Which of the following statements correctly describes the models put forth by Ptolemy and Copernicus to explain the universe? A.

Through observations, both astronomers presented models where the earth remained stationary. B. Both of the models were easy to understand and thus were well received by the public almost instantly. C. The sun was in the center of Ptolemy's model, but the Earth was in the center of Copernicus' model. D. The model developed by Copernicus was simpler and had less inconsistencies than Ptolemy’s model.

The correct option is D. 
The model developed by Ptolemy has a lot of inconsistency and during the middle age additional explanation was offered for the claims made by the model. The model was very complicated because it was based on erroneous assumptions.
Copernicus model was simpler and some of his claims were correct.<span />

Far out in space, a 100,000-kg rocket and a 200,000-kg rocket are docked at opposite ends of a motionless 90m-long tunnel. The t
postnew [5]

Answer:

a) X_{cm} = 60m

b) I = 5.4*10^8Kg*m^2

c) T= 4.5*10^6 N*m

d) a = 8.3*10^{-3}rad/s^2

e) W= 0.25 rad/s

Explanation:

a) we know that:

X_{cm} = \frac{m_1x_1+m_2x_2}{m1+m2}

where X_cm is the ubicaton of the center of mass, m_1 the mass of the first rocket, x_1 its distances with the rocket 1, m_2 the mass of the second rocket and x_2 its distance with the rocket 1. So, replacing values, we get:

X_{cm} = \frac{(100,000kg)(0)+(200,000kg)(90m)}{100,000kg+200,000kg}

X_{cm} = 60m

So, the center of mass is at 60m from the rocket 1.

b) we know that:

I = M_1R_1^2 +M_2R_2^2

where I is the moment of inertia, M_1 is the mass of the rocket 1, R_1 its distance from the center of mass, M_2 the mass of the second rocket and R_2 the distance between the rocket 2 and the center of mass. So, replacing values, we get:

I = (100,000kg)(60m)^2 +(200,000kg)(30m)^2

I = 5.4*10^8Kg*m^2

c) We know that:

T = Fr

where T is the net torque, F is the force and r is the distance between the rocket and the radius. Then:

FR_1+FR_2 = T

Replacing values, we get:

50,000N(60m)+50,000N(30m) = T

T= 4.5*10^6 N*m

d) We know that:

T = Ia

where T is the net torque, I the moment of inertia and a is the angular aceleration. So, replacing values, we get:

4.5*10^6Nm = 5.4*10^8Kg*m^2a

solving for a:

a = 8.3*10^{-3}rad/s^2

e) Finally, using:

W = at

where W is the angular velocity, a is the angular aceleration and t is the time.

Then, replacing values. we get:

W = (8.3*10^{-3}rad/s^2)(30s)

W = 0.25 rad/s
