In the seventeenth century, astronomer Johannes Kepler observed the planets revolving around our sun and analyzed data about the

m. He found that as the distance from the Sun increases, the amount of time it takes for the planet to go all the way around the Sun increases. Even though Kepler did not know why his observation was true, it has been found that planets in all solar systems always revolve around suns the same way.
Which best describes why Kepler’s observation of planetary motion is a law instead of a theory?

It does not discuss independent and dependent variables that can be observed or tested.
It does not provide an explanation for why the relationship exists between distance and orbit time.
A lot of new technology has been developed that can record more accurate data about planetary motion.
A lot of different understandings of why planets move have been developed, and Kepler’s provides the best explanation.

Answer:

"A lot of different understanding of why planets move have been developed, and Kepler's provides the best explanation."

Explanation:

All of the other three choices actually contradict the initial question which is asking why Kepler’s observation of planetary motion is a law instead of a theory. A law is a well established theory which means that it is an emergent truth that is known to be true. Kepler's laws have been verified and proven numerous times:) For a deductive proof of Kepler's laws look to Sir Isaac Newton.

This graph indicates that the kinetic energy of an object is increasing. What is the most reasonable explanation for this observ
soldi70 [24.7K]

B) The object's velocity doubled.

Explanation:

The graph is missing: find it in attachment.

The kinetic energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its motion. It is calculated as

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m is the mass of the object

v is the velocity of the object

We notice that:

  • The  kinetic energy is directly proportional to the mass
  • The kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the velocity

In the graph, one of the two quantities (either mass or speed) is represented on the x-axis, while the quantity on the y-axis is the kinetic energy.

First of all, we notice that the relationship is not linear: this means that the quantity on the x-axis cannot be the mass, so it must be the velocity.

Moreover, we notice that when the quantity on the x-axis increases from 1 to 2 (so, it doubles), the kinetic energy increases by a factor of 4. This means that the object's velocity has doubled, therefore

B) The object's velocity doubled.

A 55 kg track and field athlete has an average power output of 5.4 kW during the 200 meter dash. How quickly did she finish the
olga_2 [115]

The time taken for the athlete to finish the race is 20 s (Option A)

<h3>What is power? </h3>

Power is simply defined as the rate at which work is done. It can be expressed mathematically as

Power (P) = work (W) / time (t)

But

Work = weight × distance

Therefore,

Power = (weight × distance ) / time

<h3>How to determine the time </h3>
  • Mass (m) = 55 Kg
  • Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
  • Weight = mg = 55 × 9.8 = 539 N
  • Power (P) = 5.4 KW = 5.4 × 1000 = 5400 W
  • Distance (d) = 200 m
  • Time (t) =?

Power = (weight × distance ) / time

5400 = (539 × 200) / t

5400 = 107800 / t

Cross multiply

5400 × t = 107800

Divide both side by 5400

t = 107800 / 5400

t = 20 s

Suppose a thick nimbostratus cloud contains ice crystals and cloud droplets all about the same size. Which precipitation process
Ronch [10]

Answer:The most important process would be the ice crystal process

Explanation:

Ice crystal process also called Bergeron process requires numerous small water drops that are supercooled, which is a common feature in clouds between about 0° and -20°C or below, along with a small number of ice crystals. Therefore because the collision-coalescence process requires that cloud droplets be of varying size so that drops will fill at different speeds, the most important process would be the ice crystal process.

Answer:

60.2 J

Explanation:

Efficiency is the ratio of work out to work in.

e = Wout / Win

0.86 = Wout / 70 J

Wout = 60.2 J
