Explain why scientists find the particulate matter of theory useful

This idea has historical significance. The ancient Greek philosopher Democritus (born 460 BCE), who held that everything is composed of small particles moving in empty space, is credited with developing the first hypothesis we have about the microscopic universe. He had some concrete proof for this, such the fact that items like a new loaf of bread or a rose may give off a scent even when they are far from the source. Being a materialist, he thought that these odors originated from actual material particles released by the bread or the rose, rather than being purely a type of magic. He reasoned that these particles must float through the air, with some of them maybe landing in your nose where you can smell them immediately. This still makes sense in modern times. But many of us now have quite different perspectives on these "particles."

A very large redwood tree is measured to be about 100 units tall. Which unit is the most appropriate to use? A millimeters B cen

Kruka [31]

Answer:

The most appropriate unit to use for a redwood is:

C. meters.

Explanation:

The largest tree in the world is called Hyperion and it is a Sequoia sempervirens, that is to say, a redwood, which measures a little more than 115 meters, when knowing this data first hand, you can imagine that the vast majority of trees are usually measured in meters since their size is usually one meter in ahead (although you should know that there are some shrub species that can measure only centimeters, but being a minority, the meter unit is usually used).
