Why was Democritus considered a philosopher and not a scientist?

Physics
1 answer:
Alika [10]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Democritus had no scientific instruments to extend the reach of his senses, so all of his experiments were just 'mind experiments', but because Democritus was a philosopher, he thought more into depth about why we humans are alive which led to the atomic theory.

Diego is playing basketball. While running at 7 km/h toward Gino, he passes the ball to Gino horizontally. The ball travels at 2
enot [183]

TheThe  relative velocity of Deigo will be 27km/h .

<h3>What is relative Velocity? </h3>

The relative velocity is the velocity of an object with respect to another observer. It is the time rate of relative position of one object with respect to another object .

Vab = Va-Vb

Where a is object and b is observer .

We have given here the velocity of ball 20km/ h

and the another velocity is 7km/ h

Let us assume that Diego is also moving in the direction where ball is moving so the relative velocity  will  be

 V = 20+7=27km/ h

When both observer and object is moving in same direction than there sum of velocity will be relative velocity ,if they are moving opposite than subtraction.

Which group of animals would be served best by the following adaptations?
aev [14]
The answer to this question would be: <span>A) animals that live in deserts 

</span>Desert temperature is high, especially in the day, <span>An animal that lives in the desert needs to adapt to the high temperature either by reducing the heat or by increasing heat loss. By becoming nocturnal, the animal also able to evade the sunlight so it was less exposed to the heat. 
Unlike other option, the desert is lacking water. Desert is mostly dry and water would be a resource that hard to find. In this case, k</span><span>idneys adapted to check water loss would be a great help</span>

Humans obtain energy in a number of different ways. About half of the electrical energy in the U.S. is generated by burning coal
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

C. Burning coal tends to harm the environment more than using solar panels.

Explanation:

When coal is burned, it reacts with the oxygen in the air. This reaction converts the stored potential energy, which turns into thermal energy, which is released as heat. But it also produces methane and carbon dioxide which is released into the air.

Describe the movement of air over 2 nearby land areas, one of which is heated more than the other.
77julia77 [94]
In this case, the air from the warm area will always start moving towards the colder areas because as the temperature in both lands should be equal. This is one of the laws of thermodynamics.
