You need to know the speed and direction of object
Explanation:
1. Phases of Venus: Galileo was the first astronomer to use a telescope to observe the celestial objects. Through a telescope he observed that Venus shows the phases just like the Moon. This proved the Heliocentric theory correct against the then prevalent Geocentric theory.
2. Law of Falling bodies: The acceleration due to gravity is independent of weight of the objects that means two bodies of different mass will hit the ground at the same time if dropped from the same height.
3. The uneven surface of the Moon: He observed that the surface of the Moon is uneven and rough.
4. Discovery of the 4 Moons of Jupiter
Answer:
Explanation:
Assume that the distance travelled initially is d.
In order to stop the block you need some external force which is friction.
If we use the law of energy conservation:
a)
Looking at the formula you can see that the mass doesn't affect the distance travelled, as lng as the initial velocity is constant (Which indicates that the force must be higher to push the block to the same speed) therefore the distance is the same.
b) If the velocity is doubled, then the distance travelled is multiplied by 4, because the distance deppends on the square of the velocity.
