Answer:

<u>Volume</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>24.108cm</u><u>³</u>

Explanation:

Volume = length × breadth × height

Volume = 4.1 × 2.8 × 2.1

Volume = 24.108

Answer:

Volume =  24 cm^3

Explanation:

We recall that the volume of the box is calculated via the formula:

Volume = length * height * width

and that in a product, the number of significant figures for the result should coincide with the number of significant figures of the factor that has the least of them.

In this case, all measures have the same number of significant figures: two. so we calculate the product, and then limit the answer value to exactly two significant figures:

Volume = 4.1 cm * 2.8 cm * 2.1 cm = 24.108 cm^3, which must be rounded to two significant figures as: 24 cm^3

according to newton's third law, when a horse pulls on a cart, the cart pulls back on the horse with an equal force on the horse
Debora [2.8K]
Based on Newton's principle, whenever objects A and B interact with each other, they exert forces upon each other.

When a horse pulls on a cart, t<span>he horse exerts a force only to the cart. But that force applies only to the cart, not to the horse.
 
The cart in turn exerts a force on the horse. But that force applies only to the horse, not the cart also.
</span>
There are two forces resulting from this interaction - a force on the horse and a force on the cart. T<span>he net force on the cart remains as it was --- a positive force in the direction of the horse's movement. Therefore, the cart begins to accelerate and move.</span><span>

demonstrate in a brief paragraph how the search to explain planetary orbits exemplifies the scientific method and then use of mo
kari74 [83]

Answer:

People firstly believe that the planets move in a circular orbit until Newton came up with his hypothesis by inventing calculus so that we could understood and calculated planetary orbits and their accuracy.

Explanation:

  • Everyone assumed the planets were perfect circles until Newton came up with an idea. Slowly people would make maps of the orbits that added circles on circles, and they could never really explain about the movement of the planet. They simply say that planets move on circles but they lacked the math to explain or prove it. Then Newton came up with an idea of inventing calculus so that we could understood and calculated planetary orbits and their accuracy.
  • Firstly people used their observations and say that the orbits looked like circles, then they developed their models and did the math, and proposed their hypothesizes which were wrong, until Newton came along and tried to match a model that used elliptical orbits and invented the math that allowed him to make predictions with it. His model worked for most planets.
  • However he could not explain about the planet Mercury for instance since it was a very strange orbit. Then after the Einstein's theory of General Relativity he could also explain very deeply about it.
  • Scientists and Astronomers made hypothesizes that there was another planet orbiting too close to the sun to see with telescopes, called Vulcan, that explained mercury's orbit before Einstein's theory. Then long after we had telescopes which was good enough to see if there was a planet orbiting closer to the sun than mercury.
