Question

1. the effect of scientific discoveries during the industrial revolution was to grow europes economy. why did the scientific revolution not have this effect?

europeans had become much more greedy by the start of the industrial revolution and only used science to make money.
the scientific laws that were discovered during the scientific revolution had nothing to do with how objects move.
the scientists of the scientific revolution did experiments to gain knowledge--they did not focus on practical applicatioins for science.
new economic systems were required to make use of scientific discoveries--these systems did not exist during the scientific revolution.

Explanation:

The Scientific Revolution focused on theoretical, knowledge-driven scientific inquiry rather than applying discoveries to industrial or economic production. In contrast, the Industrial Revolution leveraged science for practical, economic uses. Let's analyze the options:

1. The first option is incorrect because greed is not a valid historical reason for the difference in economic impact.
2. The second option is false; key Scientific Revolution discoveries (like Newton's laws) centered on object motion.
3. The third option is partially true but incomplete, as structural economic factors also played a role.
4. The fourth option is correct: the Scientific Revolution lacked the capitalist, market-focused economic systems that allowed the Industrial Revolution to translate science into large-scale economic growth. These systems enabled investment, mass production, and commercialization of scientific innovations, which were absent earlier.

Answer:

D. New economic systems were required to make use of scientific discoveries--these systems did not exist during the Scientific Revolution.
