1.2 The Scientific Methods
- Drive the car at exactly 50 mph and then press harder on the accelerator pedal until the velocity reaches the speed 60 mph and record the distance this takes.
- Drive the car at exactly 50 mph and then apply the brakes until it stops and record the distance this takes.
- Drive the car at exactly 50 mph and then apply the brakes until it stops and record the time it takes.
- Drive the car at exactly 50 mph and then apply the accelerator until it reaches the speed of 60 mph and record the time it takes.
- Testable hypotheses like the gravitational pull on each vehicle while in motion and the average speed of vehicles is 40 mph
- Non-testable hypotheses like the average number of vehicles passing is 935 per day and carbon emission from each of the moving vehicle

- Further testing would need to show it is a universally followed rule.
- The observation would have to be described in a published scientific article.
- The experiment would have to be repeated once or twice.
- The observer would need to be a well-known scientist whose authority was accepted.
