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.

How does a substance's temperatura chanté when the average kinetic energy of its particles increases? When it decreases?
Aleks [24]
Kinetic energy means movement. This means that the more something moves, the more kinetic energy it will have! And the faster something moves, the more heat it produces! Altogether, this means that the more Kinetic energy something has, the hotter it will be!

The opposite is also true. The less something moves, it will have less Kinetic energy and the colder it will get. 

If you're having trouble understanding this, think of it like how the particles in water move compared to how the particles in ice move. The particles in water are free flowing and can move wherever they want. If they get colder, they won't move as much, and eventually they'll stop flowing around, forming a solid and staying colder than the water will get.

If a car has an initial velocity of 20 m/s and accelerates at 2.0 m/s² for 100 m, what is its final velocity?
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

28.28 ms-1

Explanation:

v² = u² + 2as

v² = 20² + 2× 2×100

v² = 800

v = 28.28 ms-1

A charged particle moves through a velocity selector at a constant speed in a straight line. The electric field of the velocity
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

The charge-to-mass ratio of the particle is 5.7 × 10⁵ C/kg

Explanation:

From the formulae

F = qvB and F = mv²/r

Where F is Force

q is charge

v is speed

B is magnetic field strength

m is mass

and r is radius

Then,

qvB = mv²/r

qB = mv/r

We can write that

q/m = v/rB ---- (1)

Also

From Electric force formula

F = Eq

Where E is the electric field

and magnetic force formula

F = Bqv

Since, electric force = magnetic force

Then, Eq = Bqv

E = Bv

∴ v = E/B

Substitute v = E/B into equation (1)

q/m = (E/B)/rB

∴ q/m = E/rB²

(NOTE: q/m is the charge to mass ratio)

From the question,

E =  3.10 ×10³ N/C

r = 4.20 cm = 0.0420 m

B = 0.360 T

Hence,

q/m = 3.10 ×10³ / 0.0420 × (0.360)²

q/m = 569517.9306 C/kg

q/m = 5.7 × 10⁵ C/kg

Hence, the charge-to-mass ratio of the particle is 5.7 × 10⁵ C/kg.
