Match each of the steps of the scientific method below to the correct definition. a. observation the answer to the question as determined by the data analysis b. conclusion the process of using your five senses to collect data c. procedure a set of detailed instructions and the information that is collected d. analysis calculations or comparisons made using the collected data e. purpose a statement of the question being asked f. hypothesis an if-then guess based on past experience or information

a.) travels faster in solids because the particles are closer together.

air is a gas water is a liquid

force is based upon mass and acceleration.the statement is not always true.

it can be explained from newton's second law of motion.

as per newton's second law of motion the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place along the direction of force.

mathematically it can be written as -

                                              ⇒      

here   k is the proportionality constant whose value is 1.

                                                            [a is the acceleration=dv/dt]

hence we see that force not only depends on mass and acceleration but also on velocity and rate of change of mass. force f will depend on mass and acceleration only when mass is constant.

hence the statement that force is based upon mass and acceleration is false.
