The great astronomer of ancient times who summarized and improved...in a book now called The Almagest) is Ptolemy This is further explained below.

<h3>Who is Ptolemy?</h3>

Generally, Claudius Ptolemy was a Greek mathematician, astronomer, and geographer who lived in the second century CE and is best known for proposing the geocentric model of the cosmos, which was used to explain planetary and stellar movements for the next thousand years.

In conclusion, Ptolemy, the ancient world's preeminent astronomer, compiled and refined a system of circles inside circles to describe the complexities of planetary motion, publishing his work in what is now known as The Almagest.

levacccp [35]

Answer:

0.2s

force = change in momentum/ time

time = change in momentum/time

Explanation:

first, let's find the change in momentum

pf-pi

5×(-2) - 5× 2

-20kgm/s = 20kgm/s(by changing the direction of whole system)

time = change in momentum/time

A 500 g model rocket is on a cart that is rolling to the right at a speed of 3.0 m/s . The rocket engine, when it is fired, exer
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

The rocket has to be launched 8 m from the hoop

Explanation:

Let's analyze this problem, the rocket is on a car that moves horizontally, so the rocket also has the same speed as the car; The initial horizontal rocket speed is (v₀ₓ = 3.0 m/s).

On the other hand, when starting the engines we have a vertical force, which creates an acceleration in the vertical axis, let's use Newton's second law to find this vertical acceleration

    F -W = m a

    a = (F-mg) / m

    a = F/m  -g

    a = 7.0/0.500  - 9.8

    a = 4.2 m/s²

We see that we have a positive acceleration and that is what we are going to use in the parabolic motion equations

Let's look for the time it takes for the rocket to reach the height (y = 15m) of the hoop, when the rocket fires its initial vertical velocity is zero (I'm going = 0)

    y = v_{oy} t + ½ a t²

    y = 0 + ½ a t²

    t = √ 2y/a

    t = √( 2 15 / 4.2)

    t = 2.67 s

This time is also the one that takes in the horizontal movement, let's calculate how far it travels

    x = v₀ₓ t

    x = 3 2.67

    x = 8 m

The rocket has to be launched 8 m from the hoop

A student sits at rest on a piano stool that can rotate without friction. The moment of inertia of the student-stool system is 4
bija089 [108]

Answer:

   w = 0.55 rad / s

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use the conservation of angular momentum, let's write the moment in two moments

Initial

    L₀ = r p + 0

    L₀ = r mv

The first term is the angular momentum of the mass

Final

      Lf = (I + m r²) w

Where I is the moment of inertia of the stool and the other term is the moment of inertia of the mass

      L₀ = Lf

      r mv = (I + m r²) w

      w = m r v / (I + m r²)

Let's calculate

      w = 2.0 0.45 3.0 / (4.5 + 2.0 0.45²)

      w = 2.7 / 4.9

     w = 0.55 rad / s

Anna [14]
<span>Transmission electron microscope -
 The transmission electron microscope uses electrons instead of light
. a light microscope is limited by the wavelength of light.
TEMs use electrons as "light source" and their much lower wavelength makes it possible to get a resolution a thousand times better than with a light microscope
. The possibility for high magnifications has made the TEM a valuable tool in both medical, biological and materials research.</span><span>Compound light microscope
- Microscope with more than one lens and its own light source
. There are ocular lenses in the bonicular eyepieces and objective lenses in a rotating nosepiece closer to the specimen. To ascertain the power of magnification of a compund light microscope, it's needed to take the power of the objective lens and multiply it by the eyepiece which is generally 10x. Although sometimes found as monocular with one ocular lens, the compound binocular microscope is more commonly used today. The first light microscope dates back to 1595, when Zacharias Jansen created a compound microscope that used collapsing tubes and produced magnifications up to 9X.
