A group of students performed an experiment to prove the law of conservation of energy. In the experiment, a flask containing water at room temperature was shaken vigorously for a few minutes. The table shows a partial record of the temperature of the water before and after shaking.

Experimental Record
Temperature
Before Shaking 19 °C
After Shaking Unknown

What best predicts the unknown temperature?
Group of answer choices

Less than 19 °C, because the total energy of the system after shaking will be lower

Greater than 19 °C, because the total energy of the system after shaking will be higher

Less than 19 °C, because the energy used for shaking raises the kinetic energy of the water molecules

Greater than 19 °C, because the energy used for shaking raises the kinetic energy of the water molecules

Agood hypothesis includes which of the following? a: prediction b: data c: uncertainty d: conclusion

Achemical reaction (also known as a chemical change) produces substances that are chemically different from the starting materials. an example of a chemical reaction is the formation of water from hydrogen and oxygen gas.in a physical change, a substance changes its physical appearance but not its chemical identity. an example of physical change is the formation of liquid water from solid water, a familiar process called melting. physically, liquid water looks very different from solid water (ice) but the chemical identity, water, is the same for both. which of following changes that affect the composition of our atmosphere involve physical changes and which involve chemical reactions? oxygen gas changes to ozone during thunderstorms carbon dioxide is produced by the combustion of gasoline in an automobile engine. when coal, oil, and natural gas are decomposed in landsills they produce methane gas. freezing rain develops when a warm air mass overrides a cold air mass. fog forms from water vapor when the temperature drops below the dew point

Observation and experimentation have led many scientists to accept a theory about the origin of the universe. this theory is called the big bang theory. scientific evidence collected and observed by scientists around the world suggests that the universe is ever expanding from a hot and dense initial state. what makes this a scientific theory?
