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.

Tamsen is interested in history, and read that because of its regular period, the pendulum constituted the basis of the most acc

geniusboy [140]

We will apply the concept of period in a pendulum, defined as the product between 2 $\pi$ by the square root of the length over gravity, this is mathematically

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

Here,

T = Period

L = Length

g = Acceleration due to gravity

For the period to be 1 second, then we must look for the necessary length for such a requirement so

$1 = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{9.8}}$

$(\frac{1}{2\pi})^2 = \frac{L}{9.8}$

$L = 9.8(\frac{1}{2\pi})^2$

$L = 0.2482m$

The meter's length would be slight less than one-fourth of its current length. Also, the number of significant digits depends only on how precisely we know g, because the time has been defined to be exactly 1s.

Therefore the correct answer is C.

What is the acceleration of a car initially traveling at -5m/s and<br> reaching -22m/s in 3s.

lozanna [386]

Answer:

$a=-5.67\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial velocity, u = -5 m/s

Final velocity, v = -22 m/s

Time, t = 3s

We need to find the acceleration of the car. The formula of it is given by :

Acceleration,

$a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{(-22)-(-5)}{3}\\\\a=-5.67\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of the car is $-5.67\ m/s^2$ .

How are human cheek cells and human skin cells similar and different

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

human cheek cell has got a nucleus, rbc doesnot

human cheek cell is found in the cheeks n made there whereas rbc is made in the bonemarrow and found in blood

human cheek cell serves the function of supplying nutrition to cheek by simply exchange while rbc transports oxygen around the body..

cheek cell can reproduce rbc cannot asit is non nucleated.The epithelial cells in the lining of the mouth are referred to as basal mucosa and divide roughly every 24 hours. They can easily be obtained through a simple swab or a mouth rinse. The cheek cell is very simple, but it contains the entire genetic makeup of the person's body. For this reason, cheek cells are frequently used to establish paternity and other investigations involving DNA. More recently, researchers have discovered that the cheek cell can be used to measure a person's likelihood of having high blood pressure.

A human cheek cell is thin, flat and irregularly shaped and has a large nucleus that contains the DNA. Its plasma membrane helps the cell to maintain suitable temperature while giving it its shape. Since it is selectively permeable, it only allows certain molecules into and out of the cell. Its cytoplasm contains water that dissolves nutrients and enzymes. It is an animal cell so it is different from plant cell.and the difference will be same as that with animal cell
