Answer:

Copernicus discoveres thr heliocentric theory. It was previously believed that everything orbited the Earth, geocentric theory. Copernicus said he believed the Earth and everything else orbited around the Sun.

A block of mass m1 = 3.5 kg moves with velocity v1 = 6.3 m/s on a frictionless surface. it collides with block of mass m2 = 1.7
maxonik [38]
First, let's find the speed v_i of the two blocks m1 and m2 sticked together after the collision.
We can use the conservation of momentum to solve this part. Initially, block 2 is stationary, so only block 1 has momentum different from zero, and it is:
p_i = m_1 v_1
After the collision, the two blocks stick together and so now they have mass m_1 +m_2 and they are moving with speed v_i:
p_f = (m_1 + m_2)v_i
For conservation of momentum
p_i=p_f
So we can write
m_1 v_1 = (m_1 +m_2)v_i
From which we find
v_i =  \frac{m_1 v_1}{m_1+m_2}= \frac{(3.5 kg)(6.3 m/s)}{3.5 kg+1.7 kg}=4.2 m/s

The two blocks enter the rough path with this velocity, then they are decelerated because of the frictional force \mu (m_1+m_2)g. The work done by the frictional force to stop the two blocks is
\mu (m_1+m_2)g  d
where d is the distance covered by the two blocks before stopping.
The initial kinetic energy of the two blocks together, just before entering the rough path, is
\frac{1}{2} (m_1+m_2)v_i^2
When the two blocks stop, all this kinetic energy is lost, because their velocity becomes zero; for the work-energy theorem, the loss in kinetic energy must be equal to the work done by the frictional force:
\frac{1}{2} (m_1+m_2)v_i^2 =\mu (m_1+m_2)g  d
From which we can find the value of the coefficient of kinetic friction:
\mu =  \frac{v_i^2}{2gd}= \frac{(4.2 m/s)^2}{2(9.81 m/s^2)(1.85 m)}=0.49

An electron and a proton are held on an x axis, with the electron at x = + 1.000 m and the proton at x = - 1.000 m.how much work
aksik [14]
It is required an infinite work. The additional electron will never reach the origin.

In fact, assuming the additional electron is coming from the positive direction, as it approaches x=+1.00 m it will become closer and closer to the electron located at x=+1.00 m. However, the electrostatic force between the two electrons (which is repulsive) will become infinite when the second electron reaches x=+1.00 m, because the distance d between the two electrons is zero:
F=k_e  \frac{q_e q_e}{d^2}
So, in order for the additional electron to cross this point, it is required an infinite amount of work, which is impossible.
