Compare and contrast the geocentric view of the solar system with the heliocentric view of the solar system

1 answer:

7 0

This is fairly easy. The earlier view of the solar system (geocentric) was all based on how other planets and the sun were constantly revolving the earth and we were completely stationary. The Heliocentric view has been proved to be accurate, and it is that the sun is stationary and the planets are revolving it. The similarities are that in that time, it was a continued belief that the planets were the Roman Gods, i.e. Jupiter, Neptune. Another thing is that they were correct in the Geocentric theory with the thought that the planets revolved around something.

A satellite was in two separate crashes. In both crashes, the satellite had the same mass. Engineers want to know about the spee

irina1246 [14]

Answer & Explanation:

Crashing into the asteroid would cause the satellite to slow down, stop, or reverse direction, because it is a force in the opposite direction to the satellite's motion. Whichever crash was a stronger force would cause it to change motion more. It takes a stronger force to change the velocity of a more massive object.

A 1.2 x10 3 kilogram automobile in motion strikes a 1.0 x 10 -4 kilogram insect as a result the insect is accelerated at a rate

Mariana [72]

According to Newton's second law, the force applied to an object is equal to the product between the mass of the object and its acceleration:
$F=ma$
where F is the magnitude of the force, m is the mass of the object and a its acceleration.

In this problem, the object is the insect, with mass $m=1.0 \cdot 10^{-4} kg$ . The acceleration of the insect is $a=1.0 \cdot 10^2 m/s^2$ , therefore we can calculate the force exerted by the car on the insect:
$F=ma=(1.0 \cdot 10^{-4} kg)(1.0 \cdot 10^2 m/s^2)=0.01 N$

How do we find the force exerted by the insect on the car?
According to Newton's third law (known as action-reaction law), when an object A exerts a force on an object B, object B also exerts a force equal and opposite on object A. Therefore, the force exerted by the insect on the car is equal to the force exerted by the car on the object, so it is 0.01 N.

If The density of this stainless steel is7.85 g/cm3,specific heatis 0.5 J/g.K, melting pointis 1673K, heat of fusion s0.260J/kg.

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

$\Delta H=687.4 J$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, for this melting process, we can identify two sub-processes in order to take the stainless steel from solid to liquid:

1. Heat up from 298.15 K to 1673 K.

2. Undergo the phase transition.

Both process have an associated enthalpy as shown below:

$\Delta H_1=1g*0.5\frac{J}{g*K} (1673K-298.15K)=687.4J$

$\Delta H_2=0.001kg*\frac{0.260J}{kg} =0.00026J$

Therefore, the required heat is:

$\Delta H=\Delta H_1+\Delta H_2\\\\\Delta H=687.4J+0.00026J\\\\\Delta H=687.4J$

Notice the problem is not providing neither the mass or volume, that is why we assumed the mass is 1 g; however, it can be changed to the mass you are given.

Best regards!

Do all objects fall at the same rate?and if they do not why?

Tema [17]

No, I heavier object will fall much faster than something lighter than it. This is because it’s more dense and hard so it can cut through the air particles quicker than a lighter object which takes longer to cut through the air and fall

Example:

A rock vs a feather
The rock will fall quicker because it’s more dense and falls straight down and the feather will be slower because it flows slowly down through the air particles

Read the scenario.

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

distance = 6 m

Explanation:

- Distance is a scalar quantity (so, only magnitude, no direction), and it is calculated as the scalar sum of all the distances travelled by an object during its motion, regardless of the direction. So, in this problem, the distance covered by the pinecone is

d = 4 m + 2 m = 6 m

- Displacement is a vector quantity (magnitude+direction), and its magnitude is calculate as the distance in a straight line between the final position and the initial position of the object. In this case, the final position is 2 m west and the initial position is 0 m, so the displacement of the pinecone is

d = 2 m west - 0 m = 2 m west

So, a scalar quantity from this scenario is

distance = 6 m
