Answer: Planets revolve around the Sun

Explanation: The heliocentric model implies that all the planets of the solar system, therefore, the Earth, together with their satellites orbit the Sun. This means that the Sun is the center of the solar system, not the Earth as it was believed to be under the influence of the teachings of the Church in the Middle Ages. The reason for this is that gravitational force acts between celestial bodies as a consequence of the huge masses that celestial bodies have. Since the Sun has a much larger mass than all the planets and satellites of the solar system, the greatest influence, that is, the attractive force, acts from the Sun, and all planets therefore revolve around the Sun. Also, the Earth has a larger mass than the Moon, so the Moon orbits the Earth, but together with the Earth it orbits the Sun because of the huge mass of the Sun.

What are the characteristics of a blackbody radiator? Give an example.

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

A blackbody, or Planckian radiator, is a cavity within a heated material from which heat cannot escape. No matter what the material, the walls of the cavity exhibit a characteristic spectral emission, which is a function of its temperature.

Example:

Emission from a blackbody is temperature dependent and at high temperature, a blackbody will emit a spectrum of photon energies that span the visible range, and therefore it will appear white. The Sun is an example of a high-temperature blackbody.

A 50-kg block is at rest on a 15o slope. A force of 250 N is acting on the block up the slope parallel to it. If the block does

Iteru [2.4K]

The minimum value of the coefficient of static friction between the block and the slope is 0.53.

<h3>Minimum coefficient of static friction</h3>

Apply Newton's second law of motion;

F - μFs = 0

μFs = F

where;

μ is coefficient of static friction
Fs is frictional force
F is applied force

μ = F/Fs

μ = F/(mgcosθ)

μ = (250)/(50 x 9.8 x cos15)

μ = 0.53

Thus, the minimum value of the coefficient of static friction between the block and the slope is 0.53.

A kite 100 ft above the ground moves horizontally at a speed of 11 ft/s. At what rate is the angle (in radians) between the stri

frutty [35]

Answer:

-2.26×10^-4 radians

Explanation:

The solution involves a right angle triangle

Length is z while the horizontal is the height x

X^2+ 100^2=z^2

Taking the derivatives

2x(dx/dt)=Z^2(dz/dt)

Specific moments = Z= 200 ,X= 100sqrt3 and dx/dt= 11

dz/dt= 1100sqrt3/200 = 9.53

Sin a= 100/a

Taking derivatives in terms of t

Cos a(da/dt)=100/z^2 dz/dt

a= 30°

Cos (30°)da/dt= (-100/40000×9.5)

a= -2.26×10^-4radians

An ideal heat engine absorbs 97.2 kJ of heat and exhausts 83.8 kJ of heat in each cycle. What is the efficiency of the engine?

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

13.7%

Explanation:

Given that,

Heat absorbed by the engine = 97.2 kJ

Heat exhausted by the engine in each cycle = 83.8 kJ

We need to find the efficiency of the engine. It is calculated by the formula.

$\eta=1-\dfrac{Q_e}{Q_a}\\\\=1-\dfrac{83.8}{97.2}\\\\=0.137\\\\=13.7\%$

so, the efficiency of heat engine is 13.7%.

From an h = 53 feet observation tower on the coast, a Coast Guard officer sights a boat in difficulty. The angle of depression o

maksim [4K]

Answer:

757,93 feets

Explanation:

We can make a right triangle between the boat (A), the Coast Guard officer (B) and the base of the observation tower (C), like in the graph attached. Now, you could also made a rectangle, adding the horizontal at the height of the Coast Guard, starting in B and ending in D, the vertex opossing C.

The angle of depression, its O in the graph.

Now, as we got an rectangle, of course, the segment AD its the same length as CB, and CA, the distance from the boat to shoreline, its the same length as DB.

ADB its an right triangle, with AB, the hypothenuse, and BD and DA, the catheti (or <em>legs</em>).

Now, we know the lenght BC, the height of the tower, 53 feets, so we also know the lenght of DA. DA its the opposite cathetus to the angle O. We wish to know the length AC, equal to the lenght DB, the adjacent cathetus of the angle O.

Know, the trigonometric function that connects the adjacent cathetus with the opossite cathetus its the tangent.

$tangent( O ) = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}$

We can take that the angle O = 4 °, and knowing that the opossite cathetus its 53 feets, we got:

$tangent( 4) = \frac{53 feets}{DB}$

$DB= \frac{53 feets}{tangent( 4)}$

$DB= 757,93 feets$

This its equal to the distance from the boat to the shoreline.
