Galileo first studied the Milky Way through his telescope in January, 1610 not 1909. Until his observations, the Milky Way was thought to be a band of wispy whitish clouds passing through the heavens. To Galileo's amazement, instead of seeing just a nebula (the Greek work for cloud) the milky wisps resolved into innumerable tiny stars, so crowded together that, without the aid of a telescope, the light from those stars simply blended together.

Explanation:

False. Galileo died in 1642. In 1609, 300 years before your question's year, he was making a telescope. There were no binoculars in his time. He would have been gazing at the Milky Way then.

Galileo first studied the Milky Way through his telescope in January 1610. Until his comments, the Milky Way was conceived to be a band of wispy whitish clouds crawling within the heavens.

A 3.00 × 10^-6 kg ant rides the second hand of an enormous vertical wall clock. The ant smoothly sweeps a circle of radius 50.0

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

1.65×10⁻⁶ N

Explanation:

m = Mass of ant = $3\times 10^{-6}\ kg$

r = Radius = 50 m

t = Time taken to complete on rotation = 60 seconds

Angular velocity

$\omega=\frac{2\pi}{t}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\frac{2\pi}{60}$

Centripetal acceleration is force that is acting outward

$F_c=m\omega^2r\\\Rightarrow F_c=3\times 10^{-6}\times \left(\frac{2\pi}{60}\right)^2\times 50\\\Rightarrow F_c=1.65\times 10^{-6}\ N$

The magnitude of the upward force felt by the ant due to the second hand would be 1.65×10⁻⁶ N

Answer;

- This statement about matter and its behavior is best classified as a Law.

-It is the Law of Universal Gravitation.

Explanation;

-The Law of Universal Gravitation states that every point mass attracts every other point mass in the universe by a force pointing in a straight line between the centers-of-mass of both points, and this force is proportional to the masses of the objects and inversely proportional to their separation.This attractive force always points inward, from one point to the other.

-The Law applies to all objects with masses, big or small. Two big objects can be considered as point-like masses, if the distance between them is very large compared to their sizes or if they are spherically symmetric.

A straight trail with a uniform inclination of 15 degrees leads from a lodge at an elevation of 600 feet to a mountain lake at a

9966 [12]

Answer:

The length of the trail = 22796 ft

Explanation:

From the ΔABC

AC = length of the trail = x

AB = 6100 - 600 = 5500 ft

Angle of inclination $\theta$ = 15°

$\sin \theta = \frac{AB}{AC}$

$\sin 15 = \frac{5900}{x}$

$x = \frac{5900}{0.2588}$

x = 22796 ft

Since x = AC = Length of the trail.

Therefore the length of the trail = 22796 ft

PLEASE ANSWER ASAP I REALLY NEED HELP!!!!!!

Andrews [41]

Answer:

In thermodynamics, heat is transferred energy that moves between substances or systems because of their temperature difference. According to the first law of thermodynamic and the law of energy conversion s a form of energy, heat is cannot be created or destroyed only moves from one form to other.

The stone gets heat energy from fire and moves this heat energy or thermal energy to water as it cools off and the water warms up. Heat moves or is transferred spontaneously from the hot stone into the cold water. Eventually, the stone and water have the same temperature and water becomes heated. At the time of heat flowing out of the stone into the water, the heat energy became less ordered, due to spreading out through both the stone and the water. This is a net increase in entropy which is the second law of entropy.
