Why was miasma theory replaced?

1 answer:

8 0

In the mid of the 19th century the miasma theory was replaced by the germ theory of diseases (Maia 2013) The Greek physician Hippocrates (c.460- 377 B.C.E) believed that bad air could be the cause of any pestilences, the fatal epidemic.

(8c8p49) A 115g Frisbee is thrown from a point 1.00 m above the ground with a speed of 12.00 m/s. When it has reached a height o

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

The work done on the Frisbee is 1.36 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of Frisbee, m = 115 g = 0.115 kg

Initial speed of Frisbee, u = 12 m/s at a point 1 m above the ground

Final speed of Frisbee , v = 10.9674 m/s when it has reached a height of 2.00 m. Let W is the work done on the Frisbee by its weight. According to work energy theorem, the work done is equal to the change in its kinetic energy. So,

$W=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)\\\\W=\dfrac{1}{2}\times0.115\times\left((10.9674)^{2}-(12)^{2})\right)\\\\W=-1.36\ J$

So, the work done on the Frisbee is 1.36 J. Hence, this is the required solution.

An airplane maintains a speed of 585 km/h relative to the air it is flying through as it makes a trip to a city 815 km away to t

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

a) t = 1.47 h b) t = 1.32 h

Explanation:

a) In this problem the plane and the wind are in the same North-South direction, whereby the vector sum is reduced to the scalar sum (ordinary). Let's calculate the total speed

v = $v_{f}$ f - $v_{w}$

v = 585 -32.1

v = 552.9 km / h

We use the speed ratio in uniform motion

v = x / t

t = x / v

t = 815 /552.9

t = 1.47 h

b) We repeat the calculation, but this time the wind is going in the direction of the plane

v= $v_{f}$ f - $v_{w}$

v 585 + 32.1

v = 617.1 km / h

t = 815 /617.1

t = 1.32 h

5. If one object has a greater speed than a second object. does the first necessarily have a greater acceleration? Explain, usin

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

5. not necessarily so that the first object could have left with initial velocity and the second not, so even if the second has a greater acceleration its velocity is less than that of the first

6. The acceleration of the motorcycle is

SI System Reductions

Vo = 80 km / h (1000m / 1km) (1h / 3600s) = 22.2 m / s

Vf = 90 km / h (1000m / 1km) (1h / 3600s) = 25 m / s

Vf = Vo + at at = Vf-Vo

am = (Vf-Vo) / t

am = (25 -22.2) / t = 2.8 / t

am= 2.8/t

For the bike we have

Vf = 10 km / h (1000m / 1km) (1h / 3600s) = 2.78 m / s

Vo = 0

ab = (Vf -Vo) / t

ab = (2.78 -0) / t

ab = 2.8/t

Since time is the same for both of us, if we round to Significant figures the two accelerations are equal

7. If when an object is slowing or slowing down.

For example, a car goes north and must stop at the traffic light, the acceleration of the brakes goes south

8. Yes, since an object can go to the left and the acceleration to the right, but the object will lose speed over time

9. in the launch of projectiles the acceleration is negative and the speed after half the path is also negative

10. Car B must be moving to car A, because if they leave together B has more acceleration, bone that travels the distance at the same time

11. When we have friction, the velocity of an object increases by an external force, but the friction also increases the acceleration, but since it is positive, the velocity increases until the acceleration is zero and hence the velocity remains constant.
