which of the following astronomers introduced the most widely accepted hypothesis regarding the origin of the solar system?

1 answer:

6 0

The astronomers introduced the most widely accepted hypothesis regarding the origin of the solar system is Immanuel Kant in 1755.

Newton's equations of gravity and rotatory motion served as the foundation for most of Kant's theories. He believed that primaeval matter, which he believed to have been generated supernaturally, was dispersed throughout the cosmos. Small, chilly, hard particles made up this substance.

Due to the gravitational pull of one another, these particles were drawn to one another.

In his 1755 "The Universal Natural History and Views of the Heavens," Kant discusses astronomy as well as two significant cosmological theories. The first is his "Nebular Hypothesis" on the formation of stars and planets, in which he proposed that faint, thin clouds of dust and gas far out in space would collapse in on themselves under the influence of gravity, forcing them to spin to form a disc. The development of stars and planets from this rotating disc would account for the rotation of Earth and the other planets.

When the frequency of an ac circuit is decreased, the current in the circuit increases. which combination of elements is most li

zaharov [31]

Answer:

The combination of elements most likely to comprise the circuit are resistor, inductor and capacitor

Explanation:

The impedance of an LCR circuit shown as

Z = √R² + (X↓l - X↓c)²

Z = √R² + (2π∨L - 1/2π∨c)²

Variation of Z with respect to υ is shown in the figure.

As υ increases, Z decreases and so the current increases.

At υ = υ↓r

Z is minimum, current is maximum. Beyond

υ = υ↓r

Z increases and so current decreases.

so the combination of circuit elements that is most suitable to comprise

the circuit is R, L and C.

D. 51 N. The minimum applied force that will cause the television slide is 51 N.

In order to solve this problem we have to use the force of static friction equation Fs = μs*n, where μs is the coefficient of static friction, and n is the normal force m*g.

With μs = 0.35, and n = 15kg*9.8m/s² = 147 N

Fs = (0.35)(147 N)

Fs = 51.45 N

Fs ≅ 51 N

A force F=0.12N is aplied on spring and spring elongates by 3cm . specific constant of spring

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

The spring constant is 4 N/m

Explanation:

When a spring is stretched/compressed by the application of a force, the relationship between the magnitude of the force applied and the elongation of the spring is given by Hooke's law:

$F=kx$

where

F is the magnitude of the spring applied

k is the spring constant

x is the elongation of the spring, relative to its equilibrium position

For the spring in this problem, we have:

F = 0.12 N (force applied)

x = 3 cm = 0.03 m (elongation of the spring)

Therefore, we can solve the formula for k to find the spring constant:

$k=\frac{F}{x}=\frac{0.12}{0.03}=4 N/m$

A steel wire of length 31.0 m and a copper wire of length 17.0 m, both with 1.00-mm diameters, are connected end to end and stre

Brut [27]

Answer:

The time taken is $t = 0.356 \ s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length of steel the wire is $l_1 = 31.0 \ m$

The length of the copper wire is $l_2 = 17.0 \ m$

The diameter of the wire is $d = 1.00 \ m = 1.0 *10^{-3} \ m$

The tension is $T = 122 \ N$

The time taken by the transverse wave to travel the length of the two wire is mathematically represented as

$t = t_s + t_c$

Where $t_s$ is the time taken to transverse the steel wire which is mathematically represented as

$t_s = l_1 * [ \sqrt{ \frac{\rho * \pi * d^2 }{ 4 * T} } ]$

here $\rho_s$ is the density of steel with a value $\rho_s = 8920 \ kg/m^3$

$t_s = 31 * [ \sqrt{ \frac{8920 * 3.142* (1*10^{-3})^2 }{ 4 * 122} } ]$

$t_s = 0.235 \ s$

And

$t_c$ is the time taken to transverse the copper wire which is mathematically represented as

$t_c = l_2 * [ \sqrt{ \frac{\rho_c * \pi * d^2 }{ 4 * T} } ]$

here $\rho_c$ is the density of steel with a value $\rho_s = 7860 \ kg/m^3$

$t_c = 17 * [ \sqrt{ \frac{7860 * 3.142* (1*10^{-3})^2 }{ 4 * 122} } ]$

$t_c =0.121$

$t = t_c + t_s$

$t = 0.121 + 0.235$

$t = 0.356 \ s$

Which describes an atom that has fewer neutrons than protons and more electrons than protons?

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

negative ion

Explanation:

An atom that has fewer neutrons than protons and more electrons than protons is a negative ion.

The positively charged particles in an atom are the protons

The negatively charged particles in an atom are the electrons.

The charge an atom carries depends on the balance between the number of protons and electrons in an atom.

When the number of protons is more than the number of electrons, the atom is positively charged.
When the number of electrons is more than the number of protons, the atom is negatively charged.
