qwelly [4]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Scientists have studied eclipses since ancient times. Aristotle observed that the Earth's shadow has a circular shape as it moves across the moon. He posited that this must mean the Earth was round. Another Greek astronomer named Aristarchus used a lunar eclipse to estimate the distance of the Moon and Sun from Earth

1. A baseball is thrown horizontally at 45 m/s. The ball slows down at a rate of 5 m/s?
meriva

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

initial velocity u = 45 m/s

acceleration a = - 5 m/s²

final velocity v = 0

v = u - at

0 = 45 - 5 t

t = 9 s

b )

s = ut - 1/2 at²

= 45 x 9 - .5 x5x 9²

405 - 202.5

202.5 m

2 )

a )

s = ut + 1/2 a t²

u = 0

s = 1/2 at²

= .5 x 9.54 x 6.5²

= 201.5 m

b )

v = u + at

= 0 + 9.54 x 6.5

= 62.01 m / s

3

a )

acceleration = (v - u) / t

= (34 - 42) / 2.4

= - 3.33 m /s²

b )

v² = u² - 2 a s

34² = 42² - 2 x 3.33² s

s = 27.41 m

c )

Average velocity

Total displacement / time

= 27.41 / 2.4

= 11.42 m /s

4 )

a )

v = u + at

v = 0 + 3 x 4

= 12 m /s

b )

s = ut + 1/2 a t²

= o + .5 x 3 x 4²

= 24 m

What do the movements of stars and galaxies tell astronomers about how the universe formed?
natulia [17]
This could be Hubble's law, or something related to it. I think there's a possibly Doppler RED SHIFT in the optical spectra of stars etc as observed on the earth. It seems that they are accelerating away from the earth, and that the further away they are the faster they are moving.
It seems that this has been connected to the idea of "The Big Bang" theory of the origin of the universe which seems to have superceded Professor Sir Fred Hoye's Steady State theory of the universe.
There's some Special Relativity in this lot, too.
