What evidence did Galileo use to prove the heliocentric model?

1 answer:

8 0

<span>Galileo Galilei was the first astronomer to use a telescope to study the heavens. Galileo made a number of observations that finally helped convince people that the Sun-centered solar system model (the heliocentric model), as proposed by Copernicus, was correct. These arguments can be divided into two kinds: Those that proved that the Ptolemaic model was incorrect and those that undermined the broader philosophy of Aristotelianism that included the Ptolemaic model. We'll first consider some philosophically important observations and then the ones that pro</span>

Nitrogen gas (N2) and hydrogen gas (H2) combine to form ammonia (NH3). Which equation correctly represents this reaction?

sweet [91]

Answer:

The correctly equation is D) N2+ 3H2 → 2NH3

Explanation:

Both nitrogen and hydrogen are presented in bimolecular form (N2 and H2), on one side and on the other side of the equation we have 2 Nitrogens and 6 Hydrogens (it is balanced)

Describe the conditions which will cause a rock fracture!<br> Plz hurry

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

A fracture will sometimes form a deep fissure or crevice in the rock. Fractures are commonly caused by stress exceeding the rock strength, causing the rock to lose cohesion along its weakest plane. Fractures can provide permeability for fluid movement, such as water or hydrocarbons.

An airplane of mass 1.60 ✕ 104 kg is moving at 66.0 m/s. The pilot then increases the engine's thrust to 7.70 ✕ 104 N. The resis

(a) No, because the mechanical energy is not conserved

Explanation:

The work-energy theorem states that the work done by the engine on the airplane is equal to the gain in kinetic energy of the plane:

$W=\Delta K$ (1)

However, this theorem is only valid if there are no non-conservative forces acting on the plane. However, in this case there is air resistance acting on the plane: this means that the work-energy theorem is no longer valid, because the mechanical energy is not conserved.

Therefore, eq. (1) can be rewritten as

$W=\Delta K + E_{lost}$

which means that the work done by the engine (W) is used partially to increase the kinetic energy of the airplane ( $\Delta K$ ) and part is lost because of the air resistance ( $E_{lost}$ ).

(b) 77.8 m/s

First of all, we need to calculate the net force acting on the plane, which is equal to the difference between the thrust force and the air resistance:

$F=7.70\cdot 10^4 N - 5.00 \cdot 10^4 N=2.70\cdot 10^4 N$
