Answer:

1) improve the quality of data

2) new system is more simple and elegant

Explanation:

the reason for being selected new system of determining planetary positions are

1) he want to improve the quality of data for having new planetary positioned value.

b) he believed that new system is more simple and elegant for determining planetary positions by both skilled and unskilled user i.e. astronomers and general public

A plane flies 1800 miles in 9 hours, with a tailwind all the way. the return trip on the same route, now with a headwind, tak

Fittoniya [83]

Initially its moving with tail wind so here the speed of wind will support the motion of the plane

so we can say

$V_{plane} + v_{wind} = \frac{distance}{time}$

$V_{plane} + v_{wind} = \frac{1800}{9}$

$V_{plane} + v_{wind} = 200 mph$

now when its moving with head wind we can say that wind is opposite to the motion of the plane

$V_{plane} - v_{wind} = \frac{distance}{time}$

$V_{plane} - v_{wind} = \frac{1800}{12}$

$V_{plane} - v_{wind} = 150mph$

now by using above two equations we can find speed of palne as well as speed of wind

$V_{plane} = 175 mph$

$v_{wind} = 25 mph$

A baseball player leads off the game and hits a long home run. The ball leaves the bat at an angle of 70.0 from the horizontal w

professor190 [17]

Answer: 211.059 m

Explanation:

We have the following data:

$\theta=70\°$ The angle at which the ball leaves the bat

$V_{o}=55 m/s$ The initial velocity of the ball

$g=-9.8 m/s^{2}$ The acceleration due gravity

We need to find how far (horizontally) the ball travels in the air: $x$

Firstly we need to know this velocity has two components:

<u>Horizontally:</u>

$V_{ox}=V_{o}cos \theta$ (1)

$V_{ox}=55 m/s cos(70\°)=18.811 m/s$ (2)

<u>Vertically:</u>

$V_{oy}=V_{o}sin \theta$ (3)

$V_{oy}=55 m/s sin(70\°)=51.683 m/s$ (4)

On the other hand, when we talk about parabolic movement (as in this situation) the ball reaches its maximum height just in the middle of this parabola, when $V=0$ and the time $t$ is half the time it takes the complete parabolic path.

So, if we use the following equation, we will find $t$ :

$V=V_{o}+gt=0$ (5)

Isolating $t$ :

$t=\frac{-V_{o}}{g}$ (6)

$t=\frac{-55 m/s}{-9.8 m/s^{2}}$ (7)

$t=5.61 s$ (8)

Now that we have the time it takes to the ball to travel half of is path, we can find the total time $T$ it takes the complete parabolic path, which is twice $t$ :
