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

Objects 1 and 2 attract each other with a electrostatic force of 72.0 units. If the distance separating objects 1 and 2 is chang
qaws [65]

Answer:

288.0 units; that is the electrostatic force of attraction become quadruple of its initial value.

Explanation:

If all other parameters are constant,

Electrostatic Force of attraction ∝ (1/r²)

F = (k/r²) = 72.0

If r₁ = r/2, what happens to F₁

F₁ = (k/r₁²) = k/(r/2)² = (4k/r²) = 4F = 4 × 72 = 288.0 units

A 75.0-kg person climbs stairs, gaining 2.50 m in height. Find the work done to accomplish this task.
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

W=1837.5J

Explanation:

A force exerts work when there is a displacement of its point of application in the direction of that force. Therefore, the work done by a system is defined as the inner product between the applied force and the displacement:

W=\vec{F}\cdot \vec{d}\\W=Fcos\theta d

In this case, we have:

F=mg\\h=dcos\theta

So, replacing this:

W=mgh\\W=75kg*9.8\frac{m}{s^2}*2.5m\\W=1837.5J
