In summary, becoming a scientist requires dedication, critical thinking skills, and a curious mind, rather than a specific age or degree. While having a degree in a scientific field can be helpful, it is not necessary. Math is important in science, but collaboration with mathematicians is possible. Lastly, not all scientists work in a lab, as there are different types of scientists with varying methods of gathering and analyzing data.

A Golf ball is struck with a high lofted club it falls to Earth under the influence of gravity from a height of 20m. It then plugs into soft ground and comes to rest suddenly without rebound. It then plugs in a depth of 5cm. Find the retarding force which acts on the ball. It has a mass of 45 grams.

1. Can anyone become a scientist?

Yes, anyone with a passion for science, a strong work ethic, and a willingness to learn can become a scientist. It requires dedication, critical thinking skills, and a curious mind.

2. Is there an age limit for pursuing a career in science?

No, there is no age limit for becoming a scientist. Many successful scientists have started their careers later in life. What matters most is passion, determination, and a strong desire to contribute to the scientific community.

3. Do I need to have a specific degree to be a scientist?

While having a degree in a scientific field can be helpful, it is not always necessary to become a scientist. Many successful scientists have diverse backgrounds and degrees in different fields. What matters most is having the necessary knowledge, skills, and experience in your chosen field of study.

4. Do I need to be good at math to be a scientist?

Math is an important tool in science, but it is not the only skill needed to be a scientist. Many scientists collaborate with mathematicians and statisticians to analyze data. However, having a basic understanding of math and the ability to think critically and logically is important for any scientist.

5. Can I become a scientist without conducting experiments in a lab?

Yes, there are many different types of scientists, and not all of them work in a lab. Some scientists conduct fieldwork or use computer modeling to gather and analyze data. It is possible to pursue a career in science without working in a traditional lab setting.
