Answer: The correct answer is B.  

Explanation:

"Cumulative" means that something builds on itself. Like one law is formulated from using the result of the other.

Newton's law of gravity had come after that Kepler's laws was formulated.

The law of gravity is more fundamental than Kepler's laws.

Newton formulated his famous law of gravitation between the earth and the moon and also between the Sun and the planet.

After that Kepler's laws came. He gave the law of orbit in which he said that the planet revolves the Sun in an eliiptical orbit. And the other two laws were also given by him.  In this way Kepler's law was formulated by using the law of gravity.

Therefore, Kepler based his laws of planetary motions off of Newton’s law of gravity is the best example to show how scientific knowledge is cumulative.

Can anyone please explain this point with an example. I have presentation tomorrow.
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Explanation:

Efficiency is a way of describing the amount of useful ​output​ a process or machine can generate as a percentage of the ​input​ required to make it go. In other words, it compares how much energy is used to do work versus how much is lost or wasted to the environment. The more efficient the machine, the less energy wasted.

For example, if a heat engine is able to turn 75 percent of the fuel it receives into motion, while 25 percent is lost as heat in the process, it would be 75 percent efficient. Out of the original 100 percent of the fuel, 75 percent was output as useful work.  

the equation:

energy efficiency =useful output energy/total input energy

Why do the star constellations seem to move across the sky
barxatty [35]

Answer: These apparent star tracks are in fact not due to the stars moving, but to the rotational motion of the Earth. As the Earth rotates with an axis that is pointed in the direction of the North Star, stars appear to move from east to west in the sky.

Explanation: why do the star constellations seem to move across the sky
