A student states, "The wave model is better than the particle model for electromagnetic radiation because it is easier to unders

tand." Is the student's statement a scientific claim?(1 point)
Yes, it is because simpler scientific models are better.

No, it isn't because the particle model is better than the wave model.

No, it isn't because the statement is an opinion.

Yes, it is because there is ample proof that wave models are easier.

The student's claim did not follow the scientific method of discovery, hence, it is an opinion not a scientific claim.

<h3>What is the scientific method?</h3>

The scientific method is a procedure employed by scientific towards understanding the world around them as well giving explanation for phenomena in the natural world.

The scientific method involves:

  • observations
  • asking questions
  • putting forward a hypothesis
  • testing the hypothesis through experiments
  • analyzing results of the experiments and drawing conclusions
  • establishing a theory.

Since the student in question just put forward an opinion without testing it out using the scientific method, the statement is not a scientific claim.

What is the kinetic energy of a 1.40 kg discus with a speed of 22.5 m/s?
Oksana_A [137]
Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

                         = (1/2) (1.4 kg) (22.5 m/s)²

                         =    (0.7 kg)  (506.25 m²/s² )

                         =          354.375  kg-m²/s²  =  354.375 joules .

This is just the kinetic energy associated with a 1.4-kg glob of
mass sailing through space at 22.5 m/s.  In the case of a frisbee,
it's also spinning, and there's some additional kinetic energy stored
in the spin.

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Both balls have the same speed.

Explanation:

Janelle throws the two balls from the same height, with the same speed. Both balls will have the same potential and kinetic energy. Energy must be conserved. When the balls pass Michael, again they must have the same potential and kinetic energy.
