How does the Foucault Pendulum show that the Earth rotates?

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.

Vlad [161]

Explanation:

<u>D. 6</u>

There are two forms of the gene, CTGT and TGTC, called alleles. These have undergone 3 crossover events, which may create two separate copies.

Thus 2 × 3 (# of events)= 6 new alleles

The interchange of chromosome segments, including homologous non-sister or identical chromatids. Crossing over happens at chiasmata, where non-sister chromosomes are fused together.

Further Explanation:

DNA variants on chromosomes,may have different forms called alleles. DNA, which is a genotype, is transcribed into mRNA and then converted into amino acids that are linked together by rRNA to form proteins that make up the morphology of the individual.
