Answer:
I believe the answer to this question is b observable physical evidence.
Explanation:
The reason for this is because scientists make predictions and use evidence to back up their hypothesis. If the evidence doesn't support their claim, they make up a new one, until they have gathered enough evidence to support their claim. This can be done through past knowledge, like failures and successes and lab experiments, so it is not only each of them, so the answer cannot be c or d. Out of the two options, a and b, I just thought about it and picked b as the reasonable answer. Please give me feedback on the answer, if it is right or not. Thanks! Hope I helped!
Answer:

Explanation:
We are asked to find the energy given mass, specific heat, and change in temperature. Therefore, we must use this formula;

The mass is 15 grams and the specific heat is 0.129 J/(g×°C). Let's calculate the change in temperature.
- ΔT= final temperature - initial temperature
- ΔT= 85 °C- 22°C = 63°C
Now we know all the values:

Substitue the values into the formula.

Multiply the first numbers together. The grams will cancel.

Multiply again, this time the degrees Celsius cancels.

<u>121.905 Joules</u> are required.
Answer: scientific theory is an explanation of observations or events that is based on knowledge gained from many observations or events.
