In what do physical properties detiemen how matter is classified

1 answer:

4 0

A substance is a sample of matter whose physical and chemical properties are the same throughout the sample because the matter has a constant composition. It is common to see substances changing from one state of matter to another. To differentiate the states of matter at least at a particle level, we look at the behavior of the particles within the substance. When substances change state, it is because the spacing between the particles of the substances is changing due to a gain or loss of energy. For example, we all have probably observed that water can exist in three forms with different characteristic ways of behaving: the solid state (ice), liquid state (water), and gaseous state (water vapor and steam). Due to water's prevalence, we use it to exemplify and describe the three different states of matter. As ice is heated and the particles of matter that make up water gain energy, eventually the ice melts in to water that eventually boils and turns into steam.

The Ptolemaic model of the universe:

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

The Ptolemaic model of the universe A) explained and predicted the motions of the planets with deferents and epicycles.

Explanation:

Ptolemy of Alexandria built an explanation of the observed movements of the planets that remained in force for thirteen centuries. Ptolemy proposed a model of the Universe with the Earth in the center. In the model, the Earth remains stationary while the planets, the Moon and the Sun describe complicated orbits around it. In other words, Ptolemy devised a system in which he used epicycles, deferential and eccentric, and it was necessary to introduce an equating point to reproduce planetary movements. He proposed that:

a) Each planet revolves with constant velocity around a circle called an epicycle.

b) The center of the epicycle is located and moves with constant velocity around another circle called deferential.

c) The center of the deferent is located at a moving point, which travels with constant speed describing another circumference called eccentric.

d) The center of the eccentric coincides with the center of the Universe.

e) Since the Earth is not located in the center of the Universe, but very close to it, it was necessary to introduce an equating point, which is not on Earth, and from which you can see the planet move with constant speed.

However, Ptolemy put forward this geometric theory to explain mathematically the movements and failed to adjust any system of cycles, epicycles and eccentrics that accurately represented the observed movements of the planets.

Finally, The Ptolemaic model of the universe A) explained and predicted the motions of the planets with deferents and epicycles.

Whenever two Apollo astronauts were on the surface of the Moon, a third astronaut orbited the Moon. Assume the orbit to be circu

inysia [295]

Answer:

$v = 1,582 \ \frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

We know that for circular motion the centripetal acceleration $a_c$ is:

$a_c = \frac{v^2}{r}$

where v is the speed and r is the radius.

The centripetal acceleration for the astronaut must be the gravitational acceleration due to the gravity, as there are no other force. So

$a_c = 1.27 \frac{m}{s^2}$ .

The radius of the orbit must be the radius of the Moon, plus the 270 km above the surface

$r = 1.7 * 10^6 \ m + 270 \ km$

$r = 1.7 * 10^6 \ m + 270 * 10^3 \ m$

$r = 1.7 * 10^6 \ m + 0.270 * 10^6 \ m$

$r = 1.97 * 10^6 \ m$

We can obtain the speed as:

$v^2 = a_c r$

$v = \sqrt{a_c r}$

$v = \sqrt{1.27 \frac{m}{s^2} * 1.97 * 10^6 \ m}$

$v = \sqrt{ 2.509 \ 10^6 \ \frac{m^2}{s^2}}$

$v = 1.582 \ 10^3 \ \frac{m}{s}$

$v = 1,582 \ \frac{m}{s}$

And this is the orbital speed.

A bird flies 2 km to the south then 0.2 km to the north . What is the displacement of the bird?

lidiya [134]

The displacement of the bird is 1.8 km...because displacement is the distanse of the object from mean position to the travelled position.....hope it helps
