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.

If we want to calculate the time it takes to fill a water tank, we need the flow and volume of the tank.

The flow must be a data, but for the volume of the tank we need mathematics.

For example, if it is a cylinder, we need mathematics to know that the volume of the cylinder is:

V = pi * r ^ 2 * h
