Can two or all three of these forces be exerted between two objects at the same time?arrow_forwardArchimedes, a famous Greek scientist, was given a problem by King Hieron II of Syracuse (Sicily). The king suspected that his crown, which was supposed to be made of pure gold, contained some silver alloy, and he asked Archimedes to prove or disprove his suspicion. (It turned out that the crown did not contain silver.) How would you experimentally determined whether or not the crown was pure gold? (Hint: The method came to Archimedes when getting into a full bathtub. See the footnote in Experiment 22 for Archimedes’ solution.)arrow_forwardJames decided to conduct an investigation to find out what would happen with food coloring to water at various temperatures. First he put equal amounts of beakers After looking at his results and data, James claims that the kinetic energy of the substances in the beaker can be changed by transferring energy to the beakers. Is there sufficient evidence to support this claim? (a) No there is not enough evidence to support this claim, because there is no data to suggest that energy has been transferred to the beakers. (b) Yes the data and observable evidence in the gift are sufficient to support his claim (c) No, the evidence is not sufficient, Because energy is invisible so it’s impossible to tell whether the kinetic energy has changed (d) No, the evidence actually suggest that there is no connection between energy transfer and kinetic energy within an objector substancearrow_forward
