No, that's not the correct answer. O 2. running at 4 min per mile. Enter to 2 significant figures Angle with respect to the vertical = 6.8 Use 1 mile = 1609.4 m Sense-making: Do your results for the leaning angle during walking agree with your observations about people walking on circular tracks?

Measure the longest dimension of the room twice, using two different techniques. Do the measurement in feet and inches. Then convert to meters. Below is what I got. Tape Measure - 146 inches > 3.7084 meters / 12 feet and 2 inches = 12.1667 feet > 3.70840 meters Ruler - 144.5 inches (144 + 1/2) = 3.6703 meters / 12.0416 feet = 3.67027 metersarrow_forward
- What distinguishes science from pseudoscience? O Pseudoscience uses experimentation to objectively reach conclusions. D Measurements can prove a concept to be correct and scientific. O Science deals with the mainstream ideas, pseudoscience does not. O Concepts must be falsifiable to be considered science. OIn science, we just know that things are the way they are.arrow_forwardAfter completing this Lecture Tutorial, students should be able to: distinguish between scientific hypotheses and nonscientific ideas. Part 1: Comprehension of Hypotheses A scientific hypothesis needs to (1) be supported by the majority of current data and (2) be testable. An alien on Earth is wondering why a rubber ball falls back down to the ground after it is thrown into the air. It comes up with several ideas about the ball. a. Gravity is pulling the ball to the ground. b. A mystical force that cannot be measured is pushing the ball down. c. Earth's magnetic field is pulling on the rubber ball. 1. Which statement is NOT a hypothesis because it is not testable? a b c 2. Which statement is NOT a hypothesis because it is not supported by current data? a b c 3. Which statement IS a scientific hypothesis? a b c Part 2: Application to Dinosaur Extinction Below are possible scenarios explaining the extinction of the dinosaurs. a.
