They were able to find the orbit of a comet and predict the year of its return.
Effectus [21]2 years ago

Answer:

Comet's orbit.

Explanation:

Edmond Halley and Alexis Clairaut were one of those Newtonian who helped to validate the results of Isaac Newton.

They correctly explained Comet' motion and how planets gravitational force affect them.

But using Newton's idea of Mathematics and Gravity, they have made two important discoveries:

1. Why celestial bodies have different colors.

2. They were able to find the Comet's orbit and prediction(year) of its return.

A gymnast of mass 63.0 kg hangs from a vertical rope attached to the ceiling. You can ignore the weight of the rope and assume t
Sergio [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

A ) When gymnast is motionless , he is in equilibrium

T = mg

= 63 x 9.81

= 618.03 N

B )

When gymnast climbs up at a constant rate , he is still in equilibrium ie net force acting on it is zero as acceleration is zero.

T = mg

= 618.03 N

C ) If the gymnast climbs up the rope with an upward acceleration of magnitude 0.600 m/s2

Net force on it = T - mg   , acting in upward direction

T - mg = m a

T =  mg + m a

= m ( g + a )

= 63 ( 9.81 + .6)

= 655.83 N

D )  If the gymnast slides down the rope with a downward acceleration of magnitude 0.600 m/s2

Net force acting in downward direction

mg - T = ma

T = m ( g - a )

= 63 x ( 9.81 - .6 )

= 580.23 N

Please help me solve all of them ( a, b, c and d ) thankiew !! <br> I’m also kind of in a rush
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

a-

V= IR

9V = I ×( 12+6)

I = 9/ 18 A = 0.5 A

b

V=IR

240 = 6 A ×( 20 + R)

40 = 20 + R

R = 20 ohm

c

resultant resistance of the 2 parallel resistances= Ro

1/Ro = 1/ 5 + 1/ 20

1/Ro =( 20+5)/100

= 1/Ro = 1/4

Ro= 4 ohm

V=IR

V = 2A × ( 1+ 4 OHM)

V = 10V

d

equivalent resistance = Ro

1/Ro = 1/(2+8) + 1/(5+5)

1/Ro = 1/10 +1/10

2/10 = 1/ Ro

Ro= 10/2 = 5 ohm

V = IR

12V = I × 5Ohm

I=2.4 A

The difference in outcome between the potential energy in a marshmallow burned over a campfire on the end of a stick and in one
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

How fast and efficient the energy is released.

Explanation:

Before burning the marshmallow energy is stored in it in the form of chemical bond energy or chemical potential energy. So upon burning this energy is released. So there will be a difference in energy release from a burned marshmallow and the one we eat straight from package.
