Which of the following statements correctly describes the models put forth by Ptolemy and Copernicus to explain the universe? A.

Through observations, both astronomers presented models where the earth remained stationary. B. Both of the models were easy to understand and thus were well received by the public almost instantly. C. The sun was in the center of Ptolemy's model, but the Earth was in the center of Copernicus' model. D. The model developed by Copernicus was simpler and had less inconsistencies than Ptolemy’s model.

The correct option is D. 
The model developed by Ptolemy has a lot of inconsistency and during the middle age additional explanation was offered for the claims made by the model. The model was very complicated because it was based on erroneous assumptions.
Copernicus model was simpler and some of his claims were correct.<span />

A 1 200-kg car traveling initially at vCi 5 25.0 m/s in an easterly direction crashes into the back of a 9 000-kg truck moving i
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

The velocity of the truck after the collision is 20.93 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of car, m₁ = 1200 kg

Initial velocity of the car, v_{Ci}=25\ m/s

Mass of truck, m₂ = 9000 kg

Initial velocity of the truck, v_{Ti}=20\ m/s

After the collision, velocity of the car, v_{Cf}=18\ m/s

Let v is the velocity of the truck immediately after the collision. The momentum of the system remains conversed.

initial\ momentum=final\ momentum

1200\ kg\times 25\ m/s+9000\ kg\times 20\ m/s=1200\ kg\times 18+9000\ kg\times v

210000-21600=9000\ kg\times v

v=20.93\ m/s

So, the velocity of the truck after the collision is 20.93 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Water at 20°C flows by gravity through a smooth pipe from one reservoir to a lower one. The elevation difference is 60 m. The pi
Serga [27]

Answer:

Flow Rate = 80 m^3 /hours  (Rounded to the nearest whole number)

Explanation:

Given

  • Hf = head loss
  • f = friction factor
  • L = Length of the pipe = 360 m
  • V = Flow velocity, m/s
  • D = Pipe diameter = 0.12 m
  • g = Gravitational acceleration, m/s^2
  • Re = Reynolds's Number
  • rho = Density =998 kg/m^3
  • μ = Viscosity = 0.001 kg/m-s
  • Z = Elevation Difference = 60 m

Calculations

Moody friction loss in the pipe = Hf = (f*L*V^2)/(2*D*g)

The energy equation for this system will be,

Hp = Z + Hf

The other three equations to solve the above equations are:

Re = (rho*V*D)/ μ

Flow Rate, Q = V*(pi/4)*D^2

Power = 15000 W = rho*g*Q*Hp

1/f^0.5 = 2*log ((Re*f^0.5)/2.51)

We can iterate the 5 equations to find f and solve them to find the values of:

Re = 235000

f = 0.015

V = 1.97 m/s

And use them to find the flow rate,

Q = V*(pi/4)*D^2

Q = (1.97)*(pi/4)*(0.12)^2 = 0.022 m^3/s = 80 m^3 /hours

Natalija [7]

Answer: 7022.2kg/m³, yes, I was cheated

Explanation:

Density of an object is defined as the ratio of the mass of the object to its volume. Mathematically;

Density = Mass/Volume

Note that the unit of both mass and volume must be standard unit.

Given mass = 0.0158kg

Dimension of the metal = 5mm×15mm×30mm

Note that 1mm = 0.001m

The volume of the metal will be

0.005×0.015×0.03

= 0.00000225m³

Density = 0.0158/0.00000225

Average density of the metal = 7022.2kg/m³

Since the standard density of Gold is 19,320kg/m³ and is higher than the density prescribed for me, it shows the I was cheated.

In lab, your instructor generates a standing wave using a thin string of length L = 1.65 m fixed at both ends. You are told that
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

The maximum transverse speed of the bead is 0.4 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that the Amplitude of the travelling wave is

A = 3.65 mm

Now the speed of the travelling wave is

v_x = 13.5 m/s

now we know that distance of first antinode from one end is 27.5 cm

so length of the loop of the standing wave is given as

\frac{\lambda}{4} = 27.5 cm

\lambda = 110 cm

now we have

N = \frac{2L}{\lambda}

N = \frac{2(1.65)}{1.10}

N = 3

now we have

R = 2A sin(kx)

R = 2(3.65) sin(\frac{2\pi}{1.10}x)

R = 7.3 sin(1.82 \pi x)

now at x = 13.8 cm

R = 7.3 sin(1.82 \pi (0.138))

R = 5.18 mm

now we have

f = \frac{v}{\lambda}

f = \frac{13.5}{1.1}

f = 12.27 Hz

now maximum speed is given as

v_y = R\omega

v_y = (5.18 \times 10^{-3})(2\pi(12.27))

v_y = 0.4 m/s
