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

Physics
1 answer:
HACTEHA [7]4 years ago
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.

Explain why semiconductors, or metalloids, deserve their name.
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

Because their properties like conductivity, electronic configuration and ionization lies in between the metals and nonmetals.

Explanation:

There are a total of six elements that fall in the category of semiconductors.

Namely these are boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, and tellurium.

These elements look like metals i.e. are lustrous but do not conduct electricity  so well like a metal does.

Their chemical behavior falls between that of metals and nonmetals. For example, the pure metalloids form covalent crystals like the nonmetals, but like the metals, they generally do not form mono-atomic anions.

What does activation energy has to do with a chemical reaction.
asambeis [7]

Explanation:

Activation energy and reaction rate

The activation energy of a chemical reaction is closely related to its rate. Specifically, the higher the activation energy, the slower the chemical reaction will be. ... The released energy helps other fuel molecules get over the energy barrier as well, leading to a chain reaction.

A vector is given by R 2i + j+3k. Find (a) magnitudes of the x, y, and z components; (b) the ma nitude of R; and (c) the angles
Darya [45]

Answer:

given,

R = 2i + j+3k

a) magnitude in x = 2

                          y = 1

                          z = 3

b) magnitude of R

R = \sqrt{2^2+1^2+3^2}

R = 3.74 units

c) angle between the R and  the x, y, and z axes.

cos \theta_x=\dfrac{2}{3.74}

θ x = 57.72°

cos \theta_y=\dfrac{1}{3.74}

θ y = 74.51°

cos \theta_z=\dfrac{3}{3.74}

θ z = 36.68°

The potential difference between two parallel conducting plates in vacuum is 165 V. An alpha particle with mass of 6.50×10-27 kg
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

kinetic energy (K.E) = 5.28 ×10⁻¹⁷            

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of  α particle (m) = 6.50 × 10⁻²⁷ kg

Charge of  α particle (q) = 3.20 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

Potential difference ΔV = 165 V

Find:

kinetic energy (K.E)

Computation:

kinetic energy (K.E) = (ΔV)(q)

kinetic energy (K.E) = (165)(3.20×10⁻¹⁹)

kinetic energy (K.E) = 528 (10⁻¹⁹)

kinetic energy (K.E) = 5.28 ×10⁻¹⁷
