People firstly believe that the planets move in a circular orbit until Newton came up with his hypothesis by inventing calculus so that we could understood and calculated planetary orbits and their accuracy.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Everyone assumed the planets were perfect circles until Newton came up with an idea. Slowly people would make maps of the orbits that added circles on circles, and they could never really explain about the movement of the planet. They simply say that planets move on circles but they lacked the math to explain or prove it. Then Newton came up with an idea of inventing calculus so that we could understood and calculated planetary orbits and their accuracy.
  • Firstly people used their observations and say that the orbits looked like circles, then they developed their models and did the math, and proposed their hypothesizes which were wrong, until Newton came along and tried to match a model that used elliptical orbits and invented the math that allowed him to make predictions with it. His model worked for most planets.
  • However he could not explain about the planet Mercury for instance since it was a very strange orbit. Then after the Einstein's theory of General Relativity he could also explain very deeply about it.
  • Scientists and Astronomers made hypothesizes that there was another planet orbiting too close to the sun to see with telescopes, called Vulcan, that explained mercury's orbit before Einstein's theory. Then long after we had telescopes which was good enough to see if there was a planet orbiting closer to the sun than mercury.

1.What are two factors that are necessary for hurricane development?
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

1. tropical storms and hurricanes

2.After a cold front moves through your area, you may notice that the temperature is cooler, the rain has stopped, and the cumulus clouds are replaced by stratus and stratocumulus clouds or clear skies.

3.Warm fronts often bring stormy weather as the warm air mass at the surface rises above the cool air mass, making clouds and storms. Warm fronts move more slowly than cold fronts because it is more difficult for the warm air to push the cold, dense air across the Earth's surface.

The vapor pressure of liquid chloroform, CHCl3, is 100. mm Hg at 283 K. A 0.380 g sample of liquid CHCl3 is placed in a closed,
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

a

No

b

100 mm Hg

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The vapor pressure of CHCl3, is P = 100 \  mmHg =  \frac{100}{760}=  0.13156 \ atm

The temperature of CHCl3 is T  =  283 \  K

The volume of the container is V_c =  380mL =  380 *10^{-3}\  L

The temperature of the container is T_c  =  283 \  K

The mass of CHCl3 is m = 0.380 g

Generally the number of moles of CHCl3 present before evaporation started is mathematically represented as

n  =  \frac{m }{M }

Here M is the molar mass of CHCl3 with the value M  =  119.38 \ g/mol

=> n  =  \frac{ 0.380 }{119.38 }

=> n  =  0.00318 \  mols

Generally the number of moles of CHCl3 gas that evaporated is mathematically represented as

n_g  =  \frac{PV}{RT}

Here R is the gas constant with value R =  0.08206 L \  atm /mol\cdot  K

So

          n_g  =  \frac{0.13156* 380 *10^{-3} }{0.08206 * 283}

          n_g  =  0.00215 \  mols

Given that the number of moles of  CHCl3 evaporated is less than the number of moles of CHCl3  initially present , then it mean s that not all the liquid evaporated

At equilibrium the temperature of CHCl3 will be equal to the pressure of  air so the pressure at equilibrium is  100 mmHg
