Question

Give a life example that you have hypothesized about something, and then test it while having your prediction (your expectation of the test outcome) in your mind. Note: Check your language to make sure that you have used the words of hypothesis and prediction correctly.

Answer 1

Once I had to do an experiment on Damped Oscillation and had to attend a Workshop immediately after that. I entered the lab at around 1:30 pm and found that the equipment for the experiment was pretty much old. I doubted if I would complete it on time and attend the workshop which was scheduled at 5:00 pm. Gradually, I started doing the experiment. I switched on the computer and the equipment. I got the graph for theta without any flaw. So far so good. From that, I calculated 'k' and then started the electronic oscillator.

This time, I had to get three graphs for omega vs amplitude. The graphs must resemble something like a mountain. The first attempt was a failure since the graph that I got was somewhat linear. Dejected, I started the electronic oscillator again. This time, I got the graph correctly and then I proceeded to get the other two graphs. Finally, when the experiment was completed, the time was 4:45 pm. Completing the calculations, I reached the Workshop by 5:15 pm.
