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.

Due to the Composition, different asteroids reflect different percentages of the light falling on them.

What are Asteroids:

Asteroids are small, rocky objects that orbit the Sun. Although asteroids orbit the Sun like planets, they are much smaller than planets.
Asteroids are generally made up of rocky material, metals and their size are large in comparison to comets. Asteroid belt is found between Jupiter and Mars.

Composition of Asteroids:

Most of the asteroids in the Main Belt are made of rock and stone.

The remaining asteroids are made up of a mix of these, along with carbon-rich materials. Some of the more distant asteroids tend to contain more ices.

We determine reflectivity of asteroids by comparing the brightness of light in the visible spectrum to the brightness of light in the infrared spectrum. The light shining from asteroids is reflected sunlight.

Hence we can say that,

A 5.00 kg rock whose density is 4300 kg/m3 is suspended by a string such that half of the rock's volume is under water. You may

12345 [234]

Answer:

The tension on the string is $T = 43.302 \ N$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the rock is $m_r = 5.00 \ kg = 5000 \ g$

The density of the rock is $\rho = 4300 \ kg/m^3 = 4.3 g/dm^3$

Generally the volume of the rock is mathematically evaluated as

$V = \frac{m_r}{\rho}$

substituting values

$V = \frac{5000}{4.3}$

$V = 1162.7 \ dm^3$

The volume of the rock immersed in water is

$V_w = \frac{V}{2}$

substituting values

$V_w = \frac{1162.7 }{2}$

$V_w = 581.4 \ dm^3$

mass of water been displaced by the this volume is

$m_w = V_w$ According to Archimedes principle

=> $m_w = 581.4 \ g$

$m_w = 0.5814 \ kg$

The weight of the water displace is

$W _w = m_w * g$

$W _w = 0.5814 * 9.8$

$W _w = 5.698 \ N$

The actual weight of the rock is

$W_r = m_r * g$

$W_r = 5.0 * 9.8$

$W_r = 49.0 \ N$

The tension on the string is

$T = W_r - W_w$

substituting values

$T = 49.0 - 5.698$

$T = 43.302 \ N$

The incorrect statement about electromagnetic waves is C. induction of electric fields by changing magnetic fields only occurs if a conducting material is present.
Electromagnetic waves do not rely on any medium for propagation, which means that the generation of fields is irrespective of the presence of a conducting material.

Elena L [17]

Answer:

The ocean is 6485.6m deep when measured from the vessel

Explanation:

v=1474m/s

t=8.88s

let d represent distance from the vessel to the ocean bottom.

an echo travels a distance equivalent to 2d, that is to and fro after it reflects from the obstacle.

$velocity=\frac{distance}{time}\\ v=\frac{2d}{t} \\vt=2d\\d=\frac{vt}{2}$

$d=\frac{1474*8.8}{2}$

d= 6485.6m

A turtle takes 3.5 minutes to walk 18 m toward the south along a deserted highway. A truck driver stops and picks up the turtle.

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

3.59 m/s

Explanation:

The average velocity is defined as:

$\frac{Total displacement}{Total time}$

The turtle first walks 18m south, and then is taken 1,1Km (or 1100m) north. Thus, the total displacement is 1082m north (1100m north - 18m south).

Now we have to calculate the total time, which will be equal to the sum of the time the turtle walked and the time it was taken by truck.

The walking time is 3.5 minutes. Since 1 minute = 60 seconds, then the walking time is 210 seconds.

To calculate the truck time we use the equation:

Time = $\frac{Distance}{Speed}$

Where the distance the truck travelled is 1100m and the speed of the truck is 12m/s.

Thus,

Truck time= $\frac{1100m}{12m/s}$ = 91.67s

The total time is the sum of the walking time and the truck time.

Total time = 210s + 91.67s = 301.67s.

As mencioned previously, the average velocity is equal to total displacement/ total time, thus:

Average velocity = $\frac{1082m}{301.67s}$ = 3.59 m/s North

Since the average velocity is a vector, it has a magnitude and a direction. In this case the magnitude is 3.59 m/s and the direction is north since the turtle's final displacement is north of where it started.
