Aristarchus(310-230 BC)
Aristarchus was a Greek Astronomer and Mathematician. He proposed the heliocentric model of the Solar System. He attempted to measure the distances from the moon to the sun.
Aristotle (334-322 BC)
<span>Aristotle was a Greek Philosopher. He was the first person to propose this historical model. He thought the Earth was in the center of all celestial beings. His idea was that the Earth was in the middle of the sun, moon, stars, and other planets. </span>
Ptolemy(100-170 CE)
<span>Ptolemy was a astronomer and a geographer and a mathematician! He proposed the geocentric model. He believed that a celestial body could go at a constant speed in a perfect circle. It was called the "wheels-on-wheels" system. It had better observations than the model that had came before his. His geocentric model was used for the next 14 centuries! </span>
Kepler(1571-1630)
<span>German astronomer and mathematician, Johannes Kepler, studied very hard and closely, and he found out that the planets did not fit the observations that were made by previous explorers. He found one that fit the best out of them all! He found three principles, called Kepler's Laws. </span>

A cyclist going downhill is accelerating at 1. 2 m/s2. If the final velocity of the cyclist is 16 m/s after 10 seconds, what is
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf v_i= 4 \ m/s}}

Explanation:

We are asked to find the cyclist's initial velocity. We are given the acceleration, final velocity, and time, so we will use the following kinematic equation.

v_f= v_i + at

The cyclist is acceleration at 1.2 meters per second squared. After 10 seconds, the velocity is 16 meters per second.

  • v_f= 16 m/s
  • a= 1.2 m/s²
  • t= 10 s

Substitute the values into the formula.

16 \ m/s = v_i + (1.2 \ m/s^2)(10 \ s)

Multiply.

16 \ m/s = v_i + (1.2 \ m/s^2 * 10 \ s)

16 \ m/s = v_i + 12 \ m/s

We are solving for the initial velocity, so we must isolate the variable v_i. Subtract 12 meters per second from both sides of the equation.

16 \ m/s - 12 \ m/s = v_i + 12 \ m/s -12 \ m/s

4 \ m/s = v_i

The cyclist's initial velocity is <u>4 meters per second.</u>

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

 N = 23.4 N

Explanation:

After reading that long sentence, let's solve the question

The contact force is the so-called normal in this case we can find it by writing the translational equilibrium equation for the y axis

            N - w₁ -w₂ =

            N = m₁ g + m₂ g

            N = g (m₁ + m₂)

let's calculate

            N = 9.8 (0.760 + 1.630)

            N = 23.4 N

This is the force of the support of the two blocks on the surface.

An aquarium open at the top has 30-cm-deep water in it. You shine a laser pointer into the top opening so it is incident on the
Setler [38]

Answer:

You must add 8cm of water to the tank

Explanation:

In order to find how much the height is we will use the Snell Refraction law

.

This law relates the index of refraction of the water (n2), the index of refraction of the air (n1), the incidence angle relative to the vertical (theta1) and the refraction angle relative to the vertical (theta2) by using the next equation:

(n1)*(sin(theta1))=(n2)*(sin(theta2))

Then we will find the refraction angle relative to the vertical this way:

(n1/n2)*(sin(theta1))=sin(theta2)

(1/1.33)*(sin(45))=sin(theta2)

Then, theta2=32.12°

Now that we have this information we can imagine a triangle with a 30cm height and a 32.12° angle. This way we can find how much X is, this X will be the distance between the vertical line and the spot the beam hits the bottom, so we can use some trigonometry to find it, this way:

tan(32.12)=(X/30cm)

X=(tan(32.12))*(30cm)

Then, X=18.8cm, we can approximate it to 19cm

Once we have X we will add 5cm to it which is how much the beam needs to be moved, then the new X will be 24cm

Now, with the new horizontal distance we will find the new vertical distance, let´s call it Y, this way we will know how much water we must add to move the beam, then we will have a triangle with a vertical distance called Y, the same 32.12° angle will be used as we are still working with the air-water interface and a 19cm horizontal distance, then:

tan(32.12)=(24cm/Y)

Y=(24cm/tan(32.12))

Then, Y=38cm

In this case, you must add 8cm of water to the tank to move the beam on the bottom 5cm
