Answer:

Johannes Kepler

Explanation:

Johannes Kepler was a 17th Century Astronomer and mathematician who gave the famous laws of planetary motion. The first law states that the planets move around the star in an elliptical orbit and not a circular orbit.

He worked as an assistant with Tycho Brahe, another great astronomer of that era and used data collected by him to formulate the laws of planetary motion. Although Brahe believed in Geocentric Theory of the Universe, it was Kepler who used his data to prove the Heliocentric Theory correct.

If the car traveled 754 meters in a straight line between 0 and 36 seconds, what was the
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

20.94 m/s

Explanation:

Recall that average velocity is defined as:

V = distance / time

Then, for our case:

V = 754 m / 36 sec = 20.94 m/s

A baseball is hit nearly straight up into the air with a speed of 22 m/s. (a) how high does it go? (b) how long is it in the air
Mariulka [41]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

When the ball attains maximum height, it will have zero vertical velocity.
The maximum height, h. obeys the equation
0 = (22 m/s)² - 2*(9.8 m/s²)*(h m)
h = 22²/(2*9.8) = 24.694 m

Answer: The maximum height attained is 24.7 m (nearest tenth)

Part b.
The vertical height traveled by the ball obeys the equation
h = (22 m/s)t - (1/2)*(9.8 m/s²)*(t s)²
where
h = vertical height, m
g = 9.8 m/s², acceleration due to gravity
t = time, s

To find how long the ball stays in the air, set h = 0 to obtain
4.9t² - 22t = 0
t(4.9t - 22) = 0
t = 0, or t = 22/4.9 = 4.49 s
t = 0 corresponds to the launch, and t = 4.49 s corresponds to when the ball retuns to the ground.

Answer: The ball stays in the air for 4.5 s (nearest tenth)
