1. _______ One of the distinctive aspects of any scientific discipline is that the models that scientists develop have predictive powers.

2. _______ Scientists try to understand the phyical world dy observation and then testing the success.

3. _______Theologians, artists, and musicians have little need for physics in their respective professions.

thanks for the help!!!!!! =)

  1. 1. - True

    2. - True

    3. - False

    From my perspective, artists can use physics in the creation of their art (size and proportion for sculpting or dynamics of color combination, for example).  

    Musicians can use the physics in the playing of the instruments or knowing how they are constructed along with understanding the dynamics of sound.  

    As a Christian theist I find the advances in physics fascinating.  It is my understanding the creation story related in the Hebrew Bible book of Genesis was not meant to be taken literally.  Rather, it was a way of saying that the Hebrew God is responsible for creating the known universe and everything in it.  

    Physics is an avenue to get an idea of HOW God created the known universe; theology is an avenue to explain WHY God created the known universe.  So, for me anyway, there is no conflict.      


  2. true

    true

    and definitely false artists are practicing physicsts

  3. 1. true

    2. true

    3. false

    Without science there is no certainty.

  4. 1) True, because when scientists build different scientific models, it helps them understand better how the things they are studying work. So when they have a better understanding, they have the ability to predict what may happen if something goes wrong. For example, scientists now have an idea how the basics components of the cell work because of their models. So if a certain part of the cell, the nucleus for example, malfunctions, they're able to tell what could happen to the cell because they know how the nucleus works.

    2) That's absolutely true, because science is based on facts and evidence. Everything is based on observations (observations don't necessarily mean that they have to be "seen", observations could be heard as well), because if not then it's not science. So when scientists observe something new or peculiar, they test their observations by conducting experiments to prove their hypothesis. Because when they make observations, scientists make guesses (hypotheses) about what could be the explanation for what is happening and so they design an experiment to prove whether their hypothesis is right or wrong. Then this could lead to the development of a theory or even a law.

    3) I think this is true because a musician, for example, doesn't need to know a bunch of mathematical equations and physics to be able to play his or her instrument, but if one is curious about the physics of musical instruments, that's fantastic! In physics, there is a branch of physics called "waves" that explains how instruments such as wind instruments and guitars work. But we don't really need to study this because if we look at the musicians we know, I think many of them have little or no knowledge on waves and they're great musicians. If you apply in a music program in university, I'm quite sure "waves" or any physics is not mandatory. You just need to know the basic physics of musical instruments, like knowing what factors affect the tuning of instruments in order to be able to play the instrument properly.
