How can an experiment support or fail to support a hypothesis?

Physics

<u>Explanation: </u>

The first step of formation of scientific theory or law is formation of a testable question. Then building up of a hypothesis surrounding the question. Thereafter designing an experiment to test the hypothesis.

If the result of the experiment is positive, it supports the hypotheses. On the other hand, a negative result fails to suppose the hypothesis. It is very important to carefully choose and perform the experiment because the formation of the scientific law and theory is dependent on the experiment.

a hypothesis is given to explain a phenomena which has not been explained earlier. it can proved  by an experiment if that experiment gets the other results regarding that particular phenomena in agreement with that being predicted by the hypothesis and if  result doesnt match the prediction then the hypothesis is again  totally discarded at times.

A car traveling at 15 m/s starts to decelerate steadily. It comes to a complete stop in 10 seconds. What is it’s acceleration
tresset_1 [31]

So the initial velocity is 15 m/s, the final velocity is 0 since it's at a complete stop and time is 10 seconds.  Therefore:

Acceleration=\frac{v_{final}-v_{initial}}{t_{final}-t_{initial}} =\frac{0m/s-15m/s}{10s-0s} =-1.5\frac{m}{s^2}

Therefore, the acceleration is -1.5 m/s^2.  The reason it's negative is due to the fact that the vector is going against it's original movement since it's decelerating.

Two children weighing 40 lbs and 50 lbs each are balancing their teacher weighing 120 lbs on a seesaw. The teacher is sitting 5
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

5 feet

Explanation:

First lets imagine that the values are in meters and kg, to make it easier for me.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The force created by the teacher is 120 × 5 = 600N.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The force created by the 50 kg student is 50 × 8 = 400N

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The force that needs to be created by the 40 kg student is 600N - 400N = 200N.

To create that force that student needs to sit 200 ÷ 40 = 5m.

So the 40 lbs student is sitting 5 feet from the fulcrum.

A cylindrical can is partially filled with water. The radius of the cylindrical can is 8 inches, and its height is 9 inches. If
VashaNatasha [74]

The volume of the cylindrical can is given by:

V = πr²h

V = volume, r = base radius, h = height

Differentiate both sides of the equation with respect to time t. The radius r doesn't change over time, so we treat it as a constant:

dV/dt = πr²(dh/dt)

Given values:

dV/dt = -527in³/min

r = 8in

Plug in and solve for dh/dt:

-527 = π(8)²(dh/dt)

dh/dt = -2.62in/min

The height of the water is decreasing at a rate of 2.62in/min

What would happen to Earth if ocean floor were created at divergent boundaries at a faster rate than it is destroyed at converge
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

The Earth would increase in volume

Explanation:

What would happen to Earth if ocean floor were created at divergent boundaries at a faster rate than it is destroyed at convergent boundaries?

Divergent boundaries are boundaries where plates pull away from each other, forming mild earthquakes and volcanoes as magma comes to the surface. Earthquakes are as a result of vibrations travelling within the earth or ocean floors . Volcanoes occur as a result of the eruption of  molten magma from the ocean floor

In divergent boundaries, the plates pull away and and the weakened crust in between collapse leaving more space thereby increasing in volume.

Convergent boundaries are boundaries that pull into each other. mountain chains are formed as the two plates push into each other if they are of the same density.
