Scientists seek to acquire knowledge and understanding of the real world through the formulation, testing, and evaluation of what?

A) deductive reasoning

B) technology

C) scientific method

D) scientific hypothesis *****(what I think the answer is)

When might an object's average velocity be equal to its average speed in two dimensions?

A) If the object does not loop back to its starting position, then the average velocity will be equal to the average speed.

B) The object's average velocity will never be equal to its average speed, in magnitude or direction, because average velocity will be negative and average speed will be positive. ****what i think it is

C) If the object moves in a straight line in one direction represented as positive, then the direction and magnitude of the average velocity will be equal to the average speed.

D) If the object moves in a straight line in one direction represented as positive, then the magnitude of average velocity will be equal to the average speed.

D) scientific hypothesis *****(what I think the answer is)

The correct answer for the first question is C) scientific method, as scientists use the scientific method to acquire knowledge and understanding of the real world through the formulation, testing, and evaluation of hypotheses and theories.

For the second question, the correct answer is D) If the object moves in a straight line in one direction represented as positive, then the magnitude of average velocity will be equal to the average speed. This is because in two dimensions, velocity includes both magnitude (speed) and direction. If the object moves in a straight line with no change in direction, the average velocity and average speed will be equal.
