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.

This question involves the concepts of the law of conservation of energy, kinetic energy, and potential energy.

The height of the hill is "166.76 m".

<h3>LAW OF CONSERVATION OF ENERGY:</h3>

According to the law of conservation of energy at the highest point of the roller coaster ride, that is, the hill, the whole (maximum) kinetic energy of the roller coaster is converted into its potential energy:

$Maximum\ Kinetic\ Energy\ Lost = Maximum\ Potential\ Energy\ Gain\\\\
\frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2=mgh\\\\
h=\frac{v_{max}^2}{2g}$
