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.

An inductor is connected to a 26.5 Hz power supply that produces a 41.2 V rms voltage. What minimum inductance is needed to keep
alexira [117]

Answer:

The minimum inductance needed is 2.78 H

Explanation:

Given;

frequency of the AC, f = 26.5 Hz

the root mean square voltage in the circuit, V_{rms} = 41.2 V

the maximum current in the circuit, I₀ = 126 mA

The root mean square current is given by;

I_{rms} = \frac{I_o}{\sqrt{2} } \\\\I_{rms}  = \frac{126*10^{-3}}{\sqrt{2} }\\\\I_{rms}  =0.0891 \ A

The inductive reactance is given by;

X_l = \frac{V_{rms}}{I_{rms}} \\\\X_l= \frac{41.2}{0.0891}\\\\X_l = 462.4 \ ohms

The minimum inductance needed is given by;

X_l = \omega L\\\\X_l = 2\pi  fL\\\\L = \frac{X_l}{2\pi f}\\\\L = \frac{462.4}{2\pi *26.5}\\\\L = 2.78 \ H

Therefore, the minimum inductance needed is 2.78 H

Do tides depend more on the strength of gravitational pull or on the difference in strengths? explain.
SSSSS [86.1K]
Tides are influenced by the force of gravity exerted by the earth, moon and the sun. The sun has a larger mass than the moon and as such has a greater gravitational pull on the earth. the moon however has greater influence over the tides because they are caused by the difference in gravity fields. This means that the moon is the dominant influence due to the fact that the fractional difference in its force across the earth is greater than that seen from the sun.

In order to do work, the force vector must be
gregori [183]

As we know that total work done by a force is given by

W = F.d

W = Fdcos\theta

so it is product of force and displacement along same direction

as we can write it as

W = (Fcos\theta)(d)

so it must be the product of force and displacement in same directions so correct answer must be

<u>B. in the same direction as the displacement vector and the motion.</u>
