How do you know the earth is rotating on its axis

Physics
1 answer:
cupoosta [38]3 years ago

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

A book sitting on a table is moved horizontally. Describe the
Akimi4 [234]

Frictional force and Applied force has same “magnitude” and “opposite” direction.  

Option: B  

<u>Explanation</u>:  

When a book is moved horizontally by applying “force” on the book, the frictional force is opposed to the book by the table. Here, this “frictional force” is opposing the book has the same force what we applied on the book but this frictional force and the applied force are opposite in direction. Always the “frictional force” is opposite to the “applied force” which stops the object to move. For example, if a force applied leftward to the object the frictional force is acted on the right side of the object.

When two objects are in contact they experience a "frictional force". This "frictional force" acts opposite to the force applied on to move the object.

Formula for "frictional force" is \mu\times N

Where, \mu is coefficient of friction and N is normal force.

Can a falling object reach terminal velocity in outer space? Explain.
Damm [24]
Ith air resistance acting on an object that has been dropped, the object will eventually reach a terminal velocity, which is around 53 m/s (195 km/h or 122 mph) for a human skydiver. ... (On the Moon, the gravitational acceleration is much less than on Earth, approximately 1.6 m/s2.)

ankoles [38]

Answer:

3050.6 Litre .

Explanation:

Total time of heart beat = Total time of race  = 2 hrs , 39 minutes and 54 seconds

= 2 x 60 + 39 + 54/60 min

= 120 + 39 + .9 min

= 159.9 min

rate of heart beat = 170 per min

Total no of heart beat during race = 170 x 159.9

volume of blood per kg per beat = 2.5 mL per kg of weight

body weight  = 99 pounds = .4535 x 99  kg = 44.89 kg

volume of blood  per beat = 2.5 mL x 44.89 mL

= 112.225 mL .

Total required volume of blood =  112.225  x 170 x 159.9 mL

= 3050612 mL

= 3050.6 L.

Will an electromagnet be obtained if steel is placed inside the solenoid?​
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:A solenoid is a simple electromagnetic device consisting of a coiled electric wire, wrapped in a 3D circular pattern. When electric current is passed through the wire, the solenoid acts like a magnet with N and S poles at the ends of the coil.

When a ferromagnetic material rod is permanently placed inside the solenoid, the metal greatly increases the magnetic effect and becomes a permanent electromagnet. Moreover, it can also be used as an electrical switch by drawing in or pushing out a ferromagnetic material like an iron rod. Depending on the directions of the rod and the electrical current the switching action takes place.

Given figure  represents the solenoid as electromagnet and the switching action.
