Discovered by Sir Isaac Newton, this law states that every object in the universe that has mass attracts every other object in the universe that has mass. The force is proportional to the product of the two masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers. When applying this to a situation with two objects, the object with the smaller mass will do most of the moving because the other object has too much inertia to move any noticeable amount.


4. Without advanced technology like we have today, Ptolemy and Copernicus tried to best explain the model of the universe through observation. Ptolemy’s model came first and placed a stationary earth at the center of the model. Everything else moved in respect to earth. This was widely accepted since it seemed like earth was not moving. Ptolemy stated that the planetary bodies moved around the earth in circular paths. However, this wasn’t always witnessed through observation. He adjusted his model to state that some planets must be moving in secondary orbits.


Copernicus put a rotating earth in a sun-centered model. The rotation of earth was able to account for the rising and setting of stars. The orbital motion of the earth and moon also accounted for the motion of the sun and moon with respect to the stars. This was easier to understand but encountered scrutiny due to its differences from religious teachings.


One big difference between the approaches in the two is that Copernicus didn’t try to adjust his model to match what was going on; he used observations to develop the model. In addition, one common trend in science is that the simplest explanation is usually most accurate or closer to accurate. Copernicus’ model was more straightforward; Ptolemy’s was more complex.

<u>Answers</u>

1)  3,840 N

2) 80 m


<u>Explanations</u>

Centripetal force is the force that maintenance objects that are moving in a circular motion.

F = mv²/r

  = (1500 × 16²)/100

   = (1500×256)/100

     = 384000/100

     = 3,840 N

2) F = (mv²)/r

       6000 N = (1200 × 20²)/r

r = (1200 × 400)/6000

   = 480,000/6000

     = 80 m

Define relative density​
weeeeeb [17]

Hello There!

Relative density is another word for specific gravity. Relative density is comparing the density of one thing to the density of another. Most of the time, you look at the density of water so we look at the density of an object relative to the density of water.

Vector B~ has x, y, and z components of 8.7,
blagie [28]

Answer:

The magnitude of B is 10.95\ units

Explanation:

we know that

The magnitude of Vector B is

B=\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}}

where

x,y and z are the components of vector B

we have

x=8.7\ units, y=1.4\ units,z=6,5\ units

substitute

B=\sqrt{8.7^{2}+1.4^{2}+6.5^{2}}

B=\sqrt{119.9}

B=10.95\ units

A +5.00 pC charge is located on a sheet of paper.
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

a)    V = - x ( σ / 2ε₀)

c)  parallel to the flat sheet of paper

Explanation:

a) For this exercise we use the relationship between the electric field and the electric potential

          V = - ∫ E . dx        (1)

for which we need the electric field of the sheet of paper, for this we use Gauss's law. Let us use as a Gaussian surface a cylinder with faces parallel to the sheet

       Ф = ∫ E . dA = q_{int} /ε₀

the electric field lines are perpendicular to the sheet, therefore they are parallel to the normal of the area, which reduces the scalar product to the algebraic product

          E A = q_{int} /ε₀

area let's use the concept of density

        σ = q_{int}/ A

       q_{int} = σ A

          E = σ /ε₀

as the leaf emits bonnet towards both sides, for only one side the field must be

          E = σ / 2ε₀

         we substitute in equation 1 and integrate

      V = - σ x / 2ε₀  

       V = - x ( σ / 2ε₀)

if the area of ​​the sheeta is 100 cm² = 10⁻² m²

      V = - x  (10⁻²/(2 8.85 10⁻¹²) = - x  ( 5.6 10⁻¹⁰)

       

      x = 1 cm     V = -1   V

      x = 2cm     V = -2   V

This value is relative to the loaded sheet if we combine our reference system the values ​​are inverted

       V ’= V (inf) - V

       x = 1 V = 5

       x = 2 V = 4

       x = 3 V = 3

   

These surfaces are perpendicular to the electric field lines, so they are parallel to the sheet.

 

In the attachment we can see a schematic representation of the equipotential surfaces

b) From the equation we can see that the equipotential surfaces are parallel to the sheet and equally spaced

c) parallel to the flat sheet of paper
