Process of Science Task: Earth-Centered vs. Sun-Centered Models.

Physics
1 answer:
Gnoma [55]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

There are a number of models as explained below.

Explanation:

  • Depending on the position of the earth in the orbit, stars will be in different positions relative to the distant stars.

This model can be explained by the parallax effect. An object is viewed differently by the left and the right eye.

Reference can be made to the geocentric and heliocentric arguments. The first view argues that heavens are composed of 55 concentric spheres.

On the other hand, the heliocentric system, proposed by Copernicus, suggested that the Sun, not the earth, was the center of the solar system.

A roller coaster starts from rest at point A. What is its speed at point C if the track is frictionless.
OleMash [197]
At A, coaster is only associated with potential energy.
At B, coaster is associated with kinetic as well as potential energy.
Since the track is frictionless, no energy will be lost when coaster reaches from point A to point B. Therefore, according to conservation of energy, total energy at A should be equal to total energy at B.
Total energy at A = mgh = mg(12) 
Total energy at B = mgh+ mv²/2 = mg(2) + mv²/2
∴12mg = 2mg + mv²/2
∴(12g-2g)×2 = v²
∴v² = 20g
∴v = 14m/s.

Again conserving energy at points B and C.
Total energy at B = 2mg + m(14)²/2 
Total energy at C = 4mg + mv²/2
∴2mg + m(14²)/2 = 4mg + mv²/2
Solving this you get,
v = 12.52 m/s.
Therefore, speed of roller coaster at point C is 12.52 m/s.

Explain how living things such as people and trees are different from non living things such as rocks and tents
Musya8 [376]
The difference between living things and nonliving things is little things that we call is senses like sight, taste, touch, smell, and hearing. For example a human or animal can react to someone or something touching them. For a nonliving thing such as a rock can't react to someone touching them unless u force them to.

When finding net force, why must you know the directions of the forces acting on an object?
Mariulka [41]
<h3>One reason we should know what the directions of the forces acting on an object is so we can know if we have to add or subtract. same = add together, opposite = subtract from each other. Also if we don't pay attention to the direction the Net force will be wont be accurate. There will be factors that will upset the calculation.So we must know the direction of the two forces because we have to know if we are adding or subtracting and if the answer is accurate. </h3>

What are the starting materials for nuclear fission
aliina [53]
In normal fission reactors, the fuel used to start the nuclear fission is Uranium-235. 
Generally, fuel rods enriched with uranium-235 are used to start the fission. When a nucleus of uranium-235 absorbs a neutron, it becomes unstable and then it breaks apart, producing two smaller nuclei, several neutrons and energy. The additional neutrons produced in the reaction are then absorbed by other nuclei of uranium-235, triggering other fission reactions, and so on.
