Galileo's observational contributionsGalileo Galilei was the first scientist to perform experiments in order to test his ideas.

He was also the first astronomer to systematically observe the skies with a telescope. Galileo made four key observations that challenged the widely accepted philosophical beliefs on which the geocentric model was based, thus providing support for the heliocentric model. From the following list of observations, which are the key observations made by Galileo that challenged widespread philosophical beliefs about the solar system?Check all that apply.- Jupiter has orbiting moons.- Venus is only seen in a crescent phase.- Uranus has a ring system.- Neptune has orbiting moons.- The Moon has a smooth, featureless surface.- The Sun has sunspots and rotates on its axis.- The Moon has mountains, valleys, and craters.- Venus goes through a full set of phases.

<h2>Answer: </h2><h2>- Jupiter has orbiting moons.</h2><h2>- The Sun has sunspots and rotates on its axis.</h2><h2>- The Moon has mountains, valleys, and craters.</h2><h2>- Venus goes through a full set of phases.</h2>

Explanation:

In 1609 Galileo built a telescope, with which he observed mountains and craters on the Moon, discovered Jupiter’s major satellites and the next year he published these discoveries in his book <em>The Sidereal Messenger</em>.

In addition, Galileo observed that Venus presented phases (such as those of the moon) together with a variation in size; observations that are only compatible with the fact that Venus rotates around the Sun and not around Earth. This is because <u>Venus presented its smaller size when it was in full phase and the largest size when it was in the new one, when it is between the Sun and the Earth.  </u>

<u />

On the other hand, <u>although Galileo was not the first to observe sunspots</u>, he gave the correct explanation of their existence, which supported the idea that planets revolve around the Sun.

These observations and discoveries were presented by Galileo to the Catholic Church (which supported the geocentric theory at that time) as a proof that completely refuted Ptolemy's geocentric system and affirmed Copernicus' heliocentric theory.

Anyone know how this work ?? <br> If u know help me it is an exam

Answer:

D) This is the correct answer

Explanation:

In this exercise the two ball loads are suspended by a thread.

To answer this exercise, let us remember that charges of the same sign repel and charges of a different sign attract.

Therefore, for the system to maintain equilibrium, the two charges must be of the same sign.

When examining the different proposals

A) in this case, as a sphere has no charge, there is no electric force and the induced charge is of the opposite sign, so the spheres attract each other

B) in this case there is an electric force, but being of a different sign, the force is attractive so the system is not in equilibrium

C) as the charges are of different magnitude the system does not have equal angles

D) This is the correct answer, since the charges have the same magnitude and are of the same sign, so the force is repulsive and is counteracted by the weight component

Why is the cycle of cellular respiration and photosynthesis important to life for plants
devlian [24]
The cycle of cellular respiration and photosynthesis are important for the life of plants because cellular respiration uses one of the products of photosynthesis (oxygen), and uses it as one of the reactants along with glucose to produce carbon dioxide. These two cycles help maintain a balance for our atmosphere, even though pollution and other factors have disrupted this balance. Hope this helps! :)
