Nicolaus Copernicus was a Polish astronomer who is best known for the theory that the sun is near the center of the universe and

that the earth and other planets revolve around it. Copernicus did not believe that the planets were influenced by or revolved due to the sun; instead he believed that the sun was located near the center of the universe and that it was this center which influenced those bodies and caused them to revolve. When this theory was first published, the scientific community did not accept it. Which reason BEST explains the reason for rejection of this theory? A) It was not published until his death. B) It was not understood by scientific world. C) It lacked sufficient evidence and explanation. D) It lacked practical examples in supporting theory.

An airplane of mass 1.60 ✕ 104 kg is moving at 66.0 m/s. The pilot then increases the engine's thrust to 7.70 ✕ 104 N. The resis

(a) No, because the mechanical energy is not conserved

Explanation:

The work-energy theorem states that the work done by the engine on the airplane is equal to the gain in kinetic energy of the plane:

W=\Delta K (1)

However, this theorem is only valid if there are no non-conservative forces acting on the plane. However, in this case there is air resistance acting on the plane: this means that the work-energy theorem is no longer valid, because the mechanical energy is not conserved.

Therefore, eq. (1) can be rewritten as

W=\Delta K + E_{lost}

which means that the work done by the engine (W) is used partially to increase the kinetic energy of the airplane (\Delta K) and part is lost because of the air resistance (E_{lost}).

(b) 77.8 m/s

First of all, we need to calculate the net force acting on the plane, which is equal to the difference between the thrust force and the air resistance:

F=7.70\cdot 10^4 N - 5.00 \cdot 10^4 N=2.70\cdot 10^4 N

Now we can calculate the acceleration of the plane, by using Newton's second law:

a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{2.70\cdot 10^4 N}{1.60\cdot 10^4 kg}=1.69 m/s^2

where m is the mass of the plane.

Finally, we can calculate the final speed of the plane by using the equation:

v^2- u^2 = 2aS

where

v=? is the final velocity

u=66.0 m/s is the initial velocity

a=1.69 m/s^2 is the acceleration

S=5.00 \cdot 10^2 m is the distance travelled

Solving for v, we find

v=\sqrt{u^2+2aS}=\sqrt{(66.0 m/s)^2+2(1.69 m/s^2)(5.00\cdot 10^2 m)}=77.8 m/s

At a certain instant, coil A is in a 10-T external magnetic field and coil B is in a 1-T external magnetic field. Both coils hav
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

A) coil A

Explanation:

According to Faraday, Induced emf is given as;

E.M.F = ΔФ/t

ΔФ = BACosθ

where;

ΔФ  is change in magnetic flux

θ is the angle between the magnetic field, B, and the normal to the loop of area A

A is the area of the loop

B is the magnetic field

From the equation above, induced emf depends on the strength of the magnetic field.

Both coils have the same area and are oriented at right angles to the field.

Coil A has a magnetic field strength of 10-T which is greater than 1 T of coil B, thus, coil A will have a greater emf induced in it.
