In what fundamental way did the work of Galileo differ from his predecessors who had thought about the sky?

Physics
1 answer:
kompoz [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: The correct answer is:

Galileo used instruments and experiments to show him what nature was doing, instead of relying on pure logic

Explanation:

Galileo can be considered as one of the precursors of experimentation and the scientific method. A method that doesn't rely on "common sense" and rationalization and logic, but instead is fuelled by a disposition of skepticism and rather makes claims about reality based on experimentation and empirical data shows.

Galileo differed from his predecessors because he actually used and developed instruments and method to reliable measure and observe what nature was doing, instead of relying on pure logic.

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

An Ocean beach

Explanation:

a Ocean beach is far heavier than the top of a mountain, despite that a mountain is made with many heavy rocks a Ocean beach may have light sand but the layers of sand and the width would be way heavier then the top of a mountain.

What does it mean when work is positive?
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

d. An object did work on the environment.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Work is defined in many contexts. Some of these are;

i. <em>Work is the product of force and displacement</em>. In this case, work done is positive if the force applied on an object or body and the displacement caused by the force are in the same direction. If instead the force and displacement are in opposite direction, then the work done will be negative. If it is the case the force and the displacement are perpendicular to each other, the work done is zero.

ii. In the first law of thermodynamics, the internal energy of a system is the sum of the work done and the heat exchanged between the system and the environment. Therefore, <em>work done is the difference between the internal energy of a system and the heat exchanged between the system and the environment</em>.

In this case, work is said to be positive if work is done by the system (object) on the environment. It is negative if work is done by the environment on the system (object).

Suppose a van de Graaff generator builds a negative static charge, and a grounded conductor is placed near enough to it so that
kozerog [31]

Given Information:

Charge = q = 7.0x10⁻⁶ C

Required Information:

Number of electrons = n = ?

Answer:

Number of electrons = 4.375x10¹³

Explanation:

We know that charge is given by

q = n*e

Where n is the number of electrons and e is the electronic charge that is 1.60x10⁻¹⁹ C

n = q/e

n = 7.0x10⁻⁶/1.60x10⁻¹⁹

n = 4.375x10¹³ electrons

Therefore, 4.375x10¹³ electrons were transferred.

4.Upthrust doesnt depend on the following Physical quantity?
NemiM [27]

Answer:

C: Mass of body

Explanation:

Upthrust is defined as the upward force that a liquid will exert on a body floating atop it.

Now, Formula for upthrust is;

Upthrust = density of liquid × volume of the body × acceleration due to gravity.

From the formula, we can see that upthrust depends on density, volume and acceleration due to gravity.

Thus, looking at the options, the one that doesn't apply is mass of body.
