Describe scientific explanation in detail. How does it relate to scientific hypothesis and scientific theory?

The term explanation may mean different things, especially in a wider perspective. However, in science, an explanation refers to the answer to a question that have stemmed from curiosity. Curiosity gives rise to questions that call for answers or explanations. Curiosity and inquisitiveness are among the characteristics that drive science to explore knowledge and use it for practical applications. The curiosity to know why the apple has fallen down from a tree has led Newton to wonder and apply the scientific method to arrive at a valid scientific explanation—the Law of gravitation. In short, the explanation that resolves ...

The commercial marketing towards children made their products irresistible, seemingly affordable, easy, and enjoyable. McDonald’s took the world by force, making hamburgers and French fries the answer to busy ...

Wave and Wind Power Generation

Wind Physics Basics Wind is atmospheric air which is in motion Energy Source The earth surface absorbs solar radiation differently. Some parts absorb more radiation than other. This creates pressure zones. As a result of pressure, air moves from high-pressure zones to low-pressure zones. This causes atmospheric air motion known as wind. Wind is a renewable source of energy. It is constantly available free of charge (Bhattacharyya, 2011).

Spatial scales

Atmospheric air motion can be categorized depending in terms of spatial scale. Four spatial scales identified include planetary scale, synoptic scale, mesoscale, and microscale. There are various types of spatial scales ...

Impact of Engineering Design

The proposed design has implications at a global level. Firstly, the Microsoft’s Kinect system has formed the basis for the continued evolution of scanning technologies. For instance, Hardesty (2015) reported algorithms that exploited the polarization of light to improve the depth sensing of the Microsoft’s Kinect system by a thousand fold. One of the challenges identified by Tong et al., (2012) regarding the Microsoft’s Kinect system was that it achieved a coarse depth. However, the combination of the depth frames from the Microsoft’s Kinect system for polarized photographs shows that Microsoft’s Kinect systems have ...
