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.

Explain Why a flying aeroplane has more Kinetic Energy than a flying insect?
Airida [17]

Answer:

Why do insects fly so high?

Because the angle of attack is so high, a lot of momentum is transferred downward into the flow. These two features create a large amount of lift force as well as some additional drag. The important feature, however, is the lift.

Why an Aeroplane flying has kinetic  

A flying aeroplane has potential energy has it flies above the ground level. And since the aeroplane is flying motion is associated with it and thus possesses kinetic energy. Hence a flying aeroplane has both potential and kinetic energ

dedylja [7]

CHECK COMPLETE QUESTION

The cube of wood having an edge dimension of 19.7cm and a density of 647kg/m3 floats on water

(a) What is the distance from the horizontal top surface of the cube to the water level answer in cm

(b) What mass of lead should be placed on the cube so that the top of the cube will be just level with the water surface answer in kg

Answer:

a)6.29cm

b)2.78 kg

Explanation:

Given:

Let us calculate the volume first, we were given dimension as 19.7cm=0.197m

Volume is (0.197 meters)³ = 0.00764m³

Then we can calculate the mass as;

Given mass is 647 kg/m³ x 0.00774m³ = 4.947kg

The weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity

weight = 4.947 x 9.8 N/kg = 48.44N

By Floating we can say the the buoyancy force has to equal the weight (48.44 N) which has

which is equal to the weight of volume of the displaced water. Or the mass, the calculation is the same.

We know that density of fresh water at 20ºC is 998 kg/m³

Then we can calculate the volume of displaced water as

4.947 kg / 998 kg/m³ = 0.00496 m³

We know that the displaced water has a shape of a rectangular solid with 0.197 meters on the two horizontal dimensions, and h as the height to the surface then

V = 0.197²h = 0.00496

0.00496= 0.197²h

h = 0.1278 meters or 12.78 cm

Then the the distance exposed, would be 19.7–12.78 = 6.29 cm

b) ifthe cube is fully submerged, the volume of the displaced water is 0.00774m³

mass of displaced water is 0.00774m³ x 998 kg/m³ = 7.724 kg

Added mass is the mass of the displaced water – mass of block

= 7.724–4.947 = 2.78 kg

Two polarizers A and B are aligned so that their transmission axes are vertical and horizontal, respectively. A third polarizer
Reptile [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the angle between the first polariser and the second polariser axis is θ.

By using of law of Malus

(a)

Let the intensity of light coming out from the first polariser is I'

I' = I_{0}Cos^{2}\theta     .... (1)

Now the angle between the transmission axis of the second and the third polariser is 90 - θ. Let the intensity of light coming out from the third polariser is I''.

By the law of Malus

I'' = I'Cos^{2}\left ( 90-\theta \right )

So,

I'' = I_{0}Cos^{2}\theta Cos^{2}\left ( 90-\theta \right )

I'' = I_{0}Cos^{2}\theta Sin^{2}\theta

I'' = \frac{I_{0}}{4}Sin^{2}2\theta

(b)

Now differentiate with respect to θ.

I'' = \frac{I_{0}}{4}\times 2 \times 2 \times Sin2\theta \times Cos 2\theta

I'' = \frac{I_{0}}{2}\times Sin 4\theta
