Who was executed for believing that Earth revolves around the sun?

1 answer:

4 0

According to research, none of these men were executed for believing that Earth revolves around the sun. Nicolaus Copernicus was the first to believe in the heliocentric view of the current solar system, but he was not killed for that view, but he died of natural means. Galileo Galilei was punished because of the heliocentric view but was only put under house arrest, and not killed. Giordano Bruno was indeed burned at stake, but it was not for his view on heliocentrism.

A 90 kg man stands in a very strong wind moving at 17 m/s at torso height. As you know, he will need to lean in to the wind, and

victus00 [196]

Answer:

a) $t=195.948N.m$

b) $\phi=13.6 \textdegree$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Density $\rho=1.225kg/m^2$

Velocity of wind $v=14m/s$

Dimension of rectangle:50 cm wide and 90 cm

Drag coefficient $\mu=2.05$

Generally the equation for Force is mathematically given by

$F=\frac{1}{2}\muA\rhov^2$

$F=\frac{1}{2}2.05(50*90*\frac{1}{10000})*1.225*17^2$

$F=163.29$

Therefore Torque

$t=F*r*sin\theta$

$t=163.29*1.2*sin90$

$t=195.948N.m$

Generally the equation for torque due to weight is mathematically given by

$t=d*Mg*sin90$

Where

$d=sin \phi$

Therefore

$t=sin \phi*Mg*sin90$

$195.948=833sin \phi$

$\phi=sin^{-1}\frac{195.948}{833}$

$\phi=13.6 \textdegree$

What change will always result in an increase in gravitational force between two objects

tekilochka [14]

The gravitational force between two object depends on their masses and on their distance.

Since the formula is

$F = G\frac{m_1m_2}{d^2}$

If the masses grow, the force also grows. But I'm assuming the two objects are fixed, so you can't enlarge their mass.

So, the only option remaining is to lower their distance: since it sits at the denominator, a smaller value of d results in a bigger value for F.

So, if you reduce the distance between two objects, the gravitational force between them will always result in an increase

What are the characteristics of an ideal transformer

Vsevolod [243]

It is an imaginary transformer which has no core loss, no ohmic resistance and no leakage flux. The ideal transformer has the following important characteristic. The resistance of their primary and secondary winding becomes zero. The core of the ideal transformer has infinite permeability.

The gage pressure in a liquid at a depth of 3 m is read to be 39 kPa. Determine the gage pressure in the same liquid at a depth

ioda

Answer: 117 kPa

Explanation:

For the liquid at depth 3 m, the gauge pressure is equal to = P₁=39 kPa

For the liquid at depth 9m, the gauge pressure is equal to= P₂

Now we are given the condition that the liquid is same. That must imply that the density must be same throughout the depth.

So, For finding gauge pressure we have formula P= ρ * g * h

Also gravity also remains same for both liquids

So taking ratio of their respective pressures we have
