Explain why astronomers long ago believed that space must be filled with some kind of substance (the “aether”) instead of the va

Answer:Explained

Explanation:

The scientist of that time could not believe that the electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to travel through so they made a space filling substance necessary to travel of electromagnetic waves called aether.

But after the special 0 theory of relativity this idea is discarded and fell out.

A roller coaster has a "hump" and a "loop" for riders to enjoy (see picture). The top of the hump has a radius of curvature of 1
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Part a)

F_n = 306 N

Part b)

v = 12.1 m/s

So this speed is independent of the mass of the rider

Explanation:

Part a)

By force equation on the rider at the position of the hump we can say

mg - F_n = ma_c

now we will have

mg - F_n = \frac{mv^2}{R}

F_n = mg - \frac{mv^2}{R}

now we have

F_n = 100(9.81) - \frac{100(9^2)}{12}

F_n = 981 - 675

F_n = 306 N

Part b)

At the top of the loop if the minimum speed is required so that it remains in contact so we will have

F_n + mg = ma_c

F_n = 0 at minimum speed

mg = \frac{mv^2}{R}

v = \sqrt{Rg}

v = \sqrt{15 \times 9.81}

v = 12.1 m/s

So this speed is independent of the mass of the rider

If earth's mass were half its actual value but its radius stayed the same, the escape velocity of earth would be:________
siniylev [52]

If the earth's mass were half its actual value but its radius stayed the same, the escape velocity of the earth would be V_e = \sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{r}}.

<h3>What is an escape velocity?</h3>

The ratio of the object's travel distance over a specific period of time is known as its velocity. As a vector quantity, the velocity requires both the magnitude and the direction. the slowest possible speed at which a body can break out of the gravitational pull of a certain planet or another object.

The formula to calculate the escape velocity of earth is given below:-

V_e=\sqrt{\dfrac{2GM}{r}}

Given that earth's mass was half its actual value but its radius stayed the same. The escape velocity will be calculated as below:-

V_e=\sqrt{\dfrac{2GM}{r\times 2}}

V_e = \sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{r}}.

Therefore, If the earth's mass were half its actual value but its radius stayed the same, the escape velocity of the earth would be V_e = \sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{r}}.

To know more about escape velocity follow
