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.

when two object P and Q are supplied with the same quantity of heat, the temperature change in P is observed to be twice that of
Ahat [919]

<h2>When two object P and Q are supplied with the same quantity of heat, the temperature change in P is observed to be twice that of Q. The mass of P is half that of Q. The ratio of the specific heat capacity of P to Q​</h2>

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity

It is defined as amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree celsius .

It is given as :

Heat absorbed = mass of substance x specific heat capacity x rise in temperature

or ,

Q= m x c x t

In above question , it is given :

For Q

mass of Q = m

Temperature changed =T₂/2

Heat supplied = x

Q= mc t

or

X=m x C₁ X T₁

or, X =m x C₁ x T₂/2

or, C₁=X x 2 /m x T₂                                 (equation 1 )

For another quantity : P

mass of P =m/2

Temperature= T₂

Heat supplied is same that is : X

so, X= m/2 x C₂ x T₂                            

or, C₂=2X/m. T₂                                   (equation 2 )

Now taking ratio of C₂ to c₁, We have

C₂/C₁= 2X /m.T₂  /2X  /m.T₂

so, C₂/C₁= 1/1

so, the ratio is 1: 1

Which layer of the atmosphere is the top layer of the thermosphere?
joja [24]
The thermosphere is a layer of Earth's atmosphere. The thermosphere is directly above the mesosphere and below the exosphere. It extends from about 90 km (56 miles) to between 500 and 1,000 km (311 to 621 miles) above our planet.

A box is held at rest by two ropes that form 30° angles with the vertical. The tension T in either rope is 42 N. What is the wei
iragen [17]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

= 73 N

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

Using the formula

2 T cos(30°) = w

Where; T is the tension on each string, while w is the weight of the box given by mg

Therefore;

W = 2Tcos 30°

    = 2 × 42 cos 30°

    = 84 cos 30°

    = 72.74

<u>   ≈ 73 N</u>

Is it possible for an object to be going 100 miles per hour but have a velocity of zero?
Lesechka [4]
It is possible for on object to be going at 100 miles per hour, but still have a velocity. This is because the object going at 100 miles per hour has speed, which is a scalar quantity, which is defined by only magnitude, but the velocity of the object can be 0, since velocity is a vector quantity which is defined by both magnitude and direction.

Since this object only has magnitude and no direction (which is not given), then the velocity can be 0
