How do you know the earth is rotating on its axis

Physics
1 answer:
cupoosta [38]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Read below!

Explanation:

You can watch the sun wheel across the sky during the day, and the stars at night. Focus a telescope on any star besides the north star--especially southern stars--and you can watch them drift across your field of view.  

An alternative explanation is that all the stars are painted on (or holes in) some canopy that rotates around the earth. This explanation does not account for the motion of the "wanderers," or planets, as the Greeks called them, or for the path of the moon among the stars.  

As we know the stars are massive bodies of significant and varying distance to the earth, the notion they all swing around us in unison seems highly implausible

What are one of the ways the atmosphere recycle gases through interactions with the biosphere?
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

Though the process photosynthesis

Explanation:

One of the important ways by which the atmosphere recycle gases through interactions with the the biosphere is by photosynthesis.

The biosphere is the living component on the earth. The atmosphere is the gaseous envelope round the earth.

  • Photosynthesis is the process whereby green plants manufacture their food using carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight to produce glucose and oxygen gas.
  • This way, atmospheric carbon dioxide is exchanged for oxygen gas.

This way, there is a sustained interaction between the atmosphere and biosphere.

The doppler effect is when objects are not moving?<br><br> True <br><br> False
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

reviewing the statement we can say that it is FALSE

Explanation:

The Doppler effect is the change in the perceived frequency of a sound wave by the RELATIVE MOTION of the source and the observer.

This effect is very useful for finding the speed of an object.

When reviewing the statement we can say that it is FALSE

A bird flies at a speed of 2.3 m/s if it has 14 j of kinetic energy what is the mass
Sidana [21]
Kinetic Energy =  1/2 * mv²

Kinetic Energy = 14 J,  v = 2.3 m/s ,  m = ?

14  =      1/2 * m* 2.3²

14 = 0.5*m*2.3*2.3

m =  14 / (0.5*2.3*2.3)

m = 5.29 kg.

Mass = 5.29 kg.

A 2.00-kg object A is connected with a massless string across a massless, frictionless pulley to a 3.00-kg object B. Object A re
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

  • tension: 19.3 N
  • acceleration: 3.36 m/s^2

Explanation:

<u>Given</u>

  mass A = 2.0 kg

  mass B = 3.0 kg

  θ = 40°

<u>Find</u>

  The tension in the string

  The acceleration of the masses

<u>Solution</u>

Mass A is being pulled down the inclined plane by a force due to gravity of ...

  F = mg·sin(θ) = (2 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(0.642788) = 12.5986 N

Mass B is being pulled downward by gravity with a force of ...

  F = mg = (3 kg)(9.8 m/s^2) = 29.4 N

The tension in the string, T, is such that the net force on each mass results in the same acceleration:

  F/m = a = F/m

  (T -12.59806 N)/(2 kg) = (29.4 N -T) N/(3 kg)

  T = (2(29.4) +3(12.5986))/5 = 19.3192 N

__

Then the acceleration of B is ...

  a = F/m = (29.4 -19.3192) N/(3 kg) = 3.36027 m/s^2

The string tension is about 19.3 N; the acceleration of the masses is about 3.36 m/s^2.
