Which scientist was the first to put the sun at the center of the "universe"?

Physics

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.

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

915 Hz

Explanation:

The observed frequency from a sound source is given as

f₀ = f [(v + v₀)/(v+vₛ)]

where

f₀ = observed frequency of the sound by the observer = ?

f = actual frequency of the sound wave = 983 Hz

v = actual velocity of the sound waves = 343 m/s

vₛ = velocity of the source of the sound waves = 55.9 m/s

v₀ = velocity of the observer = 28.4 m/s

f₀ = 983 [(343+28.4)/(343+55.9)]

f₀ = 915.2 Hz = 915 Hz

The weight of an astronaut plus his space suit on the Moon is only 250 N. (a) How much does the suited astronaut weigh on Earth?
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

a)1500N

b)153.06kg

Explanation:

F = ma

g(moon) = is the acceleration due to gravity on the moon

g(earth) is the acceleration due to gravity on the earth

g(moon) = 1/6g(earth)

g(earth) =6g(moon)

F(gearth) = mg(earth)

               = m 6g(moon)

               = 6 × 250

               = 1500N

b) F(gearth) = mg(earth)

m = F /g

 = 1500/9.8

 = 153.06kg

A crate is pushed horizontally by a horizontal force 527.018 N . Sliding friction resists the motion, and the kinetic coefficien
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

m= 10 kg a = 52 m / s²

Explanation:

For this problem we must use Newton's second law, let's apply it to each axis

X axis

      F - fr = ma

The equation for the force of friction is

    -fr = miu N

Axis y

     N- W = 0

     N = mg

Let's replace and calculate laceration

     F - miu (mg) = ma

    a = F / m - mi g

    a = 527.018 / m - 0.17 9.8

We must know the mass of the body suppose m = 10 kg

    a = 527.018 / 10 - 1,666

    a = 52 m / s²
