Answer: C. Nicolas Copernicus

Explanation:

Copernicus's model of the universe (heliocentric theory) was refuting the long life geocentric theory (the Earth as the center of the universe) proposed by <u>Ptolemy</u> and accepted by the Catholic Church.

In this sense, <u>Ptolemy's model of the universe placed the Earth in the center of the known universe</u>, where our planet remains stationary while the other planets, the Moon and the Sun describe complicated orbits around it.

As Ptolemy was a respected astronomer and geographer, this idea was accepted for a long time, until Copernicus arrived with the new model.

A) Julie is running to the right at 5 m/s, as shown in the 1st figure. Balls 1 and 2 are thrown toward her at 10 m/s by friends

Svetach [21]

Part 1)

here Julie is running at speed 5 m/s

So here two balls are thrown at speed 10 m/s towards Julie with respect to her friend standing on the ground.

So here this all speed is real speed of all.

Now as per Anita (let say she is one of her friend standing on ground) the speed of two balls will be same as the given speed as she is observing from ground or stationary frame

As per the frame of Julie

speed of ball 1

$v_{1j} = v_1 - v_j$
