Among the options, the two astronomers who supported the Earth-centered system were Tycho Brahe and Ptolemy.
Both astronomers developed in fact a system where the Sun was located at the center, while the Earth and the other planets were orbiting around the Sun.
As per the given Figure attached here we know that both charges q1 and q2 will apply same force on charge q3 and hence the resultant force due to both charges will be along Y axis vertically upwards
So here we know that
now from the above equation
so both of the charges will apply 0.288 N force on q3 charge along the line joining them
now the net force due to vector sum is given by
here we know that angle is
now we have
so net force on q3 is 0.46 N vertically upwards along +Y axis
Kepler's 3rd law is given as
P² = kA³
where
P = period, days
A = semimajor axis, AU
k = constant
Given:
P = 687 days
A = 1.52 AU
Therefore
k = P²/A³ = 687²/1.52³ = 1.3439 x 10⁵ days²/AU³
Answer: 1.3439 x 10⁵ (days²/AU³)
Answer: Both cannonballs will hit the ground at the same time.
Explanation:
Suppose that a given object is on the air. The only force acting on the object (if we ignore air friction and such) will be the gravitational force.
then the acceleration equation is only on the vertical axis, and can be written as:
a(t) = -(9.8 m/s^2)
Now, to get the vertical velocity equation, we need to integrate over time.
v(t) = -(9.8 m/s^2)*t + v0
Where v0 is the initial velocity of the object in the vertical axis.
if the object is dropped (or it only has initial velocity on the horizontal axis) then v0 = 0m/s
and:
v(t) = -(9.8 m/s^2)*t
Now, if two objects are initially at the same height (both cannonballs start 1 m above the ground)
And both objects have the same vertical velocity, we can conclude that both objects will hit the ground at the same time.
You can notice that the fact that one ball is fired horizontally and the other is only dropped does not affect this, because we only analyze the vertical problem, not the horizontal one. (This is something useful to remember, we can separate the vertical and horizontal movement in these type of problems)
