The widely accepted hypothesis before that turned out wrong was the Earth-Centered theory or the Geocentric Theory. This was proposed by the philosopher Ptolemy. He came about to this hypothesis from hi observation that from the Earth's perspective, the celestial bodies like the Sun, stars and the moon, look like they rotate around the Earth each day and night. However, this was disproved by Galileo Galelei by his Heliocentric Theory. He observed through the telescope that the Venus also changes phases like the moon. However, he deduced that this is not possible from the positions of the Venus, Earth, Moon and Sun.

Please help me with questions 1, 2 and 3. <br> i need a step by step explanation
kifflom [539]

Answer:

1) d

2) 5 m/s

3) 100

Explanation:

The equation of position x for a constant acceleration a and an initial velocity v₀, initial position x₀, time t is:

(i) x=\frac{1}{2}at^2+v_0t+x_0

The equation for velocity v and a constant acceleration a is:

(ii) v=at+v_0

1) Solve equation (ii) for acceleration a and plug the result in equation (i)

(iii) a = \frac{v -v_0}{t}

(iv) x = \frac{v-v_0}{2t}t^2+v_0t + x_0

Simplify equation (iv) and use the given values v = 0, x₀ = 0:

(v) x=-\frac{v_0}{2}t + v_0t= \frac{v_0}{2}t

2) Given v₀= 3m/s, a=0.2m/s², t=10 s. Using equation (ii) to get the final velocity v:v=at+v_0=0.2\frac{m}{s^2} * 10s+3\frac{m}{s}=2\frac{m}{s}+3\frac{m}{s}=5\frac{m}{s}

3) Given v₀=0m/s, t₁=10s, t₂=1s and x₀=0. Looking for factor f = x(t₁)/x(t₂) using equation(i) to calculate x(t₁) and x(t₂):

f=\frac{x(t_1)}{x(t_2)}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}at_1^2 }{\frac{1}{2}at_2^2}=\frac{t_1^2}{t_2^2}=\frac{10^2}{1^2}=\frac{100}{1}

What color do glacier appear if they are moving towards us?
kirill [66]

Answer:

Subcategories: Ice field

Explanation:

Glacier ice is blue because the red (long wavelengths) part of white light is absorbed by ice and the blue (short wavelengths) light is transmitted and scattered. The longer the path light travels in ice, the more blue it appears.

What is the relationship between speed and kinetic energy?
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

Kinetic energy depends on the velocity of the object squared. This means that when the velocity of an object doubles, its kinetic energy quadruples.

A camera with a 50.0-mm focal length lens is being used to photograph a person standing 3.00 m away. (a) How far from the lens m
kirill [66]

a) 50.8 mm

b) The whole image (1:1)

c) It seems reasonable

Explanation:

a)

To project the image on the film, the distance of the film from the lens must be equal to the distance of the image from the lens. This can be found by using the lens equation:

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}

where

f is the focal length of the lens

p is the distance of the object from the lens

q is the distance of the image from the lens

In this problem:

f = 50.0 mm = 0.050 m is the focal length (positive for a convex lens)

p = 3.00 m is the distance of the person from the lens

Therefore, we can find q:

\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{p}=\frac{1}{0.050}-\frac{1}{3.00}=19.667m^{-1}\\q=\frac{1}{19.667}=0.051 m=50.8 mm

b)

Here we need to find the height of the image first.

This can be done by using the magnification equation:

\frac{y'}{y}=-\frac{q}{p}

where:

y' is the height of the image

y = 1.75 m is the height of the real person

q = 50.8 mm = 0.0508 m is the distance of the image from the lens

p = 3.00 m is the distance of the person from the lens

Solving for y', we find:

y'=-\frac{qy}{p}=-\frac{(0.0508)(1.75)}{3.00}=-0.0296 m=-29.6mm

(the negative sign means the image is inverted)

Therefore, the size of the image (29.6 mm) is smaller than the size of the film (36.0 mm), so the whole image can fit into the film.

c)

This seems reasonable: in fact, with a 50.0 mm focal length, if we try to take the picture of a person at a distance of 3.00 m, we are able to capture the whole image of the person in the photo.
