What type of evidence is needed for a hypothesis to be supported or not supported?

Physics

NISA [10]2 years ago

Answer:

Hypotheses must be testable, and once tested, they can be supported by evidence. If a statement is made that cannot be tested and disproved, then it is not a hypothesis.

The radius of curvature is smaller at the top than on the sides so that the downward centripetal acceleration at the top will be

kap26 [50]

Answer:

$v = 14.86 m/s$

Explanation:

As we know that the force equation at the top is given as

$\frac{mv^2}{R} = ma$

now we know that

$a_c = 1.5 g$

so we have

$\frac{v^2}{R} = 1.5 g$

$v = \sqrt{1.5 Rg}$

so we will have

$v = \sqrt{1.5(15)(9.81)}$

$v = 14.86 m/s$

A friend claims that throwing a baseball up towards the school roof illustrates gravitational potential energy transforming into

Cloud [144]

Answer:

The Statement is wrong because the reverse is the case as it is the kinetic energy that is being transformed to gravitational potential energy.

Explanation:

As your friend throws the baseball into the air the ball gains an initial velocity (u) and this makes the Kinetic energy to be equal to

$KE = \frac{1}{2} mu^2$

Here m is the mass of the baseball

Now as this ball moves further upward the that velocity it gained reduce due to the gravitational force and this in turn reduces the kinetic energy of the ball and this kinetic energy lost is being converted to gravitational potential energy which is mathematically represented as (m×g×h)

as energy can not be destroyed but converted to a different form according to the first law of thermodynamics

Looking a the formula for gravitational potential energy we see that the higher the ball goes the grater the gravitational potential energy.

Two samples of water are mixed together.

horrorfan [7]

Let the cold water go up x degrees.

Let the hot water go down 100 - x degrees.

The formula for heat exchange is m*c*delta t

Givens

Ice

deltat = x

m = 0.50 kg

c = 4.18

Hot water

deltat = 100 - x

m = 1.5 kg

c = 4.18

Formula

The heat up = heat down

0.50 * c * x = 1.5 * c * (100 - x) Divide both sides by c

Solution

0.50 *x = 1.5*(100 - x) Remove the brackets.

0.5x = 150 - 1.5x Add 1.5x to both sides.

0.5x + 1.5x = 150 - 1.5x + 1.5x Combine like terms

2x = 150 Divide by 2

x = 75

How do prokaryotic cells replicate?

Alika [10]

Answer:

The usual method of prokaryote cell division is termed binary fission. The prokaryotic chromosome is a single DNA molecule that first replicates, then attaches each copy to a different part of the cell membrane. When the cell begins to pull apart, the replicate and original chromosomes are separated.
