What, it isn’t?!
Sorry, I had to.
As far as I have read and understood, the Sumerians and later the Babylonians both had astronomical calendars that already differentiated planets and stars. Earth was not the center to them, the Sun likely was. That was around 2,200 - 1,600 BC.
After that, Greek philosopher Aristarchus of Samos (310 - 230 BC) was the first (recorded) to have believed the solar system was organized around the Sun, rather than the Earth. His heliocentric model was unpopular during Aristarchus’ lifetime, although it would inspire astronomers centuries later, such as Copernicus and Galileo.
Now, there are numerous archeological findings (cave paintings) and studies, that all suggest an understanding of complex astronomy in prehistoric times dating back as far as 40,000 years. This also explains how early, prehistoric migrants may have navigated the seas.

have a good day
When acceleration is constant, the average velocity is given by
where 
and 
are the final and initial velocities, respectively. By definition, we also have that the average velocity is given by
where 
are the final/initial displacements, and 
are the final/initial times, respectively.
Take the car's starting position to be at 
. Then
So we have
You also could have first found the acceleration using the equation
then solve for 
via
but that would have involved a bit more work, and it turns out we didn't need to know the precise value of 
anyway.
Answer:
14.85 m/s
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Height (h) of tower = 45 m
Horizontal distance (s) moved by the balloon = 45 m
Horizontal velocity (u) =?
Next, we shall determine the time taken for the balloon to hit the shoe of the passerby. This is illustrated below:
Height (h) of tower = 45 m
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
Time (t) =?
h = ½gt²
45 = ½ × 9.8 × t²
45 = 4.8 × t²
Divide both side by 4.9
t² = 45/4.9
Take the square root of both side
t = √(45/4.9)
t = 3.03 s
Finally, we shall determine the magnitude of the horizontal velocity of the balloon as shown below:
Horizontal distance (s) moved by the balloon = 45 m
Time (t) = 3.03 s
Horizontal velocity (u) =?
s = ut
45 = u × 3.03
Divide both side by 3.03
u = 45/3.03
u = 14.85 m/s
Thus, the magnitude of the horizontal velocity of the balloon was 14.85 m/s
Answer: 117.6N
Explanation:
By the second Newton's law, we know that:
F = m*a
F = force
m = mass
a = acceleration
We know that in the surface of the Earth, the gravitational acceleration is g = 9.8m/s^2.
Then we just can input that acceleration in the above equation, and also replace m by 12kg, and find that the force due the gravity is:
F = 12kg*9.8m/s^2 = 117.6N
The picture is kinda blurry but it looks like granite which is metamorphic.
