That was Johannes Kepler. 

He couldn't say why that should happen.  But he was able to show that
if we <em><u>assume</u></em> the the sun is in the center of the solar system, and <em><u>assume</u></em>
that the planets revolve around the sun in elliptical orbits, and <em><u>assume</u></em> that
the farther a planet is from the sun the longer it takes to orbit the sun, then
<em>that matches everything that we see the planets actually doing in the sky</em>.

Then Isaac Newton came along, and wrote down a short, simple formula
for the force of gravity.  And then he showed that <u>IF</u> his formula for gravity
is correct, then the planets MUST do everything that we see them actually
doing in the sky, and they MUST behave according to Kepler's laws. 

Wotta guy !

An empty elevator has a mass of 722 kg. It moves between floors at a maximum speed of 6.00 m/s. The elevator is stopped on the 2
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The lift is going down with acceleration

Initial speed u = 0

Final speed v = 6 m/s

distance s = 15.25 m

acceleration a = ?

v² = u² + 2 a s

6² = 0 + 2 x a x 15.25

a = 1.18 m /s²

Elevator is going down with acceleration  .

mg - T = ma where T is tension in the cable .

722 x 9.8 - T = 722 x 1.18

7075.6 - T = 851.96

T = 6223.64 N .

For a demonstration, a professor uses a razor blade to cut a thin slit in a piece of aluminum foil. When she shines a laser poin
hoa [83]

Answer:

Slit width is 0.109 mm

Solution:

As per the question:

Wavelength of the light, \lambda = 680\ nm = 680\times 10^{- 9}\ m

Distance from the screen, D = 5.6 m

Bright band in the center, 2x = 8.1 cm

x = 4.05 cm

Now,

To calculate the slit width, w:

From the diffraction:

sin\theta = \frac{\lambda}{w}

For small angle:

sin\theta ≈ tan\theta = \frac{x}{D}

Also

\frac{x}{D} = \frac{\lambda }{w}

Thus

w = \frac{D}{x}\times \lambda

Substituting appropriate values in the above eqn:

w = \frac{6.5}{4.05\times 10^{-2}}\times 680\times 10^{- 9}

w = 0.109 mm

A thermosensory neuron in the skin converts heat energy to nerve impulses via a conversion called
Sav [38]

Answer:

Sensory transduction

Explanation:

The term sensory transduction refers to the conversion process where the sensory energy is converted in order to change the potential of a membrane.

In other words, it can defined as the process of energy conversion such that stimulus can be transmitted or received by the sensory receptors and the nervous system may initiate with the sensory receptors.

Transduction takes in all of the five receptors of the body. Thus skin is also one of the receptors and hence conversion of heat energy into impulses takes place with the help of thermo-sensory neuron.
