it allows scientists to consider ideas that contradict their models or theories.
it allows scientists to design novel experiments that may be difficult to carry out.

Aperson gives a shopping cart an initial push along a horizontal floor to get it moving, and then lets go. the cart travels forward along the floor, gradually slowing as it moves. consider the horizontal force(s) on the cart while it is moving forward and slowing. which of the following statements is correct? (a) both a forward and a backward force are acting on the cart, but the forward force is larger. (b) only a forward force is acting which diminishes with time. (c) both a forward and a backward force are acting on the cart, but the backward force is larger. (d) only a backward force is acting, no forward force.

Consider the growth of a 20-nm-diameter silicon nanowire onto a silicon wafer. the temperature of the wafer surface is maintained at 2400 k. assume the thermal conductivity of the silicon nanowire is 20 wm-1k-1 and all its surfaces including the tip are subjected to convection heat transfer with the coefficient h = 1×105 wm-2k-1 and t∞ = 8000 k. when the nanowire grows to l = 300 nm, what is the temperature of the nanowire tip (t (x =

1) what is the power in horsepower of a 100 watt light bulb? what is the power in kilowatts of a 200 horsepower engine? 2) if a cars engine is providing 3000 n of force to keep the car moving at 5 m/s, what is the engine’s effective power? 3) how many gallons of water will be pumped from a well 30 feet deep by a 1/2 hp engine in 1 minute? (1 gallon weighs 8.34 pounds)
