Explanation:
1. Phases of Venus: Galileo was the first astronomer to use a telescope to observe the celestial objects. Through a telescope he observed that Venus shows the phases just like the Moon. This proved the Heliocentric theory correct against the then prevalent Geocentric theory.
2. Law of Falling bodies: The acceleration due to gravity is independent of weight of the objects that means two bodies of different mass will hit the ground at the same time if dropped from the same height.
3. The uneven surface of the Moon: He observed that the surface of the Moon is uneven and rough.
4. Discovery of the 4 Moons of Jupiter
Answer:
see below
Explanation:
a. 0.1886 x 12
=2.2632
This has 2 sig figures so the answer can only have 2 sig figures
2.3
b. 2.995 - 0.16685
=2.82815
The most accurate in the problem is to thousands place so our answer can only be accurate to the thousands place
2.828
c. 910 x 0.18945=172.3995
The least number of significant figures is 3 so the answer can only have 3 significant figures
172
50km / 2.5 = 20 km per hour
Answer:
6.86 meters
Explanation:
Let the compression of the string be represented by x, and the height of projection of the toy rocket be represented by h.
So that;
x = 9 cm = 0.09 m
In its rest position (i.e before the launch), the spring has a stored potential energy which is given as;
PE = 
K
= x 830 x 
= 415 x 0.0081
= 3.3615
The potential energy in the string = 3.36 Joules
Also,
PE = mgh
where: m is the mass, g is the gravitational force and h the height.
m = 50 g = 0.05 kg, g = 9.8 m
Thus,
PE = 0.05 x 9.8 x h
3.3615 = 0.05 x 9.8 x h
3.3615 = 0.49h
⇒ h = 
= 6.8602
The height of the toy rocket would be 6.86 meters.
