Which procedure is following when using the scientific method to solve a problem? Question 12 options: Identify something thought to be true and then set out to prove it. Identify a question, make observations, create a hypothesis, and then set up an experiment to test the hypothesis. Find something scientists say is true and then ask questions about it. Do an experiment and then ask questions about it.

Ablock of mass m slides on a horizontal frictionless table with an initial speed v0 . it then compresses a spring of force constant k and is brought to rest. the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2. how much is the spring compressed x from its natural length? 1) x = v0*sqrt(k/(mg)) 2) x=v0*sqrt(m/k) 3) x=v0*((mk)/g) 4) x=v0*sqrt(k/m) 5) x=v0*(m/kg) 6) x=v0*sqrt((mg)/k) 7) x=(v0)^2/(2g) 8) x=v0*(k/(mg)) 9) x=(v0)^2/(2m) 10) x=v0*((mg)/k)

Researchers conducted an experiment to identify the effects of three different hand sanitizers on the growth of bacteria. the researchers grew one type of bacteria in twenty-four identical covered petri dishes. then, they opened eighteen petri dishes and applied the three hand sanitizers to six petri dishes each. they left the remaining six petri dishes closed as a control group. when the researchers measured the growth of bacteria two days later, the six dishes that had no hand sanitizer showed the least amount of bacterial growth. the researchers concluded that not using any hand sanitizer would lead to the least bacterial growth. which statement best explains why the researchers’ conclusion was not justified? the experiment tested too many variables. the control group was not treated the same as the experimental group. the sample size of twenty-four petri dishes is not large enough. the single type of bacteria is not adequate to make any conclusions.

Consider motion in one dimension. (the sign of the vector quantities is their direction indicator.) an object moves in the positive x-direction with speed 2.9 m/s for 4.5 s. it stops for 3.8 s and then moves in the negative x direction with speed 2.8 m/s for 4 s. what is the total distance traveled by the object in units of meter? enter a number with two digits behind the decimal point.
