Question

If a reasonable theory is made about a given phenomenon, and one experimental result agrees exactly with the predicted outcome based on this theory, then is this theory proven to be correct? (a) Yes, given the agreement reached between theory and experiment (b) No, at least one more experimental result must be found where there is agreement between theory and experiment (c) No, a theory can never be proven to be correct (d) Yes, but only if the experiment is reproducible If a reasonable theory is made about a given phenomenon, and one experimental result does not agree at all with the predicted outcome based on this theory, then is this theory proven to be incorrect? (a) Yes, given the disagreement reached between theory and experiment (b) No, more experimental results must be found where there is disagreement between theory and experiment (c) No, a theory can never be proven to be incorrect (d) No, a theory can be correct even if it does not predict the right experimental results The answers provided by Science to any question must be based on experimental evidence False. The answer can be based on solid common sense True. Experimental evidence is always needed c) False. Experimental evidence is only needed in very specific cases False. Answers without experimental evidence are acceptable but are not as reliable The principle of conservation of energy states that the total potential energy of an system is conserved. (a) True (b) False. It states that the total kinetic energy of an isolated system is conserve (c) False. It states that the total energy of an isolated system is conserved. (d) False. It states that the tola1 kinetic energy minus the total potential energy of an system is conserved.

Explanation / Answer

getting an experminet result satisfying theory doesnt mean that theory is proved. it may be dispproaved after a certain period of time. if there are no controversies, we can say that theroy is proved. hence first option is correct
