Answer:

They had different beliefs and backgrounds.  

Explanation:

Ptolemy believed in geocentric model of the solar system -the earth at the center and the sun, other planets and stars revolved about it. His belief was based on his observation that sun and other objects in sky seemed to revolve about the Earth as they rose and set in one day.

Copernicus while reading a book, constructed the theory of heliocentric system which was later proved  through observations.

A 17.3 eV electron has a 0.295 nm wavelength. If such electrons are passed through a double slit and have their first maximum at
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

0.541 nm

Explanation:

The condition for maxima is,

dsin\theta=m\lambda

Here, m=0,1,2,.....

And d is the slit separation, m is the order of maxima, \lambda is the wavelength.

Given that, the 17.3 eV electron posses a wavelength of

\lambda=0.295 nm\\\\\lambda=0.295\times 10^{-9}m

And the order of maxima is m=1.

And the angle at which first order maxima occur is,  \theta=33^{\circ}.

Put these values in maxima condition while solving for d.

d=\frac{1\times 0.295\times 10^{-9}m}{sin33^{\circ}} \\d=\frac{0.295\times 10^{-9}m}{0.545} \\d=0.541\times 10^{-9}m}\\d=0.541 nm

Therefore, the slit separation is 0.541 nm.

The Bernoulli principle states that the pressure inside a liquid increases with depth:
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
<h2>Answer: B. False</h2>

Explanation:

According to Bernoulli's principle:

<em>"In an ideal fluid (not viscous and without friction) that circulates through a closed conduit, the energy the fluid possesses remains constant along its path." </em>

From there, Bernoulli deduced that the fluid pressure decreases when the flow rate increases. <u>And this has nothing to do with depth. </u>

<u> </u>

To understand it better:

In a fluid that circulates through a closed conduit (a pipe for example), it contains energy in two ways:

-Kinetic energy due to its <u>weigh</u>t and <u>speed. </u>

-Potential energy in the form of <u>pressure. </u>

Now, if the system has constant flow and the total energy (kinetic + potential) is also constant, <u>the energy is transformed every time the transverse area of ​​the tube is modified. </u>

It should be noted that by modifying this transverse area, the flow rate is also modified.

Therefore, <u>as the kinetic energy increases or decreases, this change is compensated by the decrease or increase in pressure</u> (potential energy), since the total energy of the system cannot be created or destroyed.

A woman fires a rifle with barrel length of 0.5400 m. Let (0, 0) be where the 125 g bullet begins to move, and the bullet travel
dybincka [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of barrel =0.54m

Mass of bullet=125g=0.125kg

Force extend

F=16,000+10,000x-26,000x²

a. Work done is given as

W= ∫Fdx

W= ∫(16,000+10,000x-26,000x² dx from x=0 to x=0.54m

W=16,000x+10,000x²/2 -26,000x³/3 from x=0 to x=0.54m

W=16,000x+5,000x²- 8666.667x³ from x=0 to x=0.54m

W= 16,000(0.54) + 5000(0.54²) - 8666.667(0.54³) +0+0-0

W=8640+1458-1364.69

W=8733.31J

The workdone by the gas on the bullet is 8733.31J

b. Work done is given as

Work done when the length=1.05m

W= ∫Fdx

W= ∫(16,000+10,000x-26,000x² dx from x=0 to x=1.05m

W=16,000x+10,000x²/2 -26,000x³/3 from x=0 to x=1.05m

W=16,000x+5,000x²- 8666.667x³ from x=0 to x=1.05mm

W= 16,000(1.05) + 5000(1.05²) - 8666.667(1.05³) +0+0-0

W=16800+5512.5-10032.75

W=12,279.75J

The workdone by the gas on the bullet is 12,279.75J

La velocidad de la luz en el vacío es c= 3000.000 km\s la luz del sol tarda en llegar a la tierra 8 minutos y 14 segundos
ehidna [41]

La velocidad correcta de la luz en el vacío es  300.000 km/s .

La distancia = (velocidad) x (duración de tiempo)

Duración de tiempo = 494 segundos, porque cada minuto = 60 segundos

La distancia = (300.000 km/s) x (494 s)

<em>La distancia = 148.200.000 km</em>
