Yes. There were a few theories that lacked enough evidence at the time of their creation like that the sun was the actual center of the universe instead of the earth itself. The theorist behind this idea lacked some key evidence to this theory and wasn't able to find it before his death. A few decades later another scientist looked into this theory and ended up finding the missing evidence and was able to prove it and that is why we accept it as fact today.

Yes, it is possible for several scientists who have never met each other to contribute to the same scientific knowledge, theory, or law. Scientific knowledge is a continuous process. Most scientists who work in the same field never met each other. However by their work they contribute to the same scientific knowledge.

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

The Sun and planets are shown to the same scale. The small terrestrial planets and tiny Pluto are in the box---the Earth is the blue dot near the center of the box (montage created by Nick Strobel using NASA images).

Size

The Sun is by far the biggest thing in the solar system. From its angular size of about 0.5° and its distance of almost 150 million kilometers, its diameter is determined to be 1,392,000 kilometers. This is equal to 109 Earth diameters and almost 10 times the size of the largest planet, Jupiter. All of the planets orbit the Sun because of its enormous gravity. It has about 333,000 times the Earth's mass and is over 1,000 times as massive as Jupiter. It has so much mass that it is able to produce its own light. This feature is what distinguishes stars from planets.

Composition

What is the Sun made of? Spectroscopy shows that hydrogen makes up about 94% of the solar material, helium makes up about 6% of the Sun, and all the other elements make up just 0.13% (with oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen the three most abundant ``metals''---they make up 0.11%). In astronomy, any atom heavier than helium is called a ``metal'' atom. The Sun also has traces of neon, sodium, magnesium, aluminum, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, potassium, and iron. The percentages quoted here are by the relative number of atoms. If you use the percentage by mass, you find that hydrogen makes up 78.5% of the Sun's mass, helium 19.7%, oxygen 0.86%, carbon 0.4%, iron 0.14%, and the other elements are 0.54%.

a Car with a mass of 2000 kg is moving around a circular curve at a uniform velocity of 25 m/s the curve has a radius of 80 m wh
Viefleur [7K]
Well, first of all, the car is not moving at a uniform velocity, because,
on a curved path, its direction is constantly changing.  Its speed may
be constant, but its velocity isn't.

The centripetal force on a mass 'm' that keeps it on a circle with radius 'r' is

             F = (mass) · (speed)² / (radius).

For this particular car, the force is

                    (2,000 kg) · (25 m/s)² / (80 m)

                 = (2,000 kg) · (625 m²/s²) / (80 m)

                 = (2,000 · 625 / 80)  (kg · m / s²)

                 =              15,625  newtons .
