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

Physics

HACTEHA [7]3 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.

An object is 50 cm from a converging lens with a focal length of 40 cm . A real image is formed on the other side of the lens, 2
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

d) -4.0

Explanation:

The magnification of a lens is given by

M=-\frac{q}{p}

where

M is the magnification

q is the distance of the image from the lens

p is the distance of the object from the lens

In this problem, we have

p = 50 cm is the distance of the object from the lens

q = 250 cm - 50 cm is the distance of the image from the lens (because the image is 250 cm from the obejct

Also, q is positive since the image is real

So, the magnification is

M=-\frac{200 cm}{50 cm}=-4.0

A- 1000 m/s2<br> Xi-0m<br> Xf-0.75m<br> Vf-?
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

The final velocity of the object is,  v_{f} = 27 m/s    

Explanation:

Given,

The acceleration of the object, a = 1000 m/s²

The initial displacement of the object, x_{i} = 0 m

The final displacement of the object,  x_{f} = 0.75 m

The initial velocity of the object will be, v_{i} = o m/s

The final velocity of the object, v_{f} = ?

The average velocity of the object,

                                    v = ( x_{f} - x_{i} )/ t

                                      = 0.75 / t

The acceleration is given by the relation

                                     a = v / t

                                   1000 m/s² = 0.75 / t²

                                            t² = 7.5 x 10⁻⁴

                                            t = 0.027 s

Using the I equation of motion,

                                  v_{f} = u + at

Substituting the values

                                   v_{f} = 0 + 1000 x 0.027

                                                           = 27 m/s

Hence, the final velocity of the object is,  v_{f} = 27 m/s

What's is meant by relative motion?​
saveliy_v [14]

Relative motion means a motion relative to a reference point. We can also say, relative motion means motion referred or observed from a reference point.

For example, Alex is in a train and Ace is at the station, when the train starts moving, for Ace it is moving at a speed of 10 m/s, but for Alex it is moving at 0 m/s, or we can say that it is at rest for Alex, but in motion for Ace. This is relative motion.

All objects, regardless of their mass, fall with the same rate of acceleration on
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

A -TRUE

Explanation:

The mass, size, and shape of the object are not a factor in describing the motion of the object. So all objects, regardless of size or shape or weight, free fall with the same acceleration.
