Galileo thought that a ball, rolling or sliding down a hill without friction, would run up to the same height on an opposite hill.

Suppose that the opposite hill was horizontal. Would the ball's motion continue forever along the tangent, or forever parallel to the Earth's surface

Galileo's conclusion from this thought experiment was that no force is needed to keep an object moving with constant velocity.

Newton took this as his first law of motion.

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

magnetic energy (proton) and magnetic plasma.

Explanation:

  • The solar fare consists of bright light that occurs in various wavelengths and is observed at the surface.
  • They are not as strong as compared to the coronal mass ejection or CME. The solar fares consist of 10²² joules, while the plasma is ejected from the solar corona and can be clearly seen from a distance.
  • The Solar flares represent an atmospheric disturbance and plasms are the medium for the growth and development of solar flare and lead to solar activity.

ohaa [14]
To find the average of data collected, add all of the measurements: 5.9+6.2+6.3+6= 12.2

Then, divide the total amount by the number of data collected which is 4: 12.2/4= 3.05

The average speed of the runner of the race is approximately 3.05 km/min
