vector D?

As shown in the figure,
A + B + C + D = 0, so to find the magnitude and direction of vector D, we should follow the following method:
D = 0 - (A + B + C) ,
let W = - (A + B + C), so the magnitude and direction of vector D is the same of the vector W characteristics

Magnitude
A + B + C = (4.90cos7.5 - 2.48sin16 - 3.02cos15)I
+ (-4.9sin7.5 + 2.48cos16 + 3.02sin15)J
= 1.25I +2.53J
the magnitude of W= abs value of (A + B + C) = sqrt (1.25² + 2.53²)
= 2.82

the direction of D can be found by using Dx and Dy value
we know that tanθo = Dx / Dy = 1.25 / 2.53 =0.49
tanθo =0.49 it implies θo = arctan 0.49 = 26.02°

direction is 26.02°
