Answer:

Look below :) Hope this helped. Please provide Brainliest, as reporters took all I had away. Thanks!

Explanation:

Kepler's family was Lutheran and he adhered to the Augsburg Confession a defining document for Lutheranism. However, he did not adhere to the Lutheran position on the real presence and refused to sign the Formula of Concord. Because of his refusal he was excluded from the sacrament in the Lutheran church. This and his refusal to convert to Catholicism left him alienated by both the Lutherans and the Catholics. Thus he had no refuge during the Thirty-Years War.

The Holy Roman Empire of German Nationality at the Time of Kepler.

In 1612 Lutherans were forced out of Prague, so Kepler moved on to Linz. His wife and two sons had recently died. He remarried happily, but had many personal and financial troubles. Two infant daughters died and Kepler had to return to Württemburg where he successfully defended his mother against charges of witchcraft. In 1619 he published Harmonices Mundi, in which he describes his "third law."

In spite of more forced relocations, Kepler published the Epitome Astronomiae in 1621. This was his most influential work and discussed all of heliocentric astronomy in a systematic way. He then went on to produce the Rudolphine Tables that Tycho had envisioned long ago. These included calculations using logarithms, which he developed, and provided perpetual tables for calculating planetary positions for any past or future date. Kepler used the tables to predict a pair of transits by Mercury and Venus of the Sun, although he did not live to witness the events.  

Johannes Kepler died in Regensburg in 1630, while on a journey from his home in Sagan to collect a debt. His grave was demolished within two years because of the Thirty Years War. Frail of body, but robust in mind and spirit, Kepler was scrupulously honest to the data.

A List of Kepler's Firsts

First to correctly explain planetary motion, thereby, becoming founder of celestial mechanics and the first "natural laws" in the modern sense; being universal, verifiable, precise.

In his book Astronomia Pars Optica, for which he earned the title of founder of modern optics he was the:

First to investigate the formation of pictures with a pin hole camera;

First to explain the process of vision by refraction within the eye;

First to formulate eyeglass designing for nearsightedness and farsightedness;

First to explain the use of both eyes for depth perception.

How long does it take (in minutes) for light to reach venus from the sun, a distance of 1.152 × 108 km?
7nadin3 [17]
Using the precise speed of light in a vacuum (299,792,458 \ \frac{m}{s}), and your given distance of 1.152 * 10^{8} km, we can convert and cancel units to find the answer. The distance in m, using \frac{1000 \ m}{1 \ km}, is 1.152 * 10^{11} m. Next, for the speed of light, we convert from s to min, using \frac{1 \ min}{60 \ s}, so we divide the speed of light by 60. Finally, dividing the distance between the Sun and Venus by the speed of light in km per min, we find that it is 6.405 min.

A 8.4-mH inductor carries a current I = Imaxsin ωt, with Imax = 4.00 A and f = ω/2π = 60.0 Hz. What is the self-induced emf as a
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

E= -3.166 cosωt   V

Explanation:

Given that

I = Imax sinωt

L= 8.4 m H

Imax= 4 A

f = ω/2π = 60.0 Hz

ω = 120π  rad/s

We know that self induce E given as

E=-L\dfrac{dI}{dt}

\dfrac{dI}{dt}= Imax \ \omega\ cos\omega t

E=-L\times Imax \ \omega\ cos\omega t

E=-8.4\times 120\times \pi \ cos\omega t

E= -3166.72 cosωt  m V

E= -3.166 cosωt   V

This is the induce emf.

This is for physical science, need help :/
marusya05 [52]

1).  From the frame of reference of a passenger on the airplane looking out of his window, the tree appears to be moving, at roughly 300 miles per hour toward the left of the picture.

2).  The SI unit best suited to measuring the height of a building is the meter.

3).  'Displacement' is the straight-line distance and direction from the start-point to the end-point, regardless of the path that was followed to get there.  

The ball started out in the child's hand, and it ended up 2 meters away from her in the direction of the wall.  So the displacement of the ball from the beginning to the end of the story is:  2 meters toward the wall.
