Answer to Problem 1MCPE

Solution: Mathematics is the true language of science.

Explanation of Solution

  • Science is nothing but study of natural phenomenon.
  • Nature has an exact correlation between all its activities.
  • These relations can’t be described without mathematics.
  • Thus mathematics is the true language of science.

We all know that there is something on Earth which pulls every object towards it by some force. There is a mathematical relation for force on every object by earth.

Force on every object is given by the mathematical equation.

    F=mg

    Here, m isthe mass of object
    g isthe acceleration due to gravity

Conclusion:

The above explanation helps us in understanding that mathematics is the true language of science.
