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

1 answer:

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.

Answer:

q=3.5*10^-4

Explanation:

<u>concept:</u>

The force acting on both charges is given by the coulomb law:

F=kq1q2/r^2

the centripetal force is given by:

Fc=mv^2/r

The kinetic energy is given by:

KE=1/2mv^2

<u>The tension force:</u>

<u><em>when the plane is uncharged </em></u>

T=mv^2/r

T=2(K.E)/r

T=2(50 J)/r

T=100/r

<u><em>when the plane is charged </em></u>

T+k*|q|^2/r^2=2(K.E)charged/r

100/r+k*|q|^2/r^2=2(53.5 J)/r

q=√(2r[53.5 J-50 J]/k) √= square root on whole

q=√2(2)(53.5 J-50 J)/8.99*10^9

q=3.5*10^-4

A block of mass 0.221 kg is placed on top of a light, vertical spring of force constant 5365 N/m and pushed downward so that the

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

The maximum height above the point of release is 11.653 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of block = 0.221 kg

Spring constant k = 5365 N/m

Distance x = 0.097 m

We need to calculate the height

Using stored energy in spring

$U=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2$ ...(I)

Using gravitational potential energy

$U' =mgh$ ....(II)

Using energy of conservation

$E_{i}=E_{f}$

$U_{i}+U'_{i}=U_{f}+U'_{f}$

$\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2+0=0+mgh$

$h=\dfrac{kx^2}{2mg}$

Where, k = spring constant

m = mass of the block

x = distance

g = acceleration due to gravity

Put the value in the equation

$h=\dfrac{5365\times(0.097)^2}{2\times0.221\times9.8}$

$h=11.653\ m$

Hence, The maximum height above the point of release is 11.653 m.
