<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>

Answer:

Fs = 32N

Fh = 21 N

Explanation:

Statics

Let Fs be the force of the shoulder, assumed upward

Let Fh be the force of the hand, assumed downward

Sum moments about the hand to zero

1.1(9.8)[67] - Fs[22.5] = 0

Fs = 32N

Sum vertical forces to zero

32 - Fh - 1.1(9.8) = 0

Fh = 21 N

Or we could sum moments about the shoulder point

1.1(9.8)[67 - 22.5] - Fh[22.5] = 0

Fh = 21 N

The red LED consists of a white LED covered with a red filter. What does the red filter do?
telo118 [61]
White light is light that's made up of ALL colors.

If you have a source of white light and you want red light,
then you have to REMOVE all the other colors from the
white light somehow.

That's what a red filter does.  The dye in the filter has chemicals
that absorb every color of light except red.  Then, red light is the
only thing left to come out of the other side.

(If the light going into the filter had no red in it, then the filter
would appear black, because there wouldn't be any light
coming out of it at all.)
