According to Ptolemy's model, he, too, believed in a geocentric Universe and that the planets and stars were perfect spheres, though Earth itself was not.
He further thought that the movements of the planets and stars must be circular since they were perfect and, if the motions were circular, then they could go on forever.
<h3>What is comets and shooting stars?</h3>
Shooting stars are very different from comets, although the two can be related. A Comet is a ball of ice and dirt, orbiting the Sun (usually millions of miles from Earth). ... A shooting star on the other hand, is a grain of dust or rock (see where this is going) that burns up as it enters the Earth's atmosphere.

Becuase Gravity. The Earthp pulls you down, you do not pull the earth.
Answer:
The deceleration is 
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The height above firefighter safety net is 
The length by which the net is stretched is 
From the law of energy conservation

Where
is the kinetic energy of the person before jumping which equal to zero(because to kinetic energy at maximum height )
and
is the potential energy of the before jumping which is mathematically represented at

and
is the kinetic energy of the person just before landing on the safety net which is mathematically represented at

and
is the potential energy of the person as he lands on the safety net which has a value of zero (because it is converted to kinetic energy )
So the above equation becomes

=> 
substituting values

Applying the equation o motion

Now the final velocity is zero because the person comes to rest
So
