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 rectangular barge, 5.2 m long and 2.4 m wide, floats in fresh water. Suppose that a 410-kg crate of auto parts is loaded onto
sesenic [268]
<h2>Answer:</h2><h2>The depth of barge float=3 cm</h2><h2>Explanation:</h2>

Length of rectangular barge=5.2 m

Width of rectangular barge=2.4m

Mass of crate=410 kg

Let h be the height of barge float

Volume of barge float=l\times b\times h=5.2\times 2.4\times h=12.48h

Density of water=10^3kg/m^3

Weight of water displaced by barge=Buoyant force=-Weight of horse

Volume\;of\;water\times density\;of\;water\times g=410\times g

12.48h\times 1000=410

h=\frac{410}{12.48\times 1000}=0.03 m

1 m=100 cm

0.03 m=0.03\times 100=3cm

Hence, the depth of barge float=3 cm

An object is traveling on a circle with a radius of 6 feet. If in 80 seconds a central angle of 9/4 radians is swept out, then f
trapecia [35]

Answer:

The angular speed of the object is 0.0281 rad/s

The linear speed of the object is 0.169 ft/s

Explanation:

Given;

radius of the circle, r = 6 ft

time of motion of the object around the circle, t = 80 s

central angle formed by the object during the motion, θ = 9/4 rad = 2.25 rad

The angular speed of the object is calculated as;

\omega = \frac{\theta }{t} = \frac{2.25 \ rad}{80 \ s} = 0.0281 \ rad/s

The linear speed of the object is calculated as;

v = ωr

v = 0.0281 rad/s   x    6ft

v = 0.169 ft/s
