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 hydraulic lift has pistons with diameter 28cm and 70cm, respectively. If a force of 500 N is exerted at the input piston. What

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

3125 N

Explanation:

diameter /2 =radius

so r1 =14cm , r2 =35cm

f1/A1 =f2/A2.

f2 = f1 × A2 / A1

=500×1225 pi cm² / 96 pi cm²

f2 =3125N

What properties of a sound wave determine volume, pitch, and timbre?

fiasKO [112]

Sound waves are changes in pressure generated by vibrating molecules. The physical characteristics of sound waves influence the three psychological features of sound: loudness, pitch, and timbre. Loudness depends on the amplitude,or height, of sound waves. The greater the amplitude, the louder the sound perceived.

A 70 kg driver gets into an empty taptap to start the day's work. The springs compress 2.3×10−2 m . What is the effective spring

ANEK [815]

Answer:

29856.521 N/m

Explanation:

$m=Mass\ of\ diver=70\ kg\\x=Length\ compressed\ by\ spring=2.3\times 10^{-2}\ m\\a=Acceleration\ due\ to\ gravity=9.81\ m/s^2\\F=Force\ exerted\ by\ diver=m\times a\\\Rightarrow F=70\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow F=686.7\ N\\k=spring\ constant\\F=k\times x\\\Rightarrow k=\frac {F}{x}\\\Rightarrow k=\frac {686.7}{2.3\times 10^{-2}}\\\therefore k=29856.521\ N/m$
