Physics C-110 Module 1 Chapter 1 1. What is science? Science is a body of knowledge that is ever changing. It is made up of not only facts but also theories that are made up of well-tested hypotheses. 2. Distinguish among the scientific fact‚ hypothesis‚ law and theory As stated above‚ a theory is made up of well-tested hypotheses‚ which in themselves are well educated guesses yet to be proven. A fact is something that can change over time even though it was agreed upon by knowledgeable

ours‚ our findings can hardly pale into insignificance as errors and the cause of uncertainty are discussed and ways to improve the experiment are suggested‚ which can possibly spur further studies on this realm of knowledge. I. Introduction In physics‚ there are mainly two ways from which useful equations can be derived. One from them is to make good use of the mathematical expression of the theories formulated by our predecessors. An archetype to this notion is the Newton’s second law‚ which states
