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.

Problem 1 Observer A, who is at rest in the laboratory, is studying a particle that is moving through the laboratory at a speed
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

markers are 29.76 m far apart in the laboratory

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

speed of particle = 0.624c

lifetime = 159 ns = 1.59 × 10⁻⁷ s

we know that; c is speed of light which is equal to 3 × 10⁸ m/s

we know that

distance = vt

or s = ut

so we substitute

distance = 0.624c × 1.59 × 10⁻⁷ s

distance = 0.624(3 × 10⁸ m/s) × 1.59 × 10⁻⁷ s

distance = 1.872 × 10⁸ m/s × 1.59 × 10⁻⁷ s

distance =  29.76 m

Therefore, markers are 29.76 m far apart in the laboratory
