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.

There is a bell at the top of a tower that is 45 m high. The bell weighs 190 N. The bell has ____________

salantis [7]

Answer:

The bell has a potential energy of 8550 [J]

Explanation:

Since the belt is 45 [m] above ground level, only potential energy is available. And this energy can be calculated by means of the following equation.

$E_{p}= W*h\\E_{p} = 190*45\\E_{p}=8550[J]$

A hopper jumps straight up to a height of 1.3 m. With what velocity did he leave the floor

xxMikexx [17]

The velocity with which the jumper leaves the floor is 5.1 m/s.

<h3>What is the initial velocity of the jumper?</h3>

The initial velocity of the jumper or the velocity with which the jumper leaves the floor is calculated by applying the principle of conservation of energy as shown below.

Kinetic energy of the jumper at the floor = Potential energy of the jumper at the maximum height

¹/₂mv² = mgh

v² = 2gh

v = √2gh

where;

v is the initial velocity of the jumper on the floor
h is the maximum height reached by the jumper
g is acceleration due to gravity

v = √(2 x 9.8 x 1.3)

v = 5.1 m/s

Change of 5000 c flows through a circuit in one hour. what is the current intensity?

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

I = 1.38 A

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge, q = 5000 C

Time, t = 1 hour = 3600 s

We need to find the current intensity. The current intensity is equal to the electric charge per unit time. It can be given by :

$I=\dfrac{q}{t}$

Substitute all the values in the above formula

$I=\dfrac{5000\ C}{3600\ s}\\\\=1.38\ A$

So, the current intensity is 1.38 A.
