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

Which answer shows a balanced nuclear equation for the alpha decay of plutonium-239
Setler [38]

Explanation:

When plutonium - 239 undergoes an alpha decay, it produces uranium - 235 in the process.

A radioactive occurs when a nuclide spontaneously disintegrates due to instability to produce lighter atoms which the release of radiation and energy.

    ²³⁹₉₄Pu    ⇒    ²³⁵₉₂U    +   ⁴₂He    +   energy

In a nuclear reaction, the mass and atomic numbers must always remain conserved. Nuclear reactions do not obey the law of conservation of matter and mass.

The mass number are the superscript before the symbol of the nuclide

The atomic number is the subscript.

The sum of the atomic number on the left hand side equals that on the right hand side. This goes for the mass number too.

The intensity of light from a central source varies inversely as the square of the distance. If you lived on a planet only half
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

the intensity will be 4 times that of the earth.

Explanation:

let us assume the following:

intensity of light on earth =J

distance of earth from sun = d

intensity of light on other planet = K

distance of other planet from sun = \frac{d}{2} (from the question, the planet is half as far from the sun as earth)

from the question the intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, hence

  • intensity on earth : J = \frac{1}{d^{2} }

        Jd^{2} = 1 ... equation 1

  • intensity on other planet : K =  \frac{1}{(\frac{d}{2}) ^{2} }  (the planet is half as far from the sun as earth)

        K(\frac{d}{2}) ^{2} = 1 ....equation 2

  • equating both equation 1 and 2 we have

       Jd^{2} = K(\frac{d}{2}) ^{2}

       Jd^{2} = K\frac{d^{2}}{4}

       J = \frac{K}{4}

        K = 4J

       intensity of light on other planet (K) = 4 times intensity of light on earth (J)
