Worked practice questions

The inductive method usually begins with a research question instead of what?

  1. Raw data sets
  2. A hypothesis
  3. A measurement
  4. A conclusion
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. A hypothesis

1. The traditional method forms a hypothesis and tests it. 2. The inductive approach usually formulates only a research question. 3. Data collection and conclusions follow afterwards. _Source: Wikipedia, Scientific method, Inductive method_

Which scientist guessed that St. Elmo's fire was electrical in nature?

  1. Isaac Newton
  2. Charles Darwin
  3. Albert Einstein
  4. Benjamin Franklin
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. Benjamin Franklin

1. Benjamin Franklin conjectured that St. Elmo's fire was electrical. 2. The conjecture was correct. 3. It took a long series of experiments and theoretical changes to establish it. _Source: Wikipedia, Scientific method, Characterizations_

Which pair of terms overlap in daily speech but differ in mechanics?

  1. Mass and weight
  2. Speed and time
  3. Heat and light
  4. Force and sound
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Mass and weight

1. Scientific definitions can differ from everyday language. 2. Mass and weight overlap in common discourse. 3. In mechanics they have distinct meanings. _Source: Wikipedia, Scientific method, Definition_
