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:

Yes, you are pulling on Earth. Reasoning. Third Newton's law of motion, action and reaction law, sates that for every action force, there is an equal (in magnitude) and opposite reaction force.

You pull with a force of 295 N on a rope that is attached to a block of mass 22 kg, and the block slides across the floor at a c
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

Fnet = 0

Explanation:

  • Since the block slides across the floor at constant speed, this means that it's not accelerated.
  • According Newton's 2nd Law, if the acceleration is zero, the net force on the sliding mass must be zero.
  • This means that there must be a friction force opposing to the horizontal component of the applied force, equal in magnitude to it:

       F_{appx} = F_{app} * cos \theta = 295 N * cos 35 = 242 N  (1)

  • In the vertical direction, the block is not accelerated either, so the sum of the normal force and the vertical component of the applied force, must be equal in magnitude to the force of gravity on the block:

      F_{appy} = F_{app} * cos \theta = 295 N * sin 35 = 169 N  (2)

⇒    169 N + Fn = Fg = 216 N  (3)

  • This means that there must be a normal force equal to the difference between Fappy and Fg, as follows:
  • Fn = 216 N - 169 N = 47  N (4)

Describe two experiments to determine the speed of propagation of a transverse wave on a rope. You have the following tools to u
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

#See solution for details.

Explanation:

1.

Tools:stopwatch, \ meter \ stick, \ mass \ measuring \ scale , \ force \ measuring  \ device.

Experiment \ 1:Calculate the speed of the wave using the time,t it takes to travel along the rope. Rope's length,L is measured using the meter stick.

-Attach one end of rope to a wall or post, shake from the unfixed end to generate a pulse. Measure the the time it takes for the pulse to reach the wall once it starts traveling using the stopwatch.

-Speed of the pulse can then be obtained as:

v=\frac{L}{t}

Experiment \ 2: Apply force of known value to the rope then use the following relation equation to find the speed of a pulse that travels on the rope.

v=\sqrt{\frac{F}{\mu}}\ ,\mu=\frac{m}{L}

-Use the measuring stick and measuring scale to determine L,m values of the rope then obtain \mu.

-Use the force measuring constant to determine F. These values can the be substituted in Experiment \ 1 to obtain v.
