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.

Which is correct about an ammeter?

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

b. The internal resistance must be much smaller than the other resistances in the circuit.

Explanation:

Ammeter is used to measure the current flowing through a circuit. It is connected in series configuration with the load. In such a scenario the resistance of the ammeter should be negligible so as to make sure that the voltage drop across the resistance of ammeter is zero and it shows the correct reading of the current in the circuit.

What is one advantage of using electromagnets instead of permanent magnets

zimovet [89]

The main advantage of an electromagnet over a permanent magnet is that the magnetic field can be quickly changed by controlling the amount of electric current in the winding. However, unlike a permanent magnet that needs no power, an electromagnet requires a continuous supply of current to maintain the magnetic field.

A heat engine does 200 j of work per cycle while exhausting 600 j of heat to the cold reservoir. what is the engine's thermal ef

AveGali [126]

The thermal efficiency of an engine is
$\eta= \frac{W}{Q}$
where
W is the work done by the engine
Q is the heat absorbed by the engine to do the work

In this problem, the work done by the engine is W=200 J, while the heat exhausted is Q=600 J, so the efficiency of the machine is
$\eta= \frac{W}{Q}= \frac{200 J}{600 J}=0.33 = 33 \%$
