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

An old light bulb draws only 54.3 W, rather than its original 60.0 W, due to evaporative thinning of its filament. By what facto

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

The factor of the diameter is 0.95.

Explanation:

Given that,

Power of old light bulb = 54.3 W

Power = 60 W

We know that,

The resistance is inversely proportional to the diameter.

$R\propto\dfrac{1}{D}$

The power is inversely proportional to the resistance.

$P\propto\dfrac{1}{R}$

$P\propto D^2$

We need to calculate the factor of the diameter of the filament reduced

Using relation of power and diameter

$\dfrac{P_{i}}{P_{f}}=\dfrac{D_{i}^2}{D_{f}^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{D_{i}^2}{D_{f}^2}=\dfrac{54.3}{60}$

$\dfrac{D_{i}}{D_{f}}=0.95$

$D_{i}=0.95 D_{f}$

Hence, The factor of the diameter is 0.95.

How are electricity and magnets connected?

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

Magnets are employed to generate electricity.

Explanation:

Magnets' characteristics are employed to generate electricity. Electrons are pulled and pushed by moving magnetic fields. When you move a magnet around a coil of wire, or a coil of wire around a magnet, the electrons in the wire are pushed out and an electrical current is created.
