The answer is:

B. false

Here's why:

The Ptolemaic model is not accurate and this is because the model is geocentric. This means that this model was developed with the assumption that the Earth was the center of the universe and the sun and the planets revolved around it. Science has already proven that this is not true.

This model was developed by Claudius Ptolemy.

An empty 2,500 kg train car is headed northbound at a velocity of 5 m/s. Ahead of the first car, an empty 1,500 kg car is headed

Tema [17]

Let the mass of 2500 kg car be $m_1$ and it's velocity be $v_1$ and the mass of 1500 kg car be $m_2$ and it's velocity be $v_2$ .

After the bumping the mass be M and it's velocity be V.

By law of conservation of momentum we have

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2 = MV$

2500 * 5 + 1500 * 1=4000 * V

V = 14000/4000 = 7/2 = 3.5 m/s

So the velocity of the two-car train = 3.5 m/s

What is the electrical consumption in KVA of a motor powered by a 3-phase, 60 Hz, 460 VAC supply that continuously draws 17 A

MrRa [10]

Answer:

15.34 kVA

Explanation:

A motor is a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. It takes in electrical energy at the input and produce torque (motion) at the output.

The power consumption for a three phase motor is the product of voltage and current and √3. The √3 is because it is a three phase supply.

Hence Power (P) =√3 × voltage (V) × current (I)

P = √3 × V × I

Given that voltage (V) = 460 V, current (I) = 17 A. Hence:

P = √3 × V × I = √3 × 460 × 17 = 13544.64 VA

But 1000 VA = 1 kVA. Hence:

$P=13544.64\ VA*\frac{1\ kVA}{1000\ VA}=13.54\ kVA$

Can a body have constant speed and still be acclerating ? Give an Example

Allushta [10]

Hi Pupil Here's Your answer :::

➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡

An object moving with constant speed can be accelerated if direction of motion changes. For example, an object moving with a constant speed in a circular path has an acceleration because its direction of motion changes continuously.

This is a two part question: What is the force of friction acting on a 100 kg steel slab at rest on a steel floor?

Crazy boy [7]

1) 0N... friction opposes the motion of an object, since the block is at rest there is no motion thus no friction

2) F=ma
= (5.5kg)(30m/s)
=165 N
