Which of the following is not a characteristic of modern science? a. increased employment in universities and public industry b. professionalization c. of interest only to a small segment of society d. science is a tool for developing new technologies

Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Science is a branch of knowledge organized in a systematic way whereas modern science is the change in attitude towards observation and experimentation of different objects, principles or facts etc. Science is a tool for developing new technologies.

Modern science has increased a number of opportunities for people, provided various medicines for earlier non-curable diseases etc.

Modern science has increased employment in universities and public industry and it has increased professionalization.

Modern science is not limited to a small segment of society as it can be used by all people in the world or it is for each and everyone.

Thus, we can conclude option (c) is the correct answer.

in scientific notation, the value of the  speed of light in a vacuum

  will be written as 2.995 * 10^8. when this value is represented in the form of

  a * 10^b, then, a = 2.995 and b = 8.

the value of the speed of light in a vacuum given above can also be rounded up to approximately 300000000. in this case, the scientific notation will be written as 3 *10^8.

b. accuracy of the data matters alot more than its number of digits, organization or amount of detail. quantitative observation is more accepted than the qualitative observation.
