F=mg

The force of gravity is the force with which the earth or other massively large object attracts another object towards itself. This is the weight of the object. All objects upon earth experience a force of gravity that is directed "downward" towards the center of the earth. The force of gravity on earth is always equal to the weight of the object as found by the equation F=mg.

Using geometrical arguments, we can see that the angle of the inclined plane \theta is equal to the angle between Fg and the perpendicular force.

But the perpendicular force is the projection of Fg along the perpendicular axis, and Fg=mg, so the correct answer is

a 2kg mass of copper falls from a height of 3m to an insulated floor. what is the maximum possible temperature increase of the c
Rainbow [258]

The maximum possible temperature increase of the copper is 0.076^{\circ}C

Explanation:

The energy gained by the mass of copper is equal to its change in gravitational potential energy, which is:

E=mg \Delta h

where

m = 2 kg is the mass of copper

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

\Delta h= 3m is the change in height of the copper

Substituting,

E=(2)(9.8)(3)=58.8 J

The energy gained by the copper is related to its change in temperature by

E=mC_s \Delta T

where

m = 2 kg is the mass

C_s = 385 J/kg^{\circ} is the copper specific heat capacity

\Delta T is the change in temperature

And solving for \Delta T,

\Delta T = \frac{E}{mC_s}=\frac{58.8}{(2)(385)}=0.076^{\circ}C

Why did Aristotle's geocentric theory fail to match the expected predictions?
NNADVOKAT [17]

Aristotle's geocentric theory failed to match the expected predictions because a few celestial objects appear to have retrograde motion.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

Aristotle’s theory states that all the bodies in universe rotate around the earth, and earth is located at the centre. But, the most serious challenge it was given was that, the difference found in the paths of revolution of mercury and Venus. They are revolving around the sun, and not the earth, periodically.

This is the significant drawback, and major factor for the Copernicus and the other models to be achieved. The mercury and Venus, closest planets to earth, and the sun too, are not following the earth’s path. And hence, upon studying clearly, all celestial bodies do not follow a path round the earth, but around a fireball, that is sun.
