How do you know the earth is rotating on its axis

Physics

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

Answer:

Explanation:

a = gsinθ

a = 9.8sin30

MrRa [10]

Answer:

The answer is C.

Explanation:

Every point mass attracts every single other point mass by a force acting along the line intersecting both points. The force is proportional to the product of the two masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. In magnitude, the force they apply each other is the same. Therefore, the force that the windshield exerts on the bug and the force that the bug exerts on the windshield are the same magnitude.
