sorry my mistake, for the first problem i chose A

To be honest, I don't like any of the answers on either. Physicists make observation and collect date in order to discern patterns in nature, and to test a hypothesis. I don't see any answers close that.

On the second, models are used so that we can do generate a prediction from known input variables. B is the closest to this, but it woefully explains it.

I have no idea what your teacher has in mind.

i don't really have a teacher, im homeschooled..but for the first one my book says: make observations and collect data that lead to a question
and for the second one it just says: physicists use models to explain the most fundamental features of various phenomena.

what do you think would be the closest answers to both of these?
Answered by DrBob222
I agree with Bob Pursley with #1. With #2 I might, in a pinch, go with c but that is short changing it I think.
Answered by bobpursley
a, and c.

Just for information, what is the title and author of your text?
