A scientific theory is different from a hypothesis because a theory is a educated guess that is being worked on and proven correct and a hypothesis is a educated guess it is a guess that needs to be proven.

The experiments Galileo performed, such as rolling a ball down an inclined plane, are important because they
anyanavicka [17]

Galileo Galilei is one of the key figures in the history of Science, being the first to apply the experimental-mathematical scientific method. He carried out experiments and careful observations in kinematics (his studies on the trajectory of projectiles are famous) and dynamics (it should be noted his careful experiments with inclined planes), establishing the first law of Dynamics (which Newton will later collect and refine in his Principles); and in Astronomy, with which he could unequivocally support the heliocentric theory.

His experiments were addressed by methodologies that allowed him to precisely find his mathematical calculations and to verify theories he was developing over time. His manuscripts were key to disseminate the applied method and extrapolate them to other scientific areas.

Therefore the correct answer is C.

The force of gravity on a 1 kg object on the Earth's surface is approximately 9.8 N. For the same object in low-earth orbit arou
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

g = 8.61 m/s²

Explanation:

distance of the International Space Station form earth is 200 Km

mass of the object = 1 Kg

acceleration due to gravity on earth = 9.8 m/s²

mass of earth = 5.972 x 10²⁴ Kg

acceleration due to gravity = ?

r = 6400 + 200 = 6800 Km = 6.8 x 10⁶ n

using formula

 g = \dfrac{GM}{r^2}

 g = \dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 5.972\times 10^24}{(6.8\times 10^6)^2}

        g = 8.61 m/s²

A 2kg object is tied to the end of a cord and whirled in a horizontal circle of radius 2 m. If the body makes three complete rev
Travka [436]

Answer:

a) 37.70 m/s

b)710.6 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that ;

Mass of object = 2 kg

Radius of the motion = 2m

Frequency of motion = 3 rev/s

The formula to apply is;

v= 2πrf   where v is linear speed

v = 2×π×2×3 =12π = 37.70 m/s

Centripetal acceleration is given as;

a= 4×π²×r×f²  

a= 4×π²×2×3²

a=710.6 m/s²

Alika [10]

Answer:

Number of revolutions=1.532 revolutions

Explanation:

Given data

Distance s=8.0 m

Angular speed a=1.2 rev/s

To find

Number of revolutions

Solution

From the equation of simple motion we not that

S=ut+1/2gt^{2}\\ where\\u=0\\So\\8.0m=0+(1/2)(9.8m/s^{2} )t^{2}\\ t^{2}=\frac{8.0m}{0.5*9.8m/s^{2} } \\ t^{2}=1.63\\t=\sqrt{1.63} \\t=1.28s

So for the number of revolutions she makes is given as

n=a*t\\n=(1.2rev/s)(1.28s)\\n=1.532revolutions

Explain how friction keeps a nail in place in a block of wood. If you try pull out the nail which way does friction act?
Bess [88]

Answer:

Opposite to the direction that you are pulling

Explanation:

Static friction acts in the opposite direction to the acceleration.

Kinetic friction acts in the opposite direction to the velocity.
