The erroneous theory of Galileo was that tides were a result of the earth's what he called the inconsistent revolution around the sun. He was right about the most important thing of the earth revolving around the sun but didn't realize that the moon (and sun) exert a gravitational pull on the earth's oceans and cause the diurnal tides to occur.

Answer:

The erroneous theory of Galileo for formation of tides.

Explanation:

As per Galileo, Earth's moment around sun results into formation of tides as he was trying to connect this with Copernicus Universe structure.

But this theory for explaining tide formation was wrong as he did not took Moon's gravitational force into consideration.

Later on this was proved that tides are the result of gravitational force between the Earth and the Moon.

Answer:

The pendulum frequency  is (c) the same, or very close to it

Explanation:

The simple pendulum corresponds to a simple harmonic movement, to reach this approximation in the expression of the force the sine of the angle (θ) approaches an angle value, this is only true for small angles, generally less than 15º

Sine (15th) = 0.2588

The angle in radians is 15º π / 180º = 0.26180.2588 / 0.2618

The difference between these two values ​​is less than 1.2%

for smaller angle the difference is reduced more

Therefore, the period for both the 5º and 10º angles is almost the same

Mila [183]

Even though the object is weightless, it would need inertia, I.e, you pushing it or any form of transportation. So you would still have to push that 500kg to just keep it moving in space. Say if it were a planet with less gravitational force, it would be weightless.

Y_Kistochka [10]

Complete question is;

A bicycle and a car start their journey at the same time the cyclist reaches it's top speed of 10m/s in 15 s, the car reaches a speed of 15 m/s in 55 s. which has the greater acceleration the car or the bicycle.

Answer:

The bicycle has the greater acceleration.

Explanation:

Cyclist reaches a top speed of 10m/s in 15 s.

Formula for acceleration here is;

a = v/t

a = 10/15

a = 0.67 m/s²

Car reaches a speed of 15 m/s in 55 s.

Thus;

a = 15/55

a = 0.27 m/s²

From the 2 acceleration values gotten, we can say that;

The bicycle has the greater acceleration.
