In the Ptolemaic model of the universe, the sun was the center of the solar system

There are two models that is most commonly used as the model of the universe. One is Geocentric model (which describes that earth is the center of all of the existing orbits) while the other one is Ptolemaic which describes sun is the center of all existing orbits.

Explanation:

Ptolemy was an Alexandrian Astronomer and mathematician. In 150AD, he presented his model of the universe. It was a modified version of the then accepted Geocentric model of the Universe. Some of the highlights of the model were:

1. Earth is at the center of the universe and stationary.

2. Every celestial object is revolving around the Earth.

3. In order to explain the motion of the Sun, he introduced eccentric motion of the Sun. As per this model the point around which the Sun revolved was displaced from the Earth. Thus the Sun will move faster when at perigee and slower when at  apogee.

4. To explain the motion of planet, he introduced the concept of epicycles. According to him the planets revolved around a point in a circular motion and that point revolved around Earth. This also accounted for the retrograde motion of the planets.

To properly operate the laboratory thermometer Group of answer choices it needs to be shaken but make sure you have enough room
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

it needs to be shaken but make sure you have enough room to shake it safely

Explanation:

To properly operate the laboratory thermometer  it needs to be shaken but make sure you have enough room to shake it safely. This done because there is a small bend in the mercury channel of a clinical thermometer that uses mercury. You must shake the thermometer to get the mercury from a previous reading from the thermometer back into the bulb for taking new reading. The bend prevents flow back into the tube so that one can comfortably take reading.

A man throws a ball straight up to his friend on a balcony who catches it at its highest point. The ball was thrown with an init
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

The maximum height reached by the ball is 16.35 m.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the ball, u = 17.9 m/s

the final velocity of the ball at the maximum height, v = 0

The maximum height reached by the ball is given by;

v² = u² + 2gh

During upward motion, gravity is negative

v² = u² + 2(-g)h

v² = u² -  2gh

0 = u² -  2gh

2gh = u²

h = u² / 2g

h = (17.9)² / (2 x 9.8)

h = 16.35 m

Ttherefore, the maximum height reached by the ball is 16.35 m.
