The widely accepted hypothesis before that turned out wrong was the Earth-Centered theory or the Geocentric Theory. This was proposed by the philosopher Ptolemy. He came about to this hypothesis from hi observation that from the Earth's perspective, the celestial bodies like the Sun, stars and the moon, look like they rotate around the Earth each day and night. However, this was disproved by Galileo Galelei by his Heliocentric Theory. He observed through the telescope that the Venus also changes phases like the moon. However, he deduced that this is not possible from the positions of the Venus, Earth, Moon and Sun.
Uhhhh...you should have paid attention in class, just saying...
See projectiles are very simple unless you understand its core concepts....projectile is nothing just mixture of upward motion and horizontal motion....
THE KEY IS FORGET THE NAME PROJECTILE...ITS JUST HORIZONTAL MOTION + VERTICAL MOTION
Answer:
My answer is 7.2 km
Explanation:
When Stephen goes to the south and then to the east, he is drawing a right triangle, where the 4 km and 6 km sides are the cathetus of a right triangle.
Then we use the Pithagorean theorem to solve this problem. We need to find the hypotenuse.
c² = a² + b²
c² = 4² + 6²
c² = 16 + 36
c² = 52
c = 7.2 km
