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

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 would the velocity of the book change if the applied force were equal to the sliding friction force
Inessa [10]
Yes, Sliding friction opposes the movement of the book, slowing it down.sliding That's the 'kinetic' kind.. According to Newton's second law, F=ma. That is, the bear's acceleration should be proportional to the total force acting on the bear. As the bear's velocity is constant, its acceleration is zero. Therefore, the total Force acting on the bear is zero. Thus, the friction has to be equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the bear's weight. As W=mg, we get that its weight is  <span>9.8*400=3,920 Newton. Thus, the friction acting on the bear is 3,920 Newton</span>

Why do we feel the force of gravity from the Earth but we don’t feel the force of gravity from the moon?
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

The gravitational force on the moon is less than on Earth because the strength of gravity is determined by an object's mass. The bigger the object, the bigger the gravitational force. Gravity is pretty much everywhere. We just feel it in different ways depending on our state of motion.

I don’t understand how to do this
anzhelika [568]

Explanation:

A) Use Hooke's law to find the spring constant.

F = kx

40 N = k (0.4 m)

k = 100 N/m

B) Period of a spring-mass system is:

T = 2π √(m / k)

T = 2π √(2.6 kg / 100 N/m)

T = 1 s

Frequency is the inverse of period.

f = 1 / T

f = 1 Hz

The angular momentum of a flywheel having a rotational inertia of 0.140 kg ·m2 about its central axis decreases from 3.00 to 0.8
Rasek [7]

Answer

given,

I = 0.140 kg ·m²

decrease from 3.00 to 0.800 kg ·m²/s in 1.50 s.

a) \tau = \dfrac{\Delta L}{\Delta t}

   \tau = \dfrac{0.8-3}{1.5}

        τ = -1.467 N m

b) angle at which fly wheel will turn

   \theta= \omega t +\dfrac{1}{2}\alpha t^2

   \theta= \dfrac{L}{I} t +\dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{\tau}{I}t^2

   \theta= \dfrac{3}{0.14}\times 1.5+\dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{-1.467}{0.14}\times 1.5^2

        θ = 20.35 rad

c) work done on the wheel

     W = τ x θ

     W = -1.467 x 20.35 rad

    W = -29.86 J

d) average power of wheel

    P_{av} =-\dfrac{W}{t}

    P_{av} =-\dfrac{(-29.86)}{1.5}

     P_{av} =19.91\ W

How do you know the speed of an electromagnetic wave in a vacuum?
ycow [4]
Electromagnetic waves need no matter to travel - they can travel through empty space (a vacuum). In a vacuum, all electromagnetic waves travel at approximately 3 x 108 m/s - which is the fastest speed possible. ...
Light traveling value through an optical Fibre is, 2 x 108 m/s. Hope that helps.
