Question

Changing the pendulum design after the first trial was an example of _____________ to solve the problem presented by the teacher. A) designing the model B) evaluating th e model C) identifying the problem D) doing research on the problem

Answer 1

Answer:

C. identifying the problem

Explanation:

To be sure of what the experiment involves one need to have an hypothesis to guide the task.

Assuming the hypothesis in the experiment is , “changing the amount of weight at the end of the pendulum will change the period of the pendulum.”

The experiment design would be complementary in that it would entail measuring the period with just one amount of weight, then changing the weight without changing any other variables, then measuring the period with the new amount of weight.

Changing the pendulum design after the first trial was an example of identifying the problem or the variable tied to the one factor that we are solving for.

Answer 2

Answer:

Changing the pendulum design after the first trial was an example of evaluating the model to solve the problem presented by the teacher.

Explanation:

A model constitutes an abstract representation of a certain aspect of reality, and has a structure that is formed by the elements that characterize the aspect of the modeled reality and by the relationships between these elements.

This achieved result provides a better understanding of the problem being studied, offering aspects that can be changed or improved to solve the problem posed, obtaining more information about the reality of the phenomenon that is being represented.
