How do you know the earth is rotating on its axis

Physics
1 answer:
cupoosta [38]2 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

When two or more different capacitors are connected in series across a potential source, which of the following statement must b
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

C. Each capacitor carries the same amount of charge.

Explanation:

When two or more different capacitors are connected in series across a potential source, each capacitor carries the same amount of charge.

In a series connected capacitor, sane amount of charge flows through the capacitors while different potential difference is passed across them.

The capacitors have the same charge as the charge flowing out directly from the potential source called emf since the emf is the driving force of charge in a circuit.
