Science is first the comprehensive study of the natural and physical environment. (that's like Biology, anatomy, and mathematics )

Science is second the body of knowledge based on facts and principles gained by scientific method (like experiments and observations)

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

kompoz [17]

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.

A disk of radius a has a total charge Q uniformly distributed over its surface. The disk has negligible thickness and lies in th

sleet_krkn [62]

The electric potential V(z) on the z-axis is : V = $(\frac{Q}{a^2} ) [ (a^2 + z^2)^{\frac{1}{2} } -z$

The magnitude of the electric field on the z axis is : E = kб 2 $\pi$ ( 1 - [z / √(z² + a² ) ] )

<u>Given data :</u>

V(z) =2kQ / a²(v(a² + z²) ) -z

<h3>Determine the electric potential V(z) on the z axis and magnitude of the electric field</h3>

Considering a disk with radius R

Charge = dq

Also the distance from the edge to the point on the z-axis = √ [R² + z²].

The surface charge density of the disk ( б ) = dq / dA

Small element charge dq = б( 2πR ) dr

dV $\frac{k.dq}{\sqrt{R^2+z^2} } \\\\= \frac{k(\alpha (2\pi R)dR}{\sqrt{R^2+z^2} }$ ----- ( 1 )

Integrating equation ( 1 ) over for full radius of a

∫dv = $\int\limits^a_o {\frac{k(\alpha (2\pi R)dR)}{\sqrt{R^2+z^2} } } \,$

V = $\pi k\alpha [ (a^2+z^2)^\frac{1}{2} -z ]$

= $\pi k (\frac{Q}{\pi \alpha ^2})[(a^2 +z^2)^{\frac{1}{2} } -z ]$

Therefore the electric potential V(z) = $(\frac{Q}{a^2} ) [ (a^2 + z^2)^{\frac{1}{2} } -z$

Also

The magnitude of the electric field on the z axis is : E = kб 2 $\pi$ ( 1 - [z / √(z² + a² ) ] )

Hence we can conclude that the answers to your question are as listed above.

A 13 kg hanging sculpture is suspended by a 95-cm-long, 5.0 g steel wire. When the wind blows hard, the wire hums at its fundame

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

$f=81.96 \ Hz$

Explanation:

Givens

$L=95cm$

$m_{sculpture} =13kg$

$m_{wire}=5g$

The frequency is defined by

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}$

Where $v$ is the speed of the wave in the string and $\lambda$ is its wave length.

The wave length is defined as $\lambda = 2L = 2(0.95m)=1.9m$

Now, to find the speed, we need the tension of the wire and its linear mass density

$v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} }$

Where $\mu=\frac{0.005kg}{0.95m}= 5.26 \times 10^{-3}$ and the tension is defined as $T=m_{sculpture} g=13kg(9.81 m/s^{2} )=127.53N$

Replacing this value, the speed is

$v=\sqrt{\frac{127.53N}{5.26 \times 10^{-3} } }=155.71 m/s$

Then, we replace the speed and the wave length in the first equation

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}\\f=\frac{155.71 m/s}{1.9m}\\ f=81.96Hz$

Therefore, the frequency is $f=81.96 \ Hz$

A wall clock has a minute hand with a length of 0.55 m and an hour hand with a length of 0.26 m. Take the center of the clock as

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

The magnitude of the acceleration of the tip of the minute hand of the clock $1.675\times10^{-6}\ m/s^2$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of minute hand = 0.55 m

Length of hour hand = 0.26 m

The time taken by the minute hand to complete one revelation is

$T= 3600\ sec$

We need to calculate the angular frequency

Using formula of angular frequency

$\omega=\dfrac{2\pi}{T}$

Put the value into the formula

$\omega=\dfrac{2\pi}{3600}$

$\omega=0.001745\ rad/s$

We need to calculate the magnitude of the acceleration of the tip of the minute hand of the clock

Using formula of acceleration

$a=r\omega^2$

Put the value into the formula

$a=0.55\times(0.001745)^2$

$a=1.675\times10^{-6}\ m/s^2$

Hence, The magnitude of the acceleration of the tip of the minute hand of the clock $1.675\times10^{-6}\ m/s^2$ .
