Answer:

Ptolemy proposed a model, he reference system is centered on the Earth

Copernicus, proposed a deferent system,  this system is centered on the Sun, where it is at the origin of the system

Explanation:

Thousands of years ago, Ptolemy proposed a model to explain the movement of the planets and stars in the sky, in this model the reference system is centered on the Earth, so each body is orbiting in different spheres around the Earth as its center, this system had very complicated calculations and curves to be able to explain the orbits of the planets.

More recently Copernicus, proposed a deferent system, this system is centered on the Sun, where it is at the origin of the system, in this system the movement of the planets are ellipses, which is a much simpler explanation and has been widely accepted, in current systems the reference system is fixed in the bodies more massive, since this simplifies the explanation of the movements.

Moving a distal part of arms or legs to follow a circular path is:
azamat
Moving a distal part of arms or legs to follow a circular path is called circumduction. This medical term is sometimes described as circular movement because the movements of hands and arms are tracing circles in the air or space. Circumduction is also described as conical movement.<span> </span>

Using the force and vector explain why the car is off the road after being hit by the bus
Vilka [71]

Answer:

Solution

Explanation:

Solution:-

- The direction of motion of bus and car can be denoted by velocity vectors ( v1 and v2 ) respectively.

- On a page draw the velocity vector v1 vertically up denoting the direction of motion of bus from origin

- Similarly,draw the velocity vector v1 horizontally left denoting the direction of motion of car from origin.

-  The force exerted by the car-bus interaction is always in the direction of motion.

- The force exerted by the bus is parallel to velocity vector as F1 and force exerted by the car is parallel to velocity vector as F2.

- The vector addition of of the two forces ( F1 and F2 ) will tell us the direction and magnitude of resultant force due to car-bus interaction.

- The resultant force will cause the car to be pushed off the road in the direction shown in the diagram.

Two massless bags contain identical bricks, each brick having a mass M. Initially, each bag contains four bricks, and the bags m
stepladder [879]

Answer: F_{2}=\frac{3}{4}F_{1}

Explanation:

According to Newton's law of universal gravitation:

F=G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}

Where:

F is the module of the force exerted between both bodies

G is the universal gravitation constant.

m_{1} and m_{2} are the masses of both bodies.

r is the distance between both bodies

In this case we have two situations:

1) Two bags with masses 4M and 4M mutually exerting a gravitational attraction F_{1} on each other:

F_{1}=G\frac{(4M)(4M)}{r^2}   (1)

F_{1}=G\frac{16M^2}{r^2}   (2)

F_{1}=16\frac{GM^2}{r^2}   (3)

2) Two bags with masses 2M and 6M mutually exerting a gravitational attraction F_{2} on each other (assuming the distance between both bags is the same as situation 1):

F_{2}=G\frac{(2M)(6M)}{r^2}   (4)

F_{2}=G\frac{12M^2}{r^2}   (5)

F_{2}=12\frac{GM^2}{r^2}   (6)

Now, if we isolate \frac{GM^2}{r^2} from (3):

\frac{F_{1}}{16}=\frac{GM^2}{r^2}   (7)

Substituting \frac{GM^2}{r^2}  found in (7) in (6):

F_{2}=12(\frac{F_{1}}{16})   (8)

F_{2}=\frac{12}{16}F_{1}   (9)

Simplifying, we finally get the expression for F_{2}  in terms of F_{1} :

F_{2}=\frac{3}{4}F_{1}

List possible causes of fever and explain the benefits of fever
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

Fever or elevated body temperature might be caused by:

A virus.

A bacterial infection.

Heat exhaustion.

Certain inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis — inflammation of the lining of your joints (synovium)

A malignant tumor.

Many illness-causing microbes do best at the body's normal temperature. A fever raises the temperature beyond which certain microbes need to reproduce. A fever also kicks your child's immune system into high gear, spurring the rapid production of bug-clobbering white blood cells.
