Explain, according to both geocentric and heliocentric cosmologies, why we see retrograde motion of the planets.

Answer:

Because of different orbital speed

Explanation:

Retrograde Motion: Retrograde motion is the apparent movement of the planet in the sky where it appears to move backwards in their orbit even though it is moving forward. It should be noted that in reality it moves forward in its orbit.

This apparent motion is seen because of the relative position of Earth and Planet. The orbital speed of Earth and planets are different which results in this retrograde motion. Even in the geocentric model this retrograde motion was observed because. Although the Earth was considered stationary different planets showed retrograde motion because of their respective orbital speed which was not same for all.

How do you think car makers can design cars to limit cell phone distractions?
Dafna11 [192]

I have two (2) brilliant ideas:

1). Inside the metal that the body of the car is made of, and also between the two sheets of glass that the windows are made of, install a thin layer of material that absorbs RF (radio-wave) energy . . . like the material in the glass window of your microwave oven.  Then, no radio waves from the cellular base station can get INTO the car, and no radio waves from your phone can get OUT of the car.  The phone can't make a connection to the cellular network, you can't make or receive calls, and you can't connect to Instagram or Brainly, so you might as well just turn it off and save your battery until next time you're outside your car.

2). Somewhere inside the car, like under the dash or in the glove box, install a teeny tiny radio receiver that can recognize the signals coming OUT of your phone.  Connect it to the car's electrical system so that when it hears signals from phones inside the car, it it shuts down the car's motor so you can't start or drive. The car only works when phones inside the car are either turned off or in Airplane Mode.

My ideas are so brilliant that I really should patent them, or copyright them, or whatever you do so that other people have to pay you to use your idea. But if you want to use them, that's OK.  Just go ahead. I won't mind.

Positive electric charge Q is distributed uniformly throughout the volume of an insulating sphere with radius R.From the express
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Vb = k Q / r        r <R

Vb = k q / R³ (R² - r²)    r >R

Explanation:

The electic potential is defined by

             ΔV = - ∫ E .ds

We calculate the potential in the line of the electric pipe, therefore the scalar product reduces the algebraic product

             VB - VA = - ∫ E dr

Let's substitute every equation they give us and we find out

r> R

           Va = - ∫ (k Q / r²) dr

           -Va = - k Q (- 1 / r)

We evaluate with it Va = 0 for r = infinity

          Vb = k Q / r        r <R

         

We perform the calculation of the power with the expression of the electric field that they give us

           Vb = - int (kQ / R3 r) dr

  We integrate and evaluate from the starting point r = R to the final point r <R

         Vb = ∫kq / R³ r dr

         Vb = k q / R³ (R² - r²)

This is the electric field in the whole space, the places of interest are r = 0, r = R and r = infinity

A man standing 1.54 m in front of a shaving mirror produces a real, inverted image 15.2 cm from it. What is the focal length of
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

The focal length is 16.86 cm and the distance of the man  if he wants to form an upright image of his chin that is twice the chin's actual size is 8.43 cm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Object distance u=1.54 m =154 cm

Image distance v = 15.2 cm

Magnification = 2

We need to calculate the focal length

Using formula of mirror

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{v}+\dfrac{1}{u}

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{15.2}+\dfrac{1}{-154}

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{347}{5852}

f=16.86\ cm

We need to calculate the focal length

Using formula of magnification

m= \dfrac{-v}{u}

Put the value into the formula

2=\dfrac{v}{u}

v = -2u

Using formula of for focal length

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{u}+\dfrac{1}{v}

\dfrac{1}{16.86}=\dfrac{1}{u}-\dfrac{1}{2u}

\dfrac{1}{16.86}=\dfrac{1}{2u}

2u=16.86

u=\dfrac{16.86}{2}

u=8.43\ cm

Hence, The focal length is 16.86 cm and the distance of the man  if he wants to form an upright image of his chin that is twice the chin's actual size is 8.43 cm.

What are the three important safety factors for surgical technologists to consider when exposed to ionizing radiation?
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Exposure time limitation, shielding and distance.

Explanation:

  • Limitation of exposure time, since the dose received is directly proportional to the exposure time, so that, at a shorter time, lower dose. For this reason, planning is suggested, to reduce time.
  • Use of shields. This allows a reduction in the dose received by the technician when filtered by the barrier (screen). There are two types of shields or screens, the primary barriers (attenuate the radiation of the primary beam) and the secondary barriers (avoid diffuse radiation).
  • Distance to the radioactive source. The dose received is inversely proportional to the square of the distance to the radioactive source. Therefore, if the distance is doubled, the dose received will decrease by a quarter. Reason for this, it is advisable to use devices or remote controls whenever possible.
