How would Ptolemy explain the rising of the Sun? Contrast this to Copernicus's explanation of the same event.

Physics
1 answer:
Alborosie3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Ptolemy and Copernicus have presented different model in front of us.

As per Ptolemy, Earth is the center of the universe and all other planets and celestial bodies such as moon or Sun revolve around it. So as per his theory he would say that the celestial would rotate in west side due to which Sun would appear in eastern horizon.

But Copernicus theory is a contradiction of Ptolemy's  work. As per him, Sun is the center of the universe and all other planets revolve around it. For the Sun rise event, he would have said the Earth rotates at east side and Sun appears.

Select the correct answer.<br> Which type of energy is thermal energy a form of
elena-s [515]
Kinetic energy. thermal energy (a low form of energy ) is a form of kinetic energy as it is produced as a result of motion of particles either if they vibrate at their position or they move along longer paths. Motion produces friction or resistance which leads to excitation and thus the heat is produced. The higher the motion of the particles, the higher would be the thermal energy.

Add a vector whose magnitude is 13 with angle 27 degrees to one whose magnitude is 11 with angle 45 degrees? Put the length firs
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Magnitude of the vector is 23.75\ \text{units} and the direction is 35.23^{\circ}

Explanation:

Magnitude of first vector = |A| = 13\ \text{units}

Angle = \theta_1=27^{\circ}

Magnitude of second vector = |B| = 11\ \text{units}

Angle = \theta_2=45^{\circ}

x component of first vector

A_{x}=|A|\cos\theta_1\\\Rightarrow A_x=13\cos27^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow A_x=11.6\ \text{units}

y component of first vector

A_{y}=|A|\sin\theta_1\\\Rightarrow A_y=13\sin27^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow A_y=5.9\ \text{units}

x component of second vector

B_{x}=|B|\cos\theta_2\\\Rightarrow B_x=11\cos45^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow B_x=7.8\ \text{units}

y component of first vector

B_{y}=|B|\sin\theta_2\\\Rightarrow B_y=11\sin45^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow A_y=7.8\ \text{units}

Adding the magnitudes

C_x=A_x+B_x=11.6+7.8\\\Rightarrow C_x=19.4\ \text{units}

C_y=A_y+B_y=5.9+7.8\\\Rightarrow C_y=13.7\ \text{units}

Magnitude of the sum of the vectors would be

|C|=\sqrt{C_x^2+C_y^2}\\\Rightarrow |C|=\sqrt{19.4^2+13.7^2}=23.75\ \text{units}

The direction would be

\theta=\tan^{-1}\dfrac{C_y}{C_x}\\\Rightarrow \theta=\tan^{-1}\dfrac{13.7}{19.4}\\\Rightarrow \theta=35.23^{\circ}

The magnitude of the vector is 23.75\ \text{units} and the direction is 35.23^{\circ}

why did scientists using classical, newtonian physics have difficulty explaining the photoelectric effect
zzz [600]

The correct answer is :

According to classical electrodynamics, light energy is a wave that is absorbed by atoms in a manner similar to how an object absorbs radiant heat. So, the atoms of a metal would absorb more energy the brighter the light was. It would be feasible for an electron in a metal to break free from its atoms if it received enough energy from the incoming wave. The more energy absorbed, the more energetic the metal's released electrons would be. Additionally, no electrons could conceivably be ejected until each atom had enough light energy. Light intensity was far more important than light frequency.

In many respects, the photo-electric effect contradicted this strategy:

  • If the light was below a specific frequency, no matter how bright it was, no electrons were released. Increased light intensity increased the number of electrons that were released, but not their energy, if the light was above this frequency.
  • Regardless of how weak the light was, electrons were nearly immediately emitted from the metal.
  • Even though the intensity of the light was reduced, an increase in its frequency led to more energising electrons leaving the metal.

Calculate the maximum capillary rise/fall of mercury in a 0.5 mm radius glass capillary. Assume that the surface tension for mer
tekilochka [14]

Answer: 0.01 m

Explanation: The formulae for capillarity rise or fall is given below as

h = (2T×cosθ)/rpg

Where θ = angle mercury made with glass = 50°

T = surface tension = 0.51 N/m

g = acceleration due gravity = 9.8 m/s²

r = radius of tube = 0.5mm = 0.0005m

p = density of mercury.

h = height of rise or fall

From the question, specific gravity of density = 13.3

Where specific gravity = density of mercury/ density of water, where density of water = 1000 kg/m³

Hence density of mercury = 13.3×1000 = 13,300 kg/m³.

By substituting parameters, we have that

h = 2×0.51×cos 50/0.0005×9.8×13,300

h = 0.6556/65.17

h = 0.01 m
