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

1 answer:

7 0

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.

Answer:

Option C

your friends ball hits the ground at the same time as yours, and goes twice as far

Explanation:

The vertical speed is the same but the horizontal speed of your friend is twice yours. This implies the time to hit the ground is the same but after hitting the ground since the horizontal speed of your friend is twice, then the ball moves a horizontal diatance twice yours. Therefore, option C is correct.

What is storage of energy

Talja [164]

Hey,

Storage of energy is known as potential energy. If you take a spring for example, and you stretch it then you hold it, it has the energy you put into it but it is potential since it's not moving. Of course once you let go of it its potential energy turns into kinetic energy.

There are other examples as well, such as a battery. I decided to use the spring example because it is simpler.

I hope it helped.

I wrote all that^.
