Answer:

People firstly believe that the planets move in a circular orbit until Newton came up with his hypothesis by inventing calculus so that we could understood and calculated planetary orbits and their accuracy.

Explanation:

  • Everyone assumed the planets were perfect circles until Newton came up with an idea. Slowly people would make maps of the orbits that added circles on circles, and they could never really explain about the movement of the planet. They simply say that planets move on circles but they lacked the math to explain or prove it. Then Newton came up with an idea of inventing calculus so that we could understood and calculated planetary orbits and their accuracy.
  • Firstly people used their observations and say that the orbits looked like circles, then they developed their models and did the math, and proposed their hypothesizes which were wrong, until Newton came along and tried to match a model that used elliptical orbits and invented the math that allowed him to make predictions with it. His model worked for most planets.
  • However he could not explain about the planet Mercury for instance since it was a very strange orbit. Then after the Einstein's theory of General Relativity he could also explain very deeply about it.
  • Scientists and Astronomers made hypothesizes that there was another planet orbiting too close to the sun to see with telescopes, called Vulcan, that explained mercury's orbit before Einstein's theory. Then long after we had telescopes which was good enough to see if there was a planet orbiting closer to the sun than mercury.

A little girl kicks a soccer ball. It goes 10 feet and comes back to her. How is this possible?
marta [7]
A classic puzzle...

She either kicked it at a wall <em>exactly</em><em /> 10 foot in front of her, where the ball rebounded off the wall.

Or, she kicked the ball straight up, vertically, at a <em>90 degree angle,</em> where due to the law of gravity, which states that anything that goes up must come down, when the soccer ball reaches exactly 10 feet, it falls back down.
(Note: This is nearly impossible to achieve -- exactly 10 feet.)

Please someone help me.
katovenus [111]

Answer:

acceleration of the car is 3 m\s^2

Explanation:

from rest means the initial velocity (vi) is zero

time = 5s

final velocity (vf) = 15m\s

a = vf - vi \ t

a = (15-0) \ 5

a= 3 m\s^2

which means that the car is speeding up 3 meters every second

A long wire carries a current toward the north in a magnetic field that is directed vertically downward perpendicular to the sur
xenn [34]

The direction of the magnetic force on the wire is west.

The magnetic force acting on the moving protons acts northward in the horizontal plane. If the thumb is up (current flows vertically up), the wrapped finger will be counterclockwise.

Therefore, the direction of the magnetic field is counterclockwise. Here, the magnetic field is pointing upwards (vertical magnetic field) and the electrons are moving east. Applying Fleming's left-hand rule here, we can see that the direction of force is along the south direction.

As the change in magnetic flux increases upwards, Lenz's law indicates that the induced magnetic field of the induced current must resist and the inside of the loop must be directed downwards. Using the right-hand rule, we can see that a clockwise current is induced.

You need to pull up the cart up this ramp. How would you change this ramp so it is easier to pull the cart up?
natali 33 [55]
I would make the ramp flatter. In doing so the ramp would have to be longer.
