The famous scientist Galileo Galilei did several experiments with sloping planes, which he rolled metal balls down so that he co

uld study motion. By changing the slope, he could study how the speed at which the ball rolled was affected.
What was one thing Galileo would have needed to control himself to make sure his experiment gave him useful information?

A. the speed of the ball
B. the slope of the plane
C. the pull of Earth's gravity
D. the material the ball was made of

Hi there!

The answer would be B. the slope of the plane.

Changing the slope of the plane would show how fast the ball went when Galileo changed the steepness of the slope. If he didn’t change the slopes steepness he would have the same results each time.

Hope this helps !

insens350 [35]

Answer:

  • 2.3 km/s
  • 11 km/s

Explanation:

The system is made up of three body system which are the boulder, earth and the moon also the sum of potential ad kinetic energies are assumed to be the same also note that the boulder was launched from the moon at an initial velocity

A ) Minimum speed of the boulder for it to reach the earth = 2.3 km/s

B) ignoring air resistance the impact speed on earth of a boulder launched at this minimum speed = 11 km/s

How roofs are lifted off building in tornado?
bekas [8.4K]

Explanation:

As a tornado or other storm system passes over a building, low pressure can tug a roof upward. When those forces surpass the force exerted by the weight of the roof, the structure flies up and is swept away by wind currents..

6. If a bicyclist, with initial velocity of zero, steadily gained speed until reaching a final velocity of 39m/s, how far would
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

  175 m

Explanation:

The average velocity for constant acceleration is the average of the beginning and ending velocities. That is (0+39)/2=19.5 m/s. If the bicyclist rides for 9 seconds, the distance traveled is ...

  (9 s)(19.5 m/s) = 175.5 m

She would travel 175.5 meters in that time.

How could you make a sound wave sound louder
kykrilka [37]
If you clap your hands, the shock causes the air around your hands to begin vibrating. When air particles vibrate, they bump into other particles near them. Then these particles begin to vibrate and bump into even more air particles. When the air particles begin vibrating the air inside your ear, you hear a sound.
