<h2>Answer: Prism</h2>

In the eighteenth century Isaac Newton found out that <u>when a beam of light from the Sun, passes trhough a prism is decomposed in many different colors</u>. He named this phenomenom as dispersion of light.

This phenomenom occurs when a beam of white light (which is compound of many wavelengths or "colors") is refracted (the different rays of light are diverted depending on their wavelengths) in some medium, leaving their constituent colors separated.  

Therefore:

The international space station makes 15.65 revolutions per day in its orbit around the earth. assuming a circular orbit, how hi
sweet-ann [11.9K]
<span>373.2 km The formula for velocity at any point within an orbit is v = sqrt(mu(2/r - 1/a)) where v = velocity mu = standard gravitational parameter (GM) r = radius satellite currently at a = semi-major axis Since the orbit is assumed to be circular, the equation is simplified to v = sqrt(mu/r) The value of mu for earth is 3.986004419 Ă— 10^14 m^3/s^2 Now we need to figure out how many seconds one orbit of the space station takes. So 86400 / 15.65 = 5520.767 seconds And the distance the space station travels is 2 pi r, and since velocity is distance divided by time, we get the following as the station's velocity 2 pi r / 5520.767 Finally, combining all that gets us the following equality v = 2 pi r / 5520.767 v = sqrt(mu/r) mu = 3.986004419 Ă— 10^14 m^3/s^2 2 pi r / 5520.767 s = sqrt(3.986004419 * 10^14 m^3/s^2 / r) Square both sides 1.29527 * 10^-6 r^2 s^2 = 3.986004419 * 10^14 m^3/s^2 / r Multiply both sides by r 1.29527 * 10^-6 r^3 s^2 = 3.986004419 * 10^14 m^3/s^2 Divide both sides by 1.29527 * 10^-6 s^2 r^3 = 3.0773498781296 * 10^20 m^3 Take the cube root of both sides r = 6751375.945 m Since we actually want how far from the surface of the earth the space station is, we now subtract the radius of the earth from the radius of the orbit. For this problem, I'll be using the equatorial radius. So 6751375.945 m - 6378137.0 m = 373238.945 m Converting to kilometers and rounding to 4 significant figures gives 373.2 km</span>

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

The planets spun in epicycles.

Explanation:

The planets were not simply attached to a mystical sphere (“deferent”) but they were actually attached to a mini-sphere (“epicycle”) which rotated on the larger one.

What Energy source that produces wind
svetoff [14.1K]
Wind is usually caused by a difference in pressure that causes wind to be "Pushed" on the surface of earth. Air usually moves from high to low pressure and that is what we call wind. Please hit the thanks button if this helped :)
