<span>On the scale the only external forces are the man's weight acting downwards and the normal force which the scale exerts back to support his weight.
So F = Ma = mg + Fs
The normal force Fs (which is actually the reading on the scale) = Ma + Mg
But a = 0
So Fs = Mg which is just his weight.
Fs = 75 * 9.8 = 735N</span>
Answer:
b) the earth did not orbit the sun
Explanation:
The sun appears to move through the background stars due to parallax . Parallax is a phenomenon when the near object appears to move faster than the distant object . If we travel in a train , the near object like electric poles on rail track or trees and fields nearby appear to move faster against the distant background .
Hence when the earth moves around the sun , the sun appears to move against the background the stars which are far away . Had earth remained stationary at a place on its orbit around the sun , the sun would have appeared stationary against the background the stars .
Based on internet sources, <span>the basic formulas are: v^2/r = (at)^2/r = a ==> at^2 = r ==> t = sqrt(r/a).

<span>Assuming the missing units are mutually compatible, as in the following example, they don't need to be known. </span>
<span>Acceleration = 1.6 cramwells/s^2 </span>
<span>Radius = 150 cramwells </span>
<span>t = sqrt(150/1.6) = 9.68 s.
I hope this helps.</span>
