Why did Copernicus have to keep small epicycles in his models? Actually, Copernicus did not use epicycles. Unlike the Ptolemaic

system, all the planets were treated the same. His model did not predict planetary positions as well as the Ptolemaic system. It was the only way to explain retrograde motion. Which planet has the longest duration of retrograde motion as viewed from Earth? Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune Which planet has the shortest duration of retrograde motion as viewed from Earth? Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune

Answer:

Neptune has the longest duration of retrograde motion as viewed from Earth.

Mars has the shortest duration of retrograde motion as viewed from Earth.

Explanation:

The planets move along the space from west to east, although this movement is interrupted for brief intervals by a retrograde movement from east to west.

Retrogradation occupies a small part of the planet's motion that normally develops directly. The durations of retrogradation for the planets are: Mercury 23 days, Venus 42 days, Mars 73 days, Jupiter 123 days, Saturn 138 days, Uranus 151 days and Neptune 158 days.

In 2-3 complete sentences, explain the relationship between speed, frequency, and wavelength.
Ahat [919]
The relationship of the speed of sound, its frequency, and wavelength is the same as for all waves: vw = fλ, where vw is the speed of sound, f is its frequency, and λ is its wavelength. ... The frequency is the same as that of the source and is the number of waves that pass a point per unit time.

Who discovered the strong nuclear force
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

James Chadwick

Explanation:

James Chadwick discovered that the nucleus of each atom contains neutrons in 1932. Shortly after this, Eugene Wigner suggested that the electromagnetic force is not involved in holding the nucleus together and that there are two different nuclear forces. We now refer to these as the strong and weak nuclear forces.

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

The potential energy has a  maximum when the ball is a time that is half of the time for total travel

Explanation:

Generally potential energy is a the varies directly with the height according to this formula

            PE =mgh

and the ball attains a maximum height when the time is equal to half of the total time taken to travel

If vx = 0.40 meters/second and vy = 3.00 meters/second, what is the value of θ?
cestrela7 [59]
<span>θ  is the angle whose tangent is  3/0.4 = arctan (7.5) = 82.4°

(That's the angle above the horizontal.  If that doesn't match
the  </span><span>θ  in your diagram, too bad !  For some strange reason,
I wasn't able to see your diagram.)
