Q1.1 How many correct experiments do we need to disprove a theory? How many do we need to prove a theory? Explain.

A1.1 Only one correctly performed experiment is needed to disprove a theory. The process for proving a theory is an ongoing one, for a theory can be assumed true unless it is disproved by one or more counter examples.

Q1.2 A guidebook describes the rate of climb of a mountain trail as 120 meters per kilometer. How can you express this as a number with no units?

A1.2 I don’t believe this can be meaningfully described without an attached unit.
