Answer:

A. Geocentric: This model is Earth Centered . Retrograde motion is explained by epicycles .

B. Heliocentric: This model is Sun centered.  Retrograde motion is explained by the orbital speeds of planets

C. Both geocentric and heliocentric: Epicycles and deferents help explain planetary motion . Planets move in circular orbits and with uniform motion . The brightness of a planet increases when the planet is closest to Earth.

Explanation:

The principle of the Ptolemy's geocentric model was developed on the assumption that the center of the universe is the Earth. On the other hand, the principle of the Copernicus' heliocentric model was based on the assumption that the center of the universe is the sun. However, both models have a common ideology on uniform circular motion and epicycles.

On a highway, a car is driven 80. kilometers
nydimaria [60]

The average speed of the car for the entire trip can be calculate by using:

v=\frac{S}{t}

where S is the total distance covered by the car, and t is the total time taken.


The total distance travelled by the car is:

S=80 km+50 km+40 km=170 km

while the total time taken is:

t=1.00 h+0.50 h+0.50 h=2.00 h


so, the average speed of the car is:

v=\frac{S}{t}=\frac{170 km}{2.00 h}=85 km/h


so, the correct answer is (3) 85 km/h.

What is the first law of conservation of energy? How is the law applicable to the earths energy balance
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

First law of thermodynamic state that energy is always conserved, in other word, energy cannot be created or destroyed.

This means that energy can only transfer from one source to another.

For example, the electricity we used to power our phone didn't come from nowhere.

We charge our phone using the energy from the electricity from the outlet.

The outlet gets its energy from the power plant, who generated that energy from burning coal.

The coal they burned got their energy while they were alive as plants.

The plants got their energy from the sun.

The sun got its energy from other cosmic stuff and so on...

My point is that the energy we use will always cycle around. It doesn't come from thin air and it doesn't disappear into thin air either. This help keeps things balance because if energy is created out of thin air then the earth might just blow up. If energy gets erased into thin air then there'll be nothing to fuel life.

A girl with a mass of 40 kg is swinging from a rope with a length of 2.5 m. What is the frequency of her swinging?
Dmitrij [34]

For a pendulum with a massless rope 'L' meters long, swinging through
a small arc, the period of the swing is

                     2 π √(L/g)  seconds .

and it doesn't depend on the mass of the thing on the end of the rope ...
that could be a pebble or a bus.

For the girl on the 2.5-m rope,

                   Period = (2 π) √(2.5 / 9.8) =  3.17 seconds

Frequency = 1 / period = about <em> 0.315 Hz .</em>

A car traveling 21 m/s is accelerated uniformly at the rate of 2.2 m/s ^2 for 6.9 s. What is the car’s final speed?
Svetach [21]

Answer:

36m/s

Explanation:

v=u+at

v=21+(2.2×6.9)

v=21+15.18

v=36.18

v=36m/s
