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 difference between a bony fish and a cartilaginous fish?
blondinia [14]
Bony fish belong to Class Osteichthyes, while cartilaginous fish belong to Class Chondrichthyes. Bony fish have a bony skeleton, while cartilaginous fish have one composed mostly of cartilage. Bony fish have body coverings of scales, while cartilaginous fish are covered with dendritical projections (think shark skin).
Bony fish are found in fresh and salt water; cartilaginous fish are found only in salt water. Bony fish have gills covered by an operculum; cartilaginous fish have gill slits. Bony have no eyelids; the cartilaginous fish do. Bony fish have an air-filled swim bladder; cartilaginous fish have an oil-filled liver to keep them bouyant. Hope this helps! Whew!
