Answer 1

ANSWERS

• 2, Model

,

• 1, Extrapolation

,

• 6, Law

,

• 4, Interpolation

,

• 5, Open Physical System

,

• 3, Closed Physical System

Step-by-step explanation

• A ,model, is a representation of real life. It helps us understand and predict certain behaviors of systems. This matches with definition ,number 2,.

,

• Extrapolation, is when we have a data set and want to predict a value outside that set. To do so, we extend the information we already have to predict that value. This matches with definition ,number 1,.

,

• To obtain a ,law,, a scientific theory must be tested many times and never find a result that refutes that theory. This matches with definition ,number 6,.

,

• Interpolation, is similar to extrapolation, but instead of predicting a value outside of the set known, we want to predict a value that is among the given data. This matches definition ,number 4,.

,

• An ,open physical system, is a system that can interact (exchange matter and energy) with the environment. This matches with definition ,number 5,.

,

• A ,closed physical system,, on the other hand, is a system that cannot interact with the environment. This matches with definition ,number 3,.
