How did foucaults pendulum and coriolis effect are used to demonstrate earths tilt?

Physics

HACTEHA [7]4 years ago

They do not demonstrate Earth's tilt. In fact, they're not "used" to demonstrate anything. It works the other way:. When you observe the Coriolis effect and the behavior of the Foucault pendulum, and you try to explain why the behave the way they do, one possible simple explanation for both of them is the Earth's ROTATION. Then, when you also observe the rising and setting of the sun and moon, and you also notice how the NUMBERS all go together, the case for the rotating, spherical Earth gets stronger and stronger.

How much force is needed to slow down a 15 kg car traveling at 60 m/s to 15 m/s in 10 seconds?​
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

The force needed to slow down the car is, F = 67.5 N

Explanation:

Given data,

The mass of the car, m = 15 kg

The initial velocity of the car, V = 60 m/s

The final velocity of the car, v = 15 m/s

The time period of deceleration, t = 10 s

The difference in the momentum of the car is,

                                     mV - mv = 15(60 - 15)

                                                    = 675 kg m/s

The rate of change in momentum of the car gives the force acting on it.

                                    F = (mV - mu) / t

Substituting the values,

                                   F = 675 / 10

                                      = 67.5 N

Hence, the force needed to slow down the car is, F = 67.5 N

Consider an electron near the Earth's equator. In which direction does it tend to deflect if its velocity is (a) directed downwa
Elenna [48]

The electron near the Earth's equator doesn't deflect if it's velocity is directed downwards.

Assume that north is directed along upwards, south is directed along downwards, east is directed along rightwards, and west is directed along leftwards.

The magnetic force on the charge q, moving with velocity v in the magnetic field B is given by

F=q(→v×→B)=qvBsinθ ..(1)

Here,

θ is the angle between the magnetic field and velocity.

Inside the Earth, the Earth's magnetic field is along northward (upwards), and the velocity is given to be along southwards (downwards) making an angle of 180°. In equation (1) sin180°=0. So, no magnetic force acts on the electron

Therefore,

The electron didn't deflect if it is directed downwards.
