Galileo Galilei was the first scientist to perform experiments in order to test his ideas. He was also the first astronomer to systematically observe the skies with a telescope.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>Galileo was the first scientist to invent the reflecting telescope</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Galileo was very concerned with astronomy and he made his own telescope to observe stars and heavenly objects. He used his newly invented telescope to discover four of the moons circling Jupiter, to study Saturn, to observe the phases of Venus, and to study sunspots on the Sun. His achievements include improvements to the telescope and consequent astronomical observations, and support for Copernicanism.

What do we have seasons on earth
Goryan [66]

Because the Earth's axis is not "straight up and down" as we move
around the sun. 

So when we're on one side of the sun, the top pole leans slightly toward
the sun.  During that time the sun shines more directly on the top half
of the Earth, and less directly on the bottom half.  The people on the
top half see the sun higher in the sky, and their weather is warmer,
while the people on the bottom half see the sun lower in the sky, and
their weather is cooler.

Then, when we're on the other side of the sun, the top pole leans slightly
away from the sun.  During that time the sun shines more directly on the
bottom half of the Earth, and less directly on the top half.  The people on
the bottom half see the sun higher in the sky, and their weather is warmer,
while the people on the top half see the sun lower in the sky, and their
weather is cooler.

The Earth makes the complete trip around the sun in one year, so the
people on the Earth go through this cycle of higher/lower sun and
warmer/cooler weather every year.

Three point charges are placed on the y-axis: a charge q at y=a, a charge –2q at the origin, and a charge q at y= –a. Such an ar
den301095 [7]

Answer:

electric field   Et = kq [1 / (x-a)² -2 / x² + 1 / (x+a)²]

Explanation:

The electric field is a vector, so it must be added as vectors, in this problem both the charges and the calculation point are on the same x-axis so we can work in a single dimension, remembering that the test charge is always positive whereby the direction of the field will depend on the load under analysis, if the field is positive, if the field is negative.

 a) Let's write the electric field for each charge and the total field

       E = k q /r

With k the Coulomb constant, q the charge and r the distance of the charge to the test point

       Et = E1 + E2 + E3

       E1 = k q / (x-a)²

       E2 = k (-2q) / x²  

       E3 = k q / (x + a)²

       Et = kq [1 / (x-a)² -2 / x² + 1 / (x+a)²]

The direction of the field is along the x axis

b) To use a binomial expansion we must have an expression the form (1-x)⁻ⁿ  where x << 1, for this we take factor like x from all the equations

       Et = kq/ x² [1 / (1-a/x)² - 2 + 1 / (1+a/x)²]

We use binomial expansion

     (1+x)⁻² = 1 -nx + n (n-1) 2! x² +… x << 1

     (1-x)⁻² = 1 +nx + n (n-1) 2! x² + ...

They replace in the total field and leaving only the first terms

       

   Et =kq/x² [-2 +(1 +2 a/x + 2 (2-1)/2 (a/x)² +…) + (1 -2 a/x + 2(2-1) /2 (a/x)² +.) ]

   Et = kq/x² [a²/x² + a²/x²2] = kq /x² [2 a²/x²]

Et = k q 2a²/x⁴

point charge

Et = k q 1/x²

Dipole

E = k q a/x³

An airplane flying at an altitude of 6 miles passes directly over a radar antenna. When the airplane is 10 miles away (s = 10),
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

altitude of the Plane h=6\ miles

When Airplane is s=10\ miles away

Distance is changing at the rate of \frac{\mathrm{d} s}{\mathrm{d} t}=290\ mph

From diagram we can write as

h^2+x^2=s^2

differentiate above equation w.r.t time

2h\frac{\mathrm{d} h}{\mathrm{d} t}+2x\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=2s\frac{\mathrm{d} s}{\mathrm{d} t}

as altitude is not changing therefore \frac{\mathrm{d} h}{\mathrm{d} t}=0

0+x\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=s\frac{\mathrm{d} s}{\mathrm{d} t}

at s=10\ miles\ and\ h=6\ miles

substitute the value we get x=\sqrt{10^2-6^2}=8\ miles

8\times \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=10\times 290

\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=362.5\ mph
