Johannes Kepler, an apprentice of Brahe, believed in the heliocentric universe but rejected past astronomers' belief in
Rashid [163]
<span>So the question is in what did johannes Kepler reject since he believed in the heliocentric universe. So heliocentric system is a system where the sun is in the center of the Solar system. Geocentric system is the system where Earth, not Sun is in the center of our system. He was against Geocentric system. </span>

An object of height 2.7 cm is placed 29 cm in front of a diverging lens of focal length 16 cm. Behind the diverging lens, and 12
kati45 [8]

Answer:

A)  q = -8.488 cm ,  B)  m = 0.29

Explanation:

A) For this exercise in geometric optics, we will use the equation of the constructor

          \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{p} +  \frac{1}{q}

where p and q are the distance to the object and image, respectively and f is the focal length

in our case the distance the object is p = 29 cm the focal length of a diverging lens is negative and indicates that it is f = - 12 cm

         \frac{1}{q} = \frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{p}

     

we calculate

          \frac{1}{q} = - \frac{1}{12} - \frac{1}{29}

          \frac{1}{q} = - 0.1178

          q = -8.488 cm

the negative sign indicates that the image is virtual

B) the magnification is given

          m = \frac{h'}{h} = - \frac{q}{p}

       

we substitute

          m = - \frac{-8.488}{29}

          m = 0.29

the positive sign indicates that the image is right

An astronaut floating in space throws a wrench forward with the force of 10 N.
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

10N

Explanation:

1. Every Action has an equal and opposite reAction.

2. If 10N of force is acted upon an wrench, then the wrench will react with an equal amount of force, but in the opposite direction.

Starting from rest, a basketball rolls from the top to the bottom of a hill, reaching a translational speed of 6.1 m/s. Ignore f
tatiyna

Answer:

a) h=3.16 m, b)  v_{cm }^ = 6.43 m / s

Explanation:

a) For this exercise we can use the conservation of mechanical energy

Starting point. Highest on the hill

           Em₀ = U = mg h

final point. Lowest point

           Em_{f} = K

Scientific energy has two parts, one of translation of center of mass (center of the sphere) and one of stationery, the sphere

           K = ½ m v_{cm }^{2} + ½ I_{cm} w²

angular and linear speed are related

           v = w r

           w = v / r

            K = ½ m v_{cm }^{2} + ½ I_{cm} v_{cm }^{2} / r²

            Em_{f} = ½ v_{cm }^{2} (m + I_{cm} / r2)

as there are no friction losses, mechanical energy is conserved

             Em₀ = Em_{f}

             mg h = ½ v_{cm }^{2} (m + I_{cm} / r²)         (1)

             h = ½ v_{cm }^{2} / g (1 + I_{cm} / mr²)

for the moment of inertia of a basketball we can approximate it to a spherical shell

             I_{cm} = ⅔ m r²

we substitute

            h = ½ v_{cm }^{2} / g (1 + ⅔ mr² / mr²)

            h = ½ v_{cm }^{2}/g    5/3

             h = 5/6 v_{cm }^{2} / g

           

let's calculate

           h = 5/6 6.1 2 / 9.8

           h = 3.16 m

b) this part of the exercise we solve the speed of equation 1

          v_{cm }^{2} = 2m gh / (1 + I_{cm} / r²)

in this case the object is a frozen juice container, which we can simulate a solid cylinder with moment of inertia

              I_{cm} = ½ m r²

we substitute

             v_{cm } = √ [2gh / (1 + ½)]

             v_{cm } = √(4/3 gh)

let's calculate

             v_{cm } = √ (4/3 9.8 3.16)

             v_{cm }^ = 6.43 m / s

Nature selects organisms with specific ______to survive and reproduce
Effectus [21]

Answer:

Nature selects organisms with specific heritable traits to survive and reproduce

Explanation:

The Evolution Theory by natural selection dictates that organisms with specific inherited characteristics have better survival chances in the new environment.

Inheriting positive traits such as resistance to a certain disease will improve the survival chances of the organism to enable it reproduce and pass that gene to the next generation.
