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.

Give an example of intense aerobics activity. Prompt must be accurate.

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

Explanation:

An example of an intense aerobic activity would be running/ sprinting sprinting targets six specific muscle groups: hamstrings, quadriceps, glutes, hips, abdominals and calves. Sprinting is a total body workout featuring short, high-intensity repetitions and long, easy recoveries.

A small 0.14 kg metal ball is tied to a very light (essentially massless) string that is 0.9 m long. The string is attached to t

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

a) v=2.743m/s

b) $a_c = 8.363m/s^2$

c) T=2.543N

Explanation:

First, calculate the height of the ball at the starting point:

$y' = 0.9cos(55)$

$y' = 0.516$

At this point, just in the moment the ball is released, all the energy of the system is potencial gravitational energy. When it is at the bottom all the potencial energy is transformed into kinetic energy:

$E_p=E_k\\mgh=\frac{mv^2}{2}$

Solving for v:

$v=\sqrt{2gh}$

if h is the height loss: (l-y')

v=2.743m/s

The centripetal acceleration is the acceleration caused by the tension force exercised by the string, and is pointing outside of the trayectory path (at the lowest point, directly dawn):

$a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}$

$a_c = 8.363m/s^2$

To calculate tension, just make the free body diagram of forces in the ball, noticing the existence of the centripetal acceleration:

$\sum{F_y}=ma_c=T-W\\T=ma_c+W\\T=m(a_c+g)\\T=0.14(8.363+9.8)\\T=2.543N$

Q2 A source of frequency 500 Hz emits waves of

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

4 secs

Explanation:

The first step is to calculate the velocity

V= frequency × wavelength

= 500× 0.2

= 100

Therefore the time can be calculated as follows

= distance/velocity

= 400/100

= 4 secs
