Auburn SCMH 1010 Final Exam Questions and
Correct Answers | Latest Update
Tools of Science Ans: 1. Evidence
2. Logical Reasoning
3. Skepticism
Two Kinds of Science Ans: 1. Observational: Investigators DO NOT assign
treatments of subject; no control
Assignment Expert
2. Experimental: Investigators assign treatments of subject; all control
Hypothesis Ans: An informed, testable, and predictable solution to a
Guru01 - Stuvia
scientific problem that explains a natural phenomenon or event.
Corroborated Hypothesis Ans: A hypothesis that has passed its tests, i.e.
one whose predictions have been verified
2026
Scientific Fact Ans: A highly corroborated hypothesis that has been so
repeatedly tested and for which so much reliable evidence exists, it

would be perverse or irrational to deny it.
Scientific Theory Ans: A unifying, self-consistent explanation for
fundamental natural processes or phenomena that is totally constructed
from corroborated hypotheses.
Hypothesis->corroborated hypothesis->fact->theory
Pseudo-Science Ans: A kind of inquiry failing in the realm of belief or
dogma that cannot be proved or disproved with a reproducible test.
Ptolemy Ans: 1. Earth-centered model
2. Circular orbits
Kepler Ans: Elliptical orbits
, 2 for specific request mail
Speed Ans: Distance/Time
m/s
Speed vs. Velocity Ans: 1. Velocity includes direction and speed doesn't
2. A change in direction is a change in velocity
Acceleration Ans: ROC of velocity
Velocity/Time
Distance Traveled Ans: 1/2at^2
Assignment Expert
Universal Laws of Motion Ans: 1. An object in motion stays in motion
unless acted on by another force
Guru01 - Stuvia
2. F=ma
3.For every action, there is an equal and opposite force
2026
Force Ans: Something that causes a change in direction.
Momentum Ans: The tendency of a body to keep moving
©
P = Mass x Velocity
Conservation of Linear Motion Ans: Keeps moving unless acted on
Conservation of Angular Motion Ans: 1. Larger Radius = Smaller Velocity
2. Smaller Radius = Larger Velocity
3. Center of Mass
Gravity Ans: 1. An attractive force that acts on very object in the
universe
2. The source of gravity is ALL matter
3. No gravity in a vacuum
, 3 for specific request mail
4. G vs g : G=constant; g=gravity
Living System Ans: 1. Any living system that uses energy for the
purposes of growth, maintenance, and reproduction
2. If it is not exerting energy, it is not alive
Energy Ans: 1. The ability to do work
2. Measured in Joules
Work Ans: Force applied over a distance
Assignment Expert
W = Force x Distance = N x m = J
Power Ans: Work per unit time
Guru01 - Stuvia
Power = Work/Time = Watt
Horsepower Ans: How many horses it could replace
2026
HP = 550 foot pounds/second
Watts = Joules/Seconds

Kenetic Energy Ans: The energy of motion
Potential Energy Ans: The energy of position
Thermal Energy Ans: Random kenetic energy of molecules and atoms
(heat)
Wave Energy Ans: Kenetic energy associated with waves
Mechanical Energy Ans: Kenetic + Potential
Trophic Levels Ans: 1. Producers
2. Primary consumers
3. Secondary consumers
