Question

3 multiple choice 2 points when speaking about his accomplishments and contributions to the progress of science, isaac newton said, \if i have been able to see further, it is because i stood on the shoulders of giants.\ how does this statement apply to his scientific accomplishments? his new theories were an outgrowth of einsteins general theory of relativity. he invented the telescope to see further into the universe than had others before him. his law of universal gravitation was very much like the ptolemaic system of epicycles. his new theories increased scientific knowledge by looking at old observations in a new way. 4 multiple choice 1 point a microbiologist working at a pharmaceutical company is conducting a research project on a new medicine used to treat the common cold. why is it important for the scientist to keep accurate notes about the research? accurate notes are required to get the predicted results of the test. accurate notes will help other scientists replicate and validate the results. accurate notes are necessary for experiments conducted on human subjects. accurate notes will help to ensure that no one uses the same experimental methods.

Explanation:

• Question 3: Newton's statement implies building on past knowledge. Einstein came after Newton, so option 1 is wrong. Galileo invented the telescope, not Newton (option 2 wrong). The Ptolemaic system was geocentric and different from Newton's laws (option 3 wrong). Newton's theories (like universal gravitation) re - interpreted old observations (e.g., Kepler's laws) in a new, more comprehensive way (option 4 correct).
• Question 4: Accurate notes are not to get predicted results (results are based on the experiment, not notes - option 1 wrong). Notes are important for replication (a key part of scientific validation - option 2 correct). Experiments on human subjects have other ethical requirements, but accurate notes are a general scientific need (option 3 is too narrow). Science builds on methods, so we don't want to prevent use of methods (option 4 wrong).

Answer:

• Question 3: His new theories increased scientific knowledge by looking at old observations in a new way.
• Question 4: Accurate notes will help other scientists replicate and validate the results.
