Answer:

Galileo performed a famous experiment where he used a ball rolling on a ramp (inclined plane) to study the motion of objects under the influence of gravity. The ramp allowed him to make more precise measurements because the ball moved more slowly along the ramp than if it were simply dropped. Galileo discovered through this experiment that the objects fell with the same acceleration, proving his prediction true, while at the same time disproving Aristotle's theory of gravity (which states that objects fall at speed proportional to their mass). Galileo's conclusion from this thought experiment was that no force is needed to keep an object moving with constant velocity. Newton took this as his first law of motion. One result of the experiment surprised Galileo, and one surprises us. Galileo found that the heavy ball hit the ground first, but only by a little bit. Except for a small difference caused by air resistance, both balls reached nearly the same speed. And that surprised him. According to history, Galileo’s experiment on falling bodies largely contributed to Isaac Newton’s Law of Gravity. In Galileo’s experiment, he is said to have dropped balls from the Leaning Tower of Pisa. The balls were made of the same material but had different masses. Galileo set out to prove that the time it took for these objects to reach the ground would be the same. Galileo proved that objects reached the ground at the same time.

Is this statement true or false?
san4es73 [151]

The given statement is true.

Explanation:

Research work needs to be conducted in some particular, well-organized processes. This systematic process aims at gathering ample of information to reach a conclusion by the researcher.

It includes-

(i) identification of a problem to raise a question on that;

(ii) reviewing that problem and learning all about it;

(iii) clarification of the problem is needed which make the scope of study narrow;

(iv) defining the concepts and terms of the research;

(v) studying a particular group which is the objective of the research; (v) The methods and participation is reviewed;

(vi) Collection of data is needed;

(vii) analyzing the data is the last step.

What product do all three reactions in Model 2 have in common?
belka [17]

Answer;

-They all provide water

Explanation;

In reaction A, the reactants are glucose and fructose , and the products are Sucrose and water. This is a condensation reaction, following the combination of two monosaccharides (glucose and fructose) forming a dissaccharide (sucrose) and water.

In reaction B, the reactants are two amino acids, that results to formation of a dipeptide and water; this is also a condensation reaction joining two amino acids monomers, to form a dipeptide and water.

-In reaction C, a monoglyceride combines with a fatty acid to form a diglyceride and water. This is also an example of a condensation reaction that results to formation of a diglyceride and water.

Therefore, the similarity of all the reactions is that they are all condensation reactions, with water as a common product.
