How do you know the earth is rotating on its axis

Physics
1 answer:
cupoosta [38]3 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

What is the force on a 1000kg elevator that is falling freely at 9.8 m/sec^2
Advocard [28]
From Newton's second law, we know F = ma, where a is the acceleration and m is the mass in kg.

F = 1000kg * 9.8m/s = 9800N

F = 9800 N

Hope this helps!

A 0.900-V potential difference is maintained across a 1.5m length of 2
Daniel [21]

Answer:

I = 6.42 A

Explanation:

Given that,

Potential difference, V = 0.9 V

Length of the wire, l = 1.5 m

Area of cross section, A=0.6\ mm^2=6\times 10^{-7}\ m^2

We need to find the current in the wire. Let I is current. We can find it using Ohm's law as follows :

V = IR

Where R is the resistance of the wire

I=\dfrac{V}{R}\\\\I=\dfrac{V}{\rho \dfrac{l}{A}}\\\\I=\dfrac{0.9}{5.6\times 10^{-8}\times \dfrac{1.5}{6\times 10^{-7}}}\\\\I=6.42\ A

So, the current in the wire is 6.42 A.

The monkey experiment is an example of what?
Semenov [28]

Answer:

D.) Sensory adaptation

Explanation:

Assuming you are talking about the cloth and metal monkey experiment performed in the field of psychology (not physics), the monkey formed an attachment to the cloth mother because it felt closer to it, as it was more appealing to its senses.

an eskimo pushes a loaded sled with a mass of 300kg over the frictionless surface of hard-packed snow.he exerts a constant 170n
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

0.567 m/s²

Explanation:

Newton's second law:

∑F = ma

170 N = (300 kg) a

a = 0.567 m/s²

Round as needed.

For which of these questions could a testable hypothesis be developed? Check all that apply. A. Are gases better than solids? B.
Shalnov [3]

Testable hypotheses could be developed for questions  <em>B,  D,  and  E</em> .

The main problem with  A  and  C  is the word "better".  This is a rubber word.  It means different things to different people, and it can mean different things to the same person at different times.  It's always a matter of opinion, it has no unique units of measure, and there is no concrete way to measure it.  Not good for developing a testable hypothesis.
