Why were epicycles necessary in ptolemy’s model of the universe?

Physics

Because Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn each appear to slow down, stop, move backwards for a while, then again slow down, stop, and start moving forward again. Each plant does this at some time during each year.

If they were simply moving in circles around the Earth, they couldn't do any of this. They would need to be moving on small circles attached to the big circles. The small ones are the 'epicycles'.

epicycles were orbits within orbits used to explain discrepancies between expected and observed planetary movement, including the appearance of planets slowing down, speeding up, and moving backward.

Rest and motion are relative terms why?​
krok68 [10]

Answer:

Rest and motion are the relative terms because they depend on the observer's frame of reference. So if two different observers are not at rest with respect to each other, then they too get different results when they observe the motion or rest of a body.

How much support force does a table exert on a book that weighs 15 N when the book is placed on the table?
mestny [16]

Answer:

15 N

Explanation:

According to Newton's third law of motion, to every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This reaction is equal in magnitude to the force acting but in an opposite direction.

Now, if the book weighs 15 N, an opposite equal force will be: N = -15 N

But the magnitude of this will be the absolute value which is 15N.

Two loudspeakers emit 600 Hz Hz notes. One speaker sits on the ground. The other speaker is in the back of a pickup truck. You h
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

The truck's speed is 4.04 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Emit frequency = 600 Hz

Beat = 7.00 beat/sec

We need to calculate the truck's speed

Using formula of speed

\text{frequency observed}=\text{frequency emitted}\times\dfrac{v}{v+v_{source}}

Where, v = speed of sound

Put the value into the formula

(600-7)=600\times(\dfrac{343}{343-v_{truck}})

v_{truck}=\dfrac{600\times343-593\times343}{593}

v_{truck}=4.04\ m/s

Hence, The truck's speed is 4.04 m/s.

A box slides down a 31° ramp with an acceleration of 0.99 m/s2. Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box an
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:\mu=0.48

Explanation:

Given

inclination \theta =31^{\circ}

Acceleration of object=0.99 m/s^2

Now using FBD

mg\sin \theta -f_r=ma

mg\sin \theta -\mu mg\cos \theta =ma

a=g\sin \theta -\mu g\cos \theta

0.99=5.04-\mu 8.4

\mu 8.4=4.057

\mu =0.48

An object has a kinetic energy of 175 J and a momentum of magnitude 25.0 kg m/s. Find the
DedPeter [7]

Answer:14 m/s

Explanation:

Kinetic energy(ke)=175J

Momentum(M)=25kgm/s

Speed=v

Mass=m

Ke=(m x v x v)/2

175=(mv^2)/2

Cross multiply

175 x 2=mv^2

350=mv^2

Momentum=mass x velocity

25=mv

m=25/v

Substitute m=25/v in 350=mv^2

350=25/v x v^2

350=25v^2/v

v^2/v=v

350=25v

v=350/25

v=14 m/s
