Answer:

Nicolaus Copernicus  (Mathematician)

Explanation:

Copernicus (1473-1543) was not the first person to claim that the Earth rotates around the Sun. In Western civilization, ancient Greek astronomer Aristarchus of Samos is generally credited with being the first person to propose a Sun-centred astronomical hypothesis of the universe (heliocentric).

Three people pull simultaneously on a stubborn donkey. Jack pulls eastward with a force of 80.5 N, Jill pulls with 81.7 N in the
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

F = 233.52 N,  θ' = 351.41º

Explanation:

In this exercise we must find the net force applied on the donkey.

For this we use Newton's second law, where we create a reference frame with the horizontal x axis

let's decompose the forces

Jack

        = 80.5 N

Jill

       cos 45 = F_{2x} / F₂2

       sin 45 = F_{2y} / F₂2

       F_{2x} = F₂ cos 45

       F_{2y} = F₂ sin 45

       F_{2x} = 81.7 cos 45 = 57.77 N

       F_{2y} = 81.7 sin 45 = 57.77 N

Jane

      cos (270 + 45) = F_{3x} / F₃3

      sin 315 = F_{3y} / F₃

      F_{3x} = 131 cos 315 = 92.63 N

      F_{3y} = 131 sin 315 = -92.63 N

the force can be found in each axis

X axis

         F_{x} = F_{1x} + F_{2x} + F_{3x}

         F_{x} = 80.5 +57.77 + 92.63

         F_{x} = 230.9 N

Axis y

         F_{y} = F_{1y} + F_{2y} + F_{3y}

         F_{y} = 0 + 57.77 -92.63

         F_{y} = -34.86 N

we can give the result in two ways

a) F = (230.9 i ^ - 34.86 j ^) N

b) in the form of module and angle

we use the Pythagorean theorem

         F = √(Fₓ² + F_{y}²

        F = √(230.9² + 34.86²)

        F = 233.52 N

let's use trigonometry for the angle

        tan θ = \frac{F_y}{F_x} }

        θ = tan⁻¹ (\frac{F_y}{F_x} })

        θ = tan⁻¹ (-34.86 / 230.9)

        θ = -8.59º

if we measure this angle from the positive side of the x-axis counterclockwise

          θ' = 360 -θ

          θ‘= 360- 8.59

          θ' = 351.41º

The photon energies used in different types of medical x-ray imaging vary widely, depending upon the application. Single dental
pav-90 [236]

A) 5.0\cdot 10^{-11} m

The energy of an x-ray photon used for single dental x-rays is

E=25 keV = 25,000 eV \cdot (1.6\cdot 10^{-19} J/eV)=4\cdot 10^{-15} J

The energy of a photon is related to its wavelength by the equation

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

where

h=6.63\cdot 10^{-34}Js is the Planck constant

c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s is the speed of light

\lambda is the wavelength

Re-arranging the equation for the wavelength, we find

\lambda=\frac{hc}{E}=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{4\cdot 10^{-15}J}=5.0\cdot 10^{-11} m

B) 2.0\cdot 10^{-11} m

The energy of an x-ray photon used in microtomography is 2.5 times greater than the energy of the photon used in part A), so its energy is

E=2.5 \cdot (4\cdot 10^{-15}J)=1\cdot 10^{-14} J

And so, by using the same formula we used in part A), we can calculate the corresponding wavelength:

\lambda=\frac{hc}{E}=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{1\cdot 10^{-14}J}=2.0\cdot 10^{-11} m
