You have read "E = MC2: An Awesome Equation" and "One Strange World." Determine

whether each statement describes both Einstein and Feynman.
He wasn't the only scientist to come up with a particular
idea, but his version had the most impact.
He built upon the ideas of other scientists and developed a
theory that solved a problem the other scientists had
encountered.
Although he made some approximations that he did not
confirm in a lab, other scientists' experiments proved his
approximations were accurate.
His ideas have influenced other scientists' ideas about
matter.
Yes or no choices

Final answer:

Both Albert Einstein and Richard Feynman made significant contributions to physics, and some statements apply to them while others do not. All statements apply to both Einstein and Feynman except statement 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Both Albert Einstein and Richard Feynman made significant contributions to the field of physics. In terms of the statements provided:

  1. He wasn't the only scientist to come up with a particular idea, but his version had the most impact. This statement describes both Einstein and Feynman. While they were not the only scientists to work on their respective ideas, their versions had a significant impact on the field.
  2. He built upon the ideas of other scientists and developed a theory that solved a problem the other scientists had encountered. This statement also applies to both Einstein and Feynman. They both built upon the work of other scientists and developed theories that addressed problems faced by their predecessors.
  3. Although he made some approximations that he did not confirm in a lab, other scientists' experiments proved his approximations were accurate. This statement does not apply to either Einstein or Feynman. Both scientists conducted extensive experimental work to confirm their theories.
  4. His ideas have influenced other scientists' ideas about matter. This statement applies to both Einstein and Feynman. Their ideas have had a significant influence on other scientists' understanding of matter.
