Sure, I would be happy to help! Absolute value is a mathematical concept that represents the distance of a number from zero on a number line. It is always positive, regardless of whether the original number is positive or negative. For example, the absolute value of -5 is 5, and the absolute value of 5 is also 5.

In science, absolute value is often used to represent physical quantities such as distance, speed, and temperature. It can also be used to represent the magnitude of a vector, which is a quantity with both magnitude and direction.

One important property of absolute value is that it is always greater than or equal to 0. Another property is that the absolute value of a product is equal to the product of the absolute values of the individual factors. For example, the absolute value of -3 times 4 is equal to the absolute value of -3 multiplied by the absolute value of 4, which is 12.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions or if you need further clarification. Don't worry about not being knowledgeable in the field of science, everyone starts somewhere and I'm happy to help you learn.
