How did Galileo come to the conclusion that the moon has mountains on its surface?
Galileo started to observe the moons blemishes witch had shadows that changed with the suns angle to it. Galileo eventually came to the conclusion that the moons suface had mountains and crators just as earth and meny other planets.
How old was Vincenzo Galilei when Galileo was born?
Galileo Galilei died on January 8, 1642 at the age of 77.
When was Galileo alive?
Galileo lived in the 16th and 17th century
The Death Anivarsary of Galileo?
In 1633 the Roman Catholic Church forced Galileo to stand trial for his belief that the Earth moves around the Sun. Galileo had to publicly denounce the idea and was sentenced to life imprisonment. He spent the the rest of his life under house arrest. Galileo became blind before he died at Arcetri, near Florence, on January 8, 1642.
Was Galileo the oldest?
No, Galileo Galilei was not the oldest person. He was born on February 15, 1564, and died on January 8, 1642, making him 77 years old at the time of his death.
The angle of an incline equals what angle?
It equals the arctangent of the gradient of the incline.
What about the incline?
To incline is to turn or bend in a certain angle.
How to measure the angle of incline of a slope?
The slope is the rise/run.And then angle of incline = arctan(slope).
What are the fomulas for incline plane?
( Assuming mass of object on incline plane is in kilograms (kg) ) . Force pulling down incline on object (kilogram force) = object mass * sin (incline angle) . Force of object acting on and normal to incline (kilogram force) = object mass * cos (incline angle) . Mechanical Advantage = 1 / ( sin ( incline angle ) )
Can an object move backward on an inclined plane?
Yes, if the incline angle becomes great enough. > As the angle increases, the force on the object down the incline increases but the effective weight on the slope surface decreases. > When the object breaks away the angle of incline can be used to calculate the coefficient of friction between the two surfaces. > coefficient of friction = sine ( incline angle ) / cosine ( incline angle )
What is the advantage of an incline plane?
MA of inclined plane:Distance moved parallel to slope / vertical distance moved:Reciprocal of sin of incline angle (from horizontal):1 / ( sin ( incline angle ) )
What did Galileo discover while under house arrest?
He developed a hypothesis for the motion of physics by using a ball and an incline. He found that when a ball rolls down an incline, it accelerates towards the bottom of the incline. When a ball rolls up an incline, it decelerates. And when a ball is on a flat surface, it moves at a constant speed because a force acts downwards in the vertical direction. As Newton discovered after Galileo died, this particular force is gravity. It is also the force responsible for the acceleration and deceleration of a ball while rolling down and rolling up an incline, respectively.On a double incline, Galileo found that a ball returns to the same vertical height that it was released from. (see what a double incline is, and you'll get it)Also, he found that neither the angle nor the total distance travelled of a rolling ball matters, only vertical height.So in contrast to Aristotle's previous theory that the natural state of objects is at rest, Galileo discovered that the proper state of motion is not at rest, but to continue in its current state of motion. Galileo's experiments with the motion of balls is the basis for Newton's law of inertia (or his first law of motion).
How is the ma of a ramp increased?
By reducing the incline angle.
What does slope tell us about a line?
Its angle of incline.
A block is at rest on an incline The force of friction necessary to prevent the block from sliding increases when the incline angle is?
increased
What describes the angle between water level and the incline of a water ski ramp?
An acute angle
What is the mechanical advantage of an incline plane?
MA of inclined plane:Distance moved parallel to slope / vertical distance moved:Reciprocal of sin of incline angle (from horizontal):1 / ( sin ( incline angle ) )
