What are the key components of the scientific method

What are the key components of the scientific method? Why is Intelligent Design not considered to be science? Modification of a hypothesis is a perfectly acceptable part of science and almost any theory can be modified to explain new data. How is this process of modification limited in science?

Determine acceleration of the bullet while moving into clay : A bullet is moving at a speed of 367 m/s when it embeds into a lump of moist clay. The bullet penetrates for a distance of 0.0621 m. Determine the acceleration of the bullet while moving into the clay. (Assume a uniform acceleration.)

Rocket-powered sleds are used to test the human response : Rocket-powered sleds are used to test the human response to acceleration. If a rocket-powered sled is accelerated to a speed of 444 m/s in 1.8 seconds, then what is the acceleration and what is the distance that the sled travels?

Find the magnitude of the acceleration : A hanging mass, M1 = 0.18 kg, is attached by a light string that runs over a frictionless pulley to the front of a mass M2 = 0.47 kg that is initially at rest on a frictionless table. A third mass M3 = 0.71 kg, which is also initially at rest on a fr..

Assuming that the initial kinetic energy of the ice block : A 2.5 kg block of ice at a temperature of 0.0 C and an initial speed of 5.7 m/s slides across a leveled floor. If 3.3 x 10^5 J are required to melt 1.0 kg of ice, how much ice melts, assuming that the initial kinetic energy of the ice block is entire..

Initially positioned at rest on a horizontal plane : Two small objects are connected by a string of length l and are initially positioned at rest on a horizontal plane. Charge of each object is q, mass is m. String is broken and objects start to slide away from each other on the horizontal plane. What ..

Thermal reactor-fueled with partially enriched uranium : It is found that, in a certain thermal reactor, fueled with partially enriched uranium, 13% of the fission neutrons are absorbed in resonances of U238 and 3% leak out of the reactor, both while these neutrons are slowing down; 5% of the neutrons that..

Netrons are slowed down to thermal energies : Netrons are slowed down to thermal energies in a 1:1 mixture of H2O and Uranium(4 atom % U-235,96 atom % U-238). Estimate the probability that a 0.0253 eV neutron will have scattering collision with H2O.

Calculate the change in the specific entropy of the parcel : A parcel of dry air is lifted isothermally such that its pressure decreases from 1000 hPa to 850 hPa. Calculate the change in the specific entropy of the parcel.
