Galileo Galilei is one of the key figures in the history of Science, being the first to apply the experimental-mathematical scientific method. He carried out experiments and careful observations in kinematics (his studies on the trajectory of projectiles are famous) and dynamics (it should be noted his careful experiments with inclined planes), establishing the first law of Dynamics (which Newton will later collect and refine in his Principles); and in Astronomy, with which he could unequivocally support the heliocentric theory.
His experiments were addressed by methodologies that allowed him to precisely find his mathematical calculations and to verify theories he was developing over time. His manuscripts were key to disseminate the applied method and extrapolate them to other scientific areas.
Therefore the correct answer is C.
Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
Eclipses: Eclipses are also known as game of shadows where one object comes between the star(light source) and another object in a straight line such that the shadow of one object falls on other object. This can occur when the apparent size of the star and the object is almost same.
Talking about the Earth, the geometry is such that the Moon and the Sun are of same apparent size as seen from the Earth. Thus Lunar and Solar eclipse can be seen from the Earth. If we were to go on any other planet the same phenomenon can be seen provided the apparent size of moon and the Sun from that planet is same.
We have seen and recorded many such eclipses on Jupiter. These are from the perspective of Earth. When the moons of Jupiter comes exactly between the Sun and Jupiter the shadow of moon will fall on Jupiter. The places where the shadow falls, one will see a solar eclipse.
To solve this problem, we must remember about the law of
conservation of momentum. The initial momentum mist be equal to the final
momentum, that is:
m1 v1 + m2 v2 = (m1 + m2) v’
where v’ is the speed of impact
Since we are not given the masses of each car m1 and m2,
so let us assume that they are equal, such that:
m1 = m2 = m
Which makes the equation:
m v1 + m v2 = (2 m) v’
Cancelling m and substituting the v values:
50 + 48 = 2 v’
2 v’ = 98
v ‘ = 49 km/h
