MAVERICK [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

  • Define and measure speed.

Explanation:

According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

  • Estimate the speed of light.
  • Propose the heliocentric theory.
  • Discover radioactivity.
  • Define and measure speed.
  • Invent the reflecting telescope.

Galileo Galilei was the first person to attempt to measure speed, specifically the speed of light. He attempted to do this in the 1600s, with the help of an assistant. Galileo tried to measure how quickly light would travel from one hilltop to another one. However, light was so fast that it was impossible to measure it in this way.

The planet Venus has a mass of 4.87 × 1024 kg and a radius of 6.05 × 106 km. What is the magnitude of the gravitational force th
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

7.2 x 10⁻⁶N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of Venus  = 4.87 x 10²⁴kg

Radius  = 6.05 x 10⁶km = 6.05 x 10⁹m

Mass of person  = 81kg

Unknown:

Gravitational force  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the Newtons law of universal gravitation:

  Fg  = \frac{G x mass of venus x mass of person}{radius^{2} }  

G is the universal gravitation constant  = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹

 Fg  = \frac{6.67 x 10^{-11}  x 4.87 x 10^{22} x 81 }{(6.05 x 10^9)^{2} } }

 Fg  =  7.2 x 10⁻⁶N

City A and City B are located far apart at the same latitude. City A has a much greater annual temperature range than City B. Th
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

a). is lower in elevation than city B                                

Explanation:

Temperature of a place greatly varies with height or altitudes.

As we go higher the atmospheric pressure becomes less and the temperature decreases. We feel cold at higher altitude places and relatively hot at places of lower elevation. Therefore City A which is at lower elevation  has  greater annual temperature range than the temperature range of city B although they are located at the same latitude. City A is at lower altitude and City B's elevation is higher. So City A has higher temperature range than city b.

A 350-watt vacuum is plugged into a 120-volt outlet and used for 30 seconds. How much current runs through the vacuum? 2.9 amps
myrzilka [38]

                                           Power  =  (voltage)  x  (current)

                                      350 watts  =  (120 volts) x (current)

                                      350 watts / 120 volts = current

                                            current  =  2.917 Amperes  continuously
