Answer:

Aloe vera is a succulent plant species ( with fleshy water storing tissue) belonging to the genus Aloe.

It is used in many products ( including beverages, cosmetic products as gel, medicinal ointments). Its juice is quite bitter in taste. It is known to be the best skin moisturizer and can be used for healing wounds by enhancing the renewal of damaged cells. It is also used as an anticarcinogen, thus reduces the chances of cancer.

Thus, the given hypothesis can be classified as falsifiable ( which is proven wrong) or non-falsifiable ( which is proven right) in the following way-

Falsifiable-

Aloe vera juice tastes better than carrot juice.

Non Falsifiable-

Aloe vera gel is the best natural skin moisturizer.

Aloe vera gel can heal wounds by boosting cell renewal.

Drinking aloe juice can reduce the risk of lung cancer.

Please help me on this position-time graph assignment!!!

saw5 [17]

$\text{Hello there! :)}$

$\text{The velocity is essentially the slope of the graph in a position vs. time graph, so:}$

$\text{Given: From 0 - 8 sec, velocity of 10 m/s.}\\\\\text{From 8 - 18 sec, velocity of -5 m/s. (In opposite direction because of the negative sign)}\\\\\\\text{From 18 - 22 sec, velocity of 0 m/s. (Object at rest)}\\\\\text{From 22 - 24 sec, velocity of 5 m/s.}\\\\\text{Graph the position vs. time graph using the velocities as the slope of the line }$

Step 2: Apply NEwton's second law Apply ∑Fy = may , what should ay be equal to, since the block doesn't move in the y direction

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

∑Fy = 0, because there is no movement, N = m*g*cos (omega)

Explanation:

We can solve this problem with the help of a free body diagram where we show the respective forces in each one of the axes, y & x. The free-body diagram and the equations are in the image attached.

If the product of mass by acceleration is zero, we must clear the normal force of the equation obtained. The acceleration is equal to zero because there is no movement on the Y-axis.
