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.

What is the direction of the normal contact force of the road on the wheels?
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

The direction of the contact forces acting on a body is not necessarily perpendicular to the contact surface. The resolution of contact forces in two components i.e. perpendicular to contact surface and along surface. Perpendicular component is normal force and parallel component is friction.

when two object P and Q are supplied with the same quantity of heat, the temperature change in P is observed to be twice that of
Ahat [919]

<h2>When two object P and Q are supplied with the same quantity of heat, the temperature change in P is observed to be twice that of Q. The mass of P is half that of Q. The ratio of the specific heat capacity of P to Q​</h2>

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity

It is defined as amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree celsius .

It is given as :

Heat absorbed = mass of substance x specific heat capacity x rise in temperature

or ,

Q= m x c x t

In above question , it is given :

For Q

mass of Q = m

Temperature changed =T₂/2

Heat supplied = x

Q= mc t

or

X=m x C₁ X T₁

or, X =m x C₁ x T₂/2

or, C₁=X x 2 /m x T₂                                 (equation 1 )

For another quantity : P

mass of P =m/2

Temperature= T₂

Heat supplied is same that is : X

so, X= m/2 x C₂ x T₂                            

or, C₂=2X/m. T₂                                   (equation 2 )

Now taking ratio of C₂ to c₁, We have

C₂/C₁= 2X /m.T₂  /2X  /m.T₂

so, C₂/C₁= 1/1

so, the ratio is 1: 1
