Is arsenic in bullets?

Yes arsenic is used as an alloy along with other numerous elements particularly antimony.

Is range of motion testing subjective or objective?

Active range of motion is that motion performed voluntarily by a patient and is subjective in nature as the patient can move the body part as far or as little as they wish. Passive range of motion, which is that motion of a body part performed by an examiner is objective as the voluntary restriction of the motion is less likely to be influenced by the patient being examined.

Two bodies of different masses are allowed to fall freely how do their acceleration vary?

Mass doesn't effect how fast something falls, it is their size. This is related to air resistance. The larger the bodies, the slower they fall. ( This is what i remember from my science lesson)

What makes a hypothesis scientific or not?

I usually do an "if, then, because" hypothesis. IF i do this, THEN this will happen BECAUSE of this. For example, IF I give a plant proper sunlight, THEN it will grow taller than the other plants BECAUSE plants need sufficient light to grow. It seems very simple, but it goes a long way! :)

Is the scientific method based on personal judgment?

There is a degree of that in it, but ultimately peer review of research papers and experiments eliminates its effects as a consensus is reached in the scientific community.
