The Foucault Pendulum show that the Earth rotates because the pendulum would swing so slowly that it would appear to change direction as the Earth moved away.

<h3>How does the Foucault pendulum work?</h3>

The Foucault pendulum was able to demonstrate experimentally that the Earth revolves around itself with an angular velocity Ω, in a period of 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4 seconds.

Thus, Foucault knew that the longer the string attached to the weight, the slower the swing of his pendulum. He could attach the string above to an almost frictionless pin, and if he used a very large weight, the pendulum would swing so slowly that it would appear to change direction as the Earth moved away.

What is the function of spines on cacti
soldier1979 [14.2K]

The spines of the cactus have several functions, which are the following:

To defend them from possible predators: inside the body of the plants there is a great deal of water; if herbivores could access it, these plants would not survive.

To provide them with shade: it is true that not much, but it is enough so that the loss of water by evaporation is minimal.

Reflect sunlight: many species have white spines.
