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.

What are some jobs that ATP can<br> help to do?
ira [324]

Answer:

ATP can be used to store energy for future reactions or be withdrawn to pay for reactions when energy is required by the cell. Animals store the energy obtained from the breakdown of food as ATP. Likewise, plants capture and store the energy they derive from light during photosynthesis in ATP molecules.

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

El cuadro no está presente pero las diferencias principales entre células eucariotas y procariotas son:

Eucariotas:

Tienen núcleo

Tienen organelas

Tienen Vacuolas

Tienen Citoesqueleto

Tienen Cloroplastos

El ADN está asociado a proteínas

El ADN es lineal

Presentan mitocondrias

Presentan un sistema de endomembranas

Procariotas:

No tienen núcleo

No tienen vacuolas

No tienen cloroplastos

No tienen organelas

El ADN no está asociado a proteínas

El ADN es circular

Presenta mesosomas

Explanation:

Las células procariotas son más primitivas que las eucariotas, por ende, sus estructuras son más simples. Las células procariotas están en organismos unicelulares tales como las bacterias, mientras que las células eucariotas están en organismos unicelulares y pluricelulares como en plantas, animales, u hongos. La diferencia más notoria entre ambos tipos de células es la ausencia de núcleo en las procariotas haciendo que el ADN está disperso en el citoplasma mientras que en las células eucariotas, el ADN está dentro del núcleo celular.
