predict future events.
represent objects that are far off in space.
explain pseudoscience.

Answer 1

represent objects that are very small.

thats what she said........ @arabpride @leonardo0430

Answer 2

joking, the answer is predict future events.

Answer 3

and let me explain why they are used :)

Answer 4

a model is basically a future prediction

Answer 5

scientists use models so that they can predict the event of an experiment

Answer 6

by using a model they can way the pros and cons of an enterprise

Answer 7

however models arent real life and some have faults

Answer 8

also we cant always prepare for every scenario

Answer 9

think about it

Answer 10

before they make a nuclear bomb they wanna measure its blast radius so friendlies arent in danger close proximity

Answer 11

Answer 16

@BellaNina865 If you look at what PRAETORIAN.10 rambled on about, you can distill it down to this:

A model, as a generic term, is some sort of representation of something else. It is similar but not the same to the thing it represents. In some cases it may be very abstract, like a mathematical model of the stresses on a bridge, and in others it may be very literal, like how a model airplane looks like an airplane.

As he said, it is a took for prediction. Take my mathematical model of the stresses on a bridge as an example. What grade of materials will be needed to support the bridge? By doing a mathematical model you can predict what materials will meet those requirements. Or the scale model of an airplane as a prediction for air flow around the plane.

If you think about what is said there, you can see one of your options does not fall into either of those two uses. In fact, there is a word in the answer that contradicts the phrase "Models in science are used to..." completely.

Answer 17

@e.mccormick there's nothing wrong with my "rambling" bro. and your answer is good too.

Answer 18

Um, when did I say there was something wrong with it? Only issue I saw was when you said, "joking, the answer is predict future events." and then went on to explain that they are used to do just that.

Did you originally miss the word "except" in the question?
