What happens when a hypothesis is not supported

Biology
1 answer:
Temka [501]3 years ago
5 0
<span> For a start, when you have a question that needs answering in science, you formulate a null hypothesis. That is a negative statement which you then set out to prove or disprove. This is just a convention. So if your initial question is for example, "Does sugar dissolve in water?"

Your null hypothesis will be "Sugar does not dissolve in water."
You then set up your experiment and get some data.

Now if your data doesn't support your null hypothesis then you reject it and make the statement ,"Sugar does dissolve in water." As you can see from this simple example, a non-result is still a result so the idea of formulating new tests as mentioned by another answerer isn't necessary and in some ways is the incorrect thing to do. In science, hypotheses are often not supported by data and i would argue that this is the case a lot of the time. A non-result is still a result and you will have plenty to write about whichever way it goes. </span>

How does the Foucault Pendulum show that the Earth rotates?
egoroff_w [7]

The Foucault Pendulum show that the Earth rotates because the pendulum would swing so slowly that it would appear to change direction as the Earth moved away.

<h3>How does the Foucault pendulum work?</h3>

The Foucault pendulum was able to demonstrate experimentally that the Earth revolves around itself with an angular velocity Ω, in a period of 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4 seconds.

Thus, Foucault knew that the longer the string attached to the weight, the slower the swing of his pendulum. He could attach the string above to an almost frictionless pin, and if he used a very large weight, the pendulum would swing so slowly that it would appear to change direction as the Earth moved away.

enyata [817]

Answer: After 3 rounds, 8 segments having 2 original strands on different segments will be present.

Explanation:

The polymerase chain reaction selectively and repeatedly copy the double stranded DNA (dsDNA) in the PCR machine.

1st round:

Single piece of double stranded DNA (dsDNA) unwinds in two seperate strands, before complementary nucleotides are synthesized to establish double helix.

2nd round:

The two dsDNA yields 4 segments before complementary nucleotides are synthesized

3rd round:

The four dsDNA yields 8 segments before complementary nucleotides are synthesized.

Therefore, at the end of 3 rounds, the two original strands will be present on the 8 different segments of copied DNA.
