Answer:
The hypothesis may or may not be true and needs to be tested. It might be the answer to the problem. Hence, it must be tested thoroughly. When these predictions are tested again and again in independent scientific experiments and gets verified, the hypothesis is converted into a scientific theory.
Answer:
a = 0.1962 m/s^2
Explanation:
The magnitude of kinetic friction exerted is given by

Where, μ_k= coefficient of kinetic friction= 0.02 and N = reaction force = mg
Where m= mass = 30 Kg and, g is acceleration due to gravity =9.81 m/s^2
F_k=0.02×30×9.81 =5.886 N
Now, since, there is no applied force this kinetic friction force will cause acceleration of the child
⇒ ma = F_k
here, a is the acceleration
⇒30a = 5.886
⇒ a = 0.1962 m/s^2
