Why do we say that Neptune was the first planet to be discovered through the use of mathematics?

puteri [66]

Answer:

explained

Explanation:

the Neptune was the first planet discovered through the use of mathematics by two astronomers one French and other English. This was breakthrough success in the field of astronomy that marked the importance of mathematics in astronomy. The discovery of the Neptune resulted from the need to explain the motion of Uranus, motion of which could not be explained by the gravitational effect of Jupiter and Neptune.It needed very complex mathematical equations to be Solved to explain it. The two astronomers were Joseph le Verrier and John Couch Adams.

What force controls the movement of the planets around the sun, holds together stars grouped in galaxies, and galaxies grouped i

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

Gravity.

Explanation:

The force that controls the movement of the planets around the sun, holds together stars grouped in galaxies, and galaxies grouped in clusters is called gravity.

This ultimately implies that, gravity is considered to be a universal force of attraction that acts between all objects that has both mass, energy and occupy space. Therefore, it acts in such a way as to bring objects together.

Additionally, the gravity of earth makes it possible for all physical objects to possess weight.

Weight can be defined as the force acting on a body or an object as a result of gravity.

Mathematically, weight is given by the formula;

$Weight = mg$

Where;

m is the mass of an object.

g is acceleration due to gravity.

A certain freely falling object, released from rest, requires 1.95 s to travel the last 23.5 m before it hits the ground. (a) Fi

Ratling [72]

Answer:

(a). The velocity of the object is -2.496 m/s.

(b). The total distance of the object travels during the fall is 23.80 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Time = 1.95 s

Distance = 23.5 m

(a). We need to calculate the velocity

Using equation of motion

$s = ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

Put the value into the formula

$-23.5=u\times1.95+\dfrac{1}{2}\times(-9.8)\times(1.95)^2$

$u=\dfrac{-23.5+4.9\times(1.95)^2}{1.95}$

$u=-2.496\ m/s$

(b). We need to calculate the total distance the object travels during the fall

Using equation of motion

$v = u+gt$

Put the value in the equation

$-2.496=0-9.8\times t$

$t =\dfrac{2.496}{9.8}$

$t=0.254\ sec$

The total time is

$t'=t+1.95$

$t'=0.254+1.95$

$t'=2.204\ sec$

We need to calculate the distance

Using equation of motion

$s = ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

Put the value into the formula

$s=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times9.8\times(2.204)^2$

$s=23.80\ m$

Hence, (a). The velocity of the object is -2.496 m/s.

(b). The total distance of the object travels during the fall is 23.80 m.

A force is always required to move an object from rest. true false

Marina CMI [18]

The statement is true because an object will remain not moving until an external force is applied into. so in order to move an object external force should be applied. for example an object fell down, even no one pushes it pulls it, but the force due to gravity is acting on it so there is still a force acting on it.
