Chapter 1.1, Problem 4SSC

To determine

The reason for using models by scientists and an example of the scientific model.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

The scientific model is a collection of different scientific ideas or experiments. It provides the base for the other experiments. A scientific model gives the solution for similar types of problems.

The scientific model is based on the various types of mathematical equations or scientific facts. The scientists use the model for the correction of the present model or to find the new scientific inventions, theories.

The model of laws of motion based on Newton’s theory. This model gives an analysis of the motion of any particle or object. This model also explains the general theory of relativity. The general theory of relativity becomes the base for the special theory of relativity by introducing some facts in the general theory of relativity.

Conclusion:

The scientific model provides the guidelines for improvements in the present model or future scientific researches. Thus, the scientific model is the guide for the research and development activities.
