Before giving you the answer straight away, I’d like to make sure you understand each option.

FIRST OPTION

“He developed the three laws of motion."

This option is not only the incorrect answer, but it is an incorrect statement. Galileo did not develop the three laws of motion. Isaac Newton was the one to compiled the three laws of motion.

SECOND OPTION

“He was the first to systematically study force and motion."

This option is a statement is true, and it could also be the correct answer. Galileo Galilei used experiments to search for the cause of motion.

THIRD OPTION

“He was the first to discover gravity."

This option is not only the incorrect answer, but it is an incorrect statement. Galileo was not the person to discover gravity. Sir Isaac Newton was the first to discover gravity.

FINAL OPTION

“He improved on Newton's laws."

This option is not only the incorrect answer, but it is an incorrect statement. Galilei did not improve Sir Isaac Newton’s laws.

Now that we’ve gone through each of the options individually, we can go ahead and determine the correct answer to the question, which is...

B ) He was the first to systematically study force and motion.

Option B

Explanation: Galileo Galilei (1564 - 1642) was an Italian physicist, mathematician, engineer, and philosopher that is mainly known for the telescope and the heliocentrism.

One of the first things Galileo contributed to science was on forces and motion. Because of his mathematic formation, he had a very systematic and logic approach to the science and laws of nature, so his studies where advanced for the time.

The right answer here would be option B: "He was the first to systematically study force and motion."

Air is contained in a variable-load piston-cylinder device equipped with a paddle wheel. initially, air is at 400 kpa and 17°c. the paddle wheel is now turned by an external electric motor until 75 kj/kg of work has been transferred to air. during this process, heat is transferred to maintain a constant air temperature while allowing the gas volume to triple. calculate the required amount of heat transfer in kj/kg.

To understand the behavior of the electric field at the surface of a conductor, and its relationship to surface charge on the conductor. a conductor is placed in an external electrostatic field. the external field is uniform before the conductor is placed within it. the conductor is completely isolated from any source of current or charge. part a: which of the following describes the electric field inside this conductor? it is in the same direction as the original external field.it is in the opposite direction from that of the original external field.it has a direction determined entirely by the charge on its surface.it is always zero. part b: the charge density inside the conductor is: 0non-zero; but uniformnon-zero; non-uniforminfinite part c: assume that at some point just outside the surface of the conductor, the electric field has magnitude e and is directed toward the surface of the conductor. what is the charge density η on the surface of the conductor at that point? express your answer in terms of e and ϵ0
