How do you know the earth is rotating on its axis

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 sports car accelerates from rest for 5 seconds reaching a velocity of 23.0 m/s.

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

<h2>4.6 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's velocity and time taken can be found by using the formula

<h3> $a = \frac{v - u}{t} \\$ </h3>

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time taken

a is the acceleration

Since the body is from rest u = 0

From the question we have

$a = \frac{23 - 0}{5} = \frac{23}{5} \\$

We have the final answer as

<h3>4.6 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you

A thin soap bubble of index of refraction 1.33 is viewed with light of wavelength 550.0nm and appears very bright. Predict a pos

faust18 [17]

Answer:

The possible thickness of the soap bubble = $1.034\times 10^{-7}\ m.$

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

Refractive index of the soap bubble, $\mu=1.33.$
Wavelength of the light taken, $\lambda = 550.0\ nm = 550.0\times 10^{-9}\ m.$

Let the thickness of the soap bubble be $t$ .

It is given that the soap bubble appears very bright, it means, there is a constructive interference takes place.

For the constructive interference of light through a thin film ( soap bubble), the condition of constructive interference is given as:

$2\mu t=\left ( m+\dfrac 12 \right )\lambda.$

where $m$ is the order of constructive interference.

Since the soap bubble is appearing very bright, the order should be 0, as $0^{th}$ order interference has maximum intensity.

Thus,

$2\mu t=\left (0+\dfrac 12\right )\lambda\\t=\dfrac{\lambda}{4\mu}\\\ \ = \dfrac{550\times 10^{-9}}{4\times 1.33}\\\ \ = 1.034\times 10^{-7}\ m.$

It is the possible thickness of the soap bubble.
