Answer:

Geocentric means the Earth is at the center. The prefix geo means of the Earth. Thus geometry is the measure of the earth, geology is the study of the earth, etc... Heliocentric means the sun is at the center.

Answer:

Explanation:

In heliocentric model of solar system the sun is taken as the center of revolution of all the planets.

While in geocentric model the earth is taken as the center of universe and all the heavenly bodies are assumed to revolve around it.

The heliocentric theory was posed during the pre-Socractic time but disappeared due to loss of ancient Greeks' work. Later on Copernicus published the theory based upon the work of Kepler, Galileo and Newton providing the mathematical support later on.

<em>Answer: B. 49 N</em>

Explanation:

<u>Friction Force </u>

When an object is at rest on a rough surface, it encounters a friction force that opposes motion.

The friction force when an object is moving on a horizontal surface is calculated by:

$Fr=\mu_k N$

Where $\mu_k$ is the coefficient of static friction and N is the normal force.

If no forces other then the weight and the normal are acting upon the y-direction, then the weight and the normal are equal in magnitude:

N = W = m.g

Thus, the friction force is:

$Fr=\mu_k W$

We are given the coefficient of static friction $\mu_k=0.5$ and the mass of the object m=10 Kg. The minimum force needed to make it start moving is the maximum friction force:

Fr=0.5*10*9.8

Fr = 49 N

A solenoid of 2100 turns, area 10 cm2, and length 30 cm carries a current of 4.0 A. (a) Calculate the magnetic energy stored in

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

E = 0.1472 J

Explanation:

Given that,

The number of turns in the solenoid, N = 2100

Area of the solenoid, A = 10 cm² = 0.001 m²

The length of the solenoid, l = 30 cm = 0.3 m

Current in the solenoid, I = 4 A

We need to find the magnetic energy stored in the solenoid. The expression for the stored energy is :

$E=\dfrac{1}{2}LI^2$

Where

L is self inductance of the solenoid,

$L=\dfrac{\mu_oN^2A}{l}\\\\L=\dfrac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 2100^2\times 0.001}{0.3}\\\\L=0.0184\ H$

So,

$E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.0184\times 4^2\\\\E=0.1472\ J$

So, 0.1472 J of energy is stored in the solenoid.

All Houston Methodist buildings system wide have an emergency power generator that turns on to supply emergency power after norm

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

D. 10 seconds

Explanation:

All Houston Methodist Hospital buildings employs the use of EPSS(Emergency Power Supply System). This system employs the use of an emergency power generator that turns on to supply emergency power after normal power shuts down within 10 seconds during power outage.

Due to it being used in a hospital the importance of this emergency power system cannot be overemphasized as it is used to provide power supply to hospital equipment such as life support machines etc.
