Question

The science of physics, specifically projectile motion, goes hand in hand with the mathematics of trigonometry. We need the math of trigonometry to model the flight path of an object moving through the air. Describe another connection between a math topic and a non-math topic, where the math topic is needed to explain and model the non-math topic.

Answer 1

In radioactivity, we are either calculating the half-life of a sample, the amount of a sample left after a period of time or even the the disintegration constant of the sample. This is made possible through the knowledge of exponential increase or decrease as well as logarithmic functions.
