Scientists sometimes use analogies, or comparisons to other ideas and objects, to explain the nature of science. Are scientific ideas MORE like a piece of glass or a piece of aluminum foil?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

How about both?

Glass permits you to see what is going on inside a closed container. Usually it is microscopic view of something that is very tiny to start with.

It's like foil in that what you are looking at can change dramatically very quickly. If you take an ink drop and put it water, the random motion of the water molecules diffuses the ink (spreads it out). This is called diffusion or Brownian movement.

It is like the foil because the crumpled foil has no set pattern.

Answer 2

Answer:

I would see it as a piece of glass since these ideas can be proven otherwise at any time.

Step-by-step explanation:

Throughout history, analogies have played an important role in scientific discoveries, not as proof, but as inspiration. Analogies have also played an important role in explaining those discoveries (Kaiser, 1989).

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is equal to the rise/run of the line, or in other words, the number of units it travels up over the number of units it travels right. We can see on the graph that for every time it travels right 1 unit it travels up 2 units, so the rise/run is 2/1. 2/1 is equal to 2, so therefore, the slope of the line is 2.

Thanks anyways.

Answers

Experimental probability is the results of an experiment, let's say for the sake of an example marbles in a bag. Experimental probability would be drawing marbles out of the bag and recording the results. Theoretical probability is calculating the probability of it happening, not actually going out and experimenting.

What is the perimeter of the figure on the coordinate plane below?


Answers

Answer:

26 units

Step-by-step explanation:

im not sure if this will help but i counted the spaces and added the halves

The perimeter of the given figure on the coordinate plane is 56 units.

What is perimeter?

A perimeter is the closed path that encompasses surrounds, or outlines either a two dimensional shape or a one-dimensional length.

Now from given figure, the following length of the sides is given,

9 units

4 units

4 units

8 units

11 units

3 units

2 units

15 units

Now since we know that,

Perimeter = Sum of lengths of all the sides

Perimeter = 9+4+4+8+11+3+2+15

Perimeter = 56 units

Thus, the perimeter of the given figure on the coordinate plane is 56 units.

A cone has the height 14 centimeters and base with the circumference or 8.4 pi centimeters. What is the volume of the cone in terms of pi.

19.6pi cubic cm
39.2pi cubic cm
82.32pi cubic cm
282.24pi cubic cm

Answers

The answer is C.

Here is the formula for volume of cone:

[tex]\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h[/tex]

where r is the radius and h is the height.

[tex]\pi r^{2}[/tex] is the area of the "base" or the fomula for calculating the area of a circle.

In your question, the height is given, but you don't know the radius. However, it could be found using the circumference of 8.4pi cm.

The formula for the relationship between circumference, diameter, and the constant pi:

[tex]C =\pi d[/tex]

where C is the circumference and d is the diameter of the circle.

Substitute the numbers in:

[tex]8.4 \pi = \pi d[/tex]

Remove [tex]\pi[/tex] from both sides of the equation:

[tex]d=8.4[/tex]

Diameter is the length across the circle, while radius is half of diameter.

Hence, [tex]r =4.2[/tex]

Now that you have all the "information" you need to calculate the cone's volume, substitute the numbers into the formula:

[tex]\frac{1}{3} \pi * 4.2^{2}* 14[/tex]

You should get  [tex]82.32\pi cm^{2}[/tex]  as your answer. The [tex]\pi[/tex] is left alone because the question stated "in terms of pi", but if that weren't stated pi should be replaced with 22/7 or 3.14 depending on the question.

I hope this clears up any confusion you might have! If not, feel free to leave a comment with your question.

Answers

The answer is a and b.

Here's the way to check:

Since all the numbers follow a constant sequence, it is possible to use division. Minus the first term, then divide it by the pattern of the sequence.

For a, 512 - 8 = 504

The pattern from a is each number is increased by 7. So,

504 ÷ 7 = 72

The number itself you count is not important. The point is that the number could be divided fully without remainder. This means 512 will appear in the sequence.

Repeat the above steps for b and c:

512 - 23 = 489

489 ÷ 3 = 163

It can be divided without remainder, 512 appears in this sequence.

512 - 12 = 500

500 ÷ 12 = 41.66666

Since C is a decimal ( there is remainder ), the number 512 does NOT appear in the sequence.

However, if you want to know the logic of WHY this works, I won't be able to give you a satisfying answer. Hope this helps you.

What is the value of x?
11 (9 - 2x) = -(12x + 11)

Answers

The value of x = 11.


Explanation: 99-22x=- 12x - 11


Collect like terms: -22x + 12x = -11 - 99



Divide both sides: -10x = -110 by -10

Answer:

x=11

Step-by-step explanation:

First Distribute 11 to 9 and -2x

Then distribute the negative to 12x and 11

Then calculate like terms

-22x + 12x = -11 -99 which comes out to -10x=-110

Then divide each side by -10

Your answer will then be x=11
