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.

At the outer edge of a rotating space habitat, 130 m from the center, the rotational acceleration is g. What is the rotational a
enyata [817]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

R1 = 130 m

R2 = 65 m

w^2R = g

Assume, g = 9.81 m/s^2

w^2 = 9.81/130

w = 0.275 rad/s

At R2 = 65 m

g = w^2R

= (0.275^2) × 65

= 4.905 m/s^2

In conclusion,

g × R = k

g1/R1 = g2/R2

g2 = (g1 × 65)/130

= g1 ×1/2

= g1/2

A coin released at rest from the top of a tower hits the ground after falling 5.7 s. What is the speed of the coin as it hits th
Bad White [126]

Given parameters:

Initial velocity of Coin = 0m/s

Time taken before coin hits ground  = 5.7s

Unknown:

Final velocity of the coin  = ?

Velocity is displacement with time. To solve this problem, we have to apply one of the equations of motion.

The fitting one of them here is shown below;

             V = U + gt

where;

V is the final velocity

U is the initial velocity

g is the acceleration due to gravity

t is the time taken

Here we use positive value of acceleration due to gravity because the coin is falling with the effect of acceleration and not against it.

Now input the parameters and solve;

               V  = 0 + 9.81 x 5.7

               V = 55.917m/s

Therefore, the final velocity is 55.917m/s.
