If 50 identical light bulbs are connected in series across
a single power source, then the voltage across each bulb
is ( 1/50 ) of the voltage delivered by the power source.
A). No. The entire poster is already covered with atoms,
but they're too small to see.
B). No. What's "life-size" of an atom ? It's too small to see,
and that's the whole problem.
D). No. Atoms are too small to see even with a microscope.
C). Yes ! A model of an atom, big enough to see, would help
get <em><u>some</u></em> of the important ideas across.
In an uniformly accelerated motion, the velocity of the object follows the law:
where
is the initial velocity, a the acceleration and t the time.
In our problem, the robot starts from rest, so the initial speed is zero:
. The robot is in free fall, so the acceleraion is the gravitational acceleration
. therefore, after a time
, the velocity is
Prior to the discovery and elaboration of Copernicus with the theory of heliocentricism, which states that the sun is the center of the universe and that the planets orbit around it in a circular manner. The theory of geocentrism was first published by another astronomer and philosopher, Ptolemy. As a custom in the early years of the society, people already stood for the idea that the earth is the center of the universe which is easy to believe at that time given that their perspective shows that the sun moves when observed from earth's atmosphere.
