<h2>Answer: Venus</h2>

Galileo was the first to use the telescope to observe the heavens, mainly observing the Moon, the Sun with its sunspots, Jupiter with its moons and Venus (in the early 1600s).

In the case of Venus, he observed that it presented phases (such as those of the moon) together with a variation in size; observations that are only compatible with the fact that Venus rotates around the Sun and not around Earth.

This is because Venus presented its smaller size when it is in full phase and the largest size when it is in the new one, when it is between the Sun and the Earth.

These images along with other discoveries were presented to the Catholic Church (which supported the <u>geocentric theory</u> for that time) as a proof that completely refutes Ptolemy's geocentric system and affirms <u>Copernicus' heliocentric theory.</u>

A swimming pool measures 5.0 m long x 4.0 m wide x 3.0 mdeep.

QveST [7]

Answer:

a) 588,000 N

b) 294000 N

Explanation:

Given that

Density of water = 1000kg/m3

(g) = 9.8m/s2

volume is given as (V)= 5m*4m*3m

a) force will be equal to weight of water

$W = mg = \rho g V = 1000\times 9.8 \times (5*4*3) = 588,000 kg m/s^2$

b) at either end

$P = \frac{F}{A} = P_o + \rho gh$

$dF = PdA$

$dF = \rho g w \int h dh$

$F = \rho g w \frac{h^2}{2}$

$F = \rho g A \frac{h}{2}$ [A = wh]

$F = 1000\times 9.8 \times 5\times 4 \times\frac{3}{2}$

F = 294000 N

Consider a coin which is tossed straight up into the air. After it is released it moves upward, reaches its highest point and fa

avanturin [10]

Answer:

GRAVITATIONAL FORCE

Explanation:

We may have noticed that a body thrown upward in air falls back down again after attaining a particular height. The object was able to fall down back due to the effect of gravity acting on it. If there are no force of gravity acting on the body, the body will not fall back but rather disappears into the thin air.

A coin tossed upward in the air which falls back down when released is therefore under the influence of gravity i.e GRAVITATIONAL FORCE while it moves upward after it is released

Which of the following solutions should be chosen to help restore an ecosystem naturally? A. reintroducing an animal to the ecos

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

A. reintroducing an animal to the ecosystem

Explanation:

As generally, all know that for restoring an ecosystem naturally, it requires reintroduction of an animal to the ecosystem. As though it helps in reimposing the ecosystem back, and also helps to improve our ecosystem in natural surroundings, natural terrain, and population density. Basically reintroducing an animal is also required for the balancing of the ecosystem. As everything requires a properly balanced nature.
