publish a book in which he explained his heliocentric theory.

Explanation:

The heliocentric theory is the one according which the Sun is in the center of our Solar Sistem and the planets go around it.  

Previously to this theory (before Copernicus) the prevalent theory was geocentrism accordind which it was the earth who stood in the center and all the other celestial bodies went around it.

the gravitational force between two objects is 1600 and what will be the gravitational force between the objects if the distance
Xelga [282]

I believe this is what you have to do:

The force between a mass M and a point mass m is represented by

F = G\frac{Mm}{r^{2} }

So lets compare it to the original force before it doubles, it would just be the exact formula so lets call that F₁

So F₁ = G(Mm/r^2)

Now the distance has doubled so lets account for this in F₂:

F₂ = G(Mm/(2r)^2)

Now square the 2 that gives you four and we can pull that out in front to give

F₂ = \frac{1}{4} G(Mm/r^2)

Now we can replace G(Mm/r^2) with F₁ as that is the value of the force before alterations

now we see that:

F₂ = \frac{1}{4} F₁

So the second force will be 0.25 (1/4) x 1600 or 400 N.

Determine the total amount of heat, in joules, required to completely vaporize a 50.0-gram sample of h2o(?) at its boiling point
Tanzania [10]
In order to calculate the amount of energy required, we must first check the latent heat of vaporization of water from literature. The latent heat of vaporization of any substance is the amount of energy required per unit mass to convert that substance from a solid to a liquid. For water this is 2,260 J/g. We now use the formula:
Energy = mass * latent heat
Q = 50 * 2,260
Q = 113,000 J

113,000 Joules of heat energy are required.

If the net force on a block is zero
amm1812

If the net force on a block is zero, the block will move at constant velocity

Explanation:

We can answer this question by applying Newton's second law of motion, which states that the net force on an object is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration:

\sum F = ma (1)

where

\sum F is the net force on the object

m is its mass

a is its acceleration

In this problem, we have a block, and the net force on it is zero:

\sum F = 0

According to eq.(1), this also implies that

a=0

So, the acceleration of the block is zero.

However, acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of a body:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}

where \Delta v is the change in velocity in a time of \Delta t. Since the acceleration is zero, this means that \Delta v=0, and therefore the velocity of the object is constant.
