(Astronomy) Why did Copernicus have to keep small epicycles in his models?
1 Actually, Copernicus did not use epicycles.
2 His model did not predict planetary positions as well as the Ptolemaic system.
3 It was the only way to explain retrograde motion.
4 Unlike the Ptolemaic system, all the planets were treated the same.

Which statement best describes copper? a. it has a low resistance and prevents charges from moving freely. b it has a high resistance and allows charges to move freely. c. it has a high resistance and prevents charges from moving freely. d. it has a low resistance and allows charges to move freely

Rank the six combinations of electric charges on the basis of the electric force acting on q1. define forces pointing to the right as positive and forces pointing to the left as negative. rank positive forces as larger than negative forces. q1,q2,q3 = positive(+) q1 = + q2 = + q3 = - q1 = + q2= - q3= + q1= - q2= + q3= + q1= + q2= - q3= - q1,q2,q3 = negative

Panel bc in fig. p2.76 is semi-circular, with the 3 meter radius and horizontal straight edge through point b. compute (a) the hydrostatic force of the water on the panel, (b) its center of pressure, and (c) the moment of this force about point b. assume atmospheric pressure on the dry side of the panel
