Answer:

Nicolaus Copernicus

Explanation:

In 1543, Nicolaus Copernicus detailed his radical theory of the Universe in which the Earth, along with the other planets, rotated around the Sun. His theory took more than a century to become widely accepted.

A model rocket is launched at an angle of 70° above the x axis, with an initial velocity of 40 m/s. How high will the rocket be
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Option (B) is correct.

using kinematic equation

h= V sin\theta t+ \frac{1}{2}gt^2

h= height of rocket

V= initial velocity= 40 m/s

t= time= 5 s

g= -9.8 m/s²

h=40 sin70 (5)+1/2 (-9.8)(5)²

h=65.4 m

Why do we use semiconductor instead of metal in thermopile?
serg [7]

Answer:

Metal or conductors , what they do is that they allow full flow of current that is conduction is due to free electrons only and there is literally no gap between valence and conduction band,so free electrons can easily jump into conduction band from valence band.

And now lets talk about insulators,what they do is that they don’t allow any current to flow i.e they act as strong dielectric,and gap between valence band and conduction band is so big that free electron can never come into conduction band from valence band ever if they try is for eternity…

But semiconductors can act both as an insulator as well as a conductor based on the voltage input. Hence, there is a possibility to control the current flow in semiconductors , so they don’t just relax and let the current pass by, they can control it, and that is why you can design logic circuits with it.

But as the temperature increases free electrons from valence band of insulators can jump to conduction band and can cause a little conductivity, and then the insulator will act as a semi-conductor.

A 2.00-kg ball is moving at 2.20 m/s toward the right. It collides elastically with a 4.00-kg ball that is initially at rest. 1)
loris [4]
Elastic collision is when kinetic energy before = kinetic energy after

Ek= 1/2mv^2

total before
Ek=1/2(2)(2.2^2) = 4.84 J

total after
Ek= 1/2(2+4)(v^2) = 3v^2

Before = after
4.84=3v^2 | divide by 3
121/75 = v^2 | square root both sides
v=1.27 m/s

The x-coordinates of two objects moving along the x-axis are given as a function of time (t). x1= (4m/s)t x2= -(161m) + (48m/s)t
Kitty [74]
The two displacement functions are
x₁ = 4t
x₂ = -161 + 48t - 4t²
where
x₁, x₂ are in meters
t is time, s

The distance between the two objects is
x = x₁ - x₂
   =  4t + 161 - 48t + 4t²
x = 4t² - 44t + 161

Write this equation in the standard form for a parabola.
x = 4[t² - 11t] + 161
  = 4[ (t - 5.5)² - 5.5² ] + 161
 x = 4(t-5)² + 40

Ths is a parabola that faces up and has its vertex (lowest point) at (5, 40).
Therefore the closest approach of the two objects is 40 m.
The graph of x versus t confirms the result.

Answer: The distance of the closest approach is 40 m.

Why is physics an important part of history
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

History and physics are intertwined through all the revolutionary thinkers, scientists, and people who studied these ideas. For example, many historical thinkers such as Isaac Newton and Galileo Galilei not only had revolutionary ideas, but they also changed life forever as the people knew it. It shocked the people and taught them new things, and upset the church.
