As earth rotates about it’s axis, it takes three hours for the united states to pass beneath a point above earth that is stationary relative to the sun. what is wrong with the following scheme? to travel from washington, d. c. to san francisco shoving very little fuel, simply ascend in a helicopter high over washington, d. c. and wait three hours until san francisco passes below

interesting question.

how much fuel to hover over one place ?

The Foucault pendulum is a v v v long pendulum which can show the eart's rotation over time if the pend bob motion is tracked and recorded

multiple allele inheritance is traits controlled by more than 2 alleles (ex: pigeons having 3 alleles of one gene govern their feather color).

  distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

explanation:

the instantaneous velocity = change in position/time taken

the slope of the graph should give instantaneous velocity.

  slope of a graph = change in value of y -axis / change in values of x -axis

  comparing both the equations

    change in value of y -axis = change in position

  change in values of x -axis = time taken

so position values should be on the y axis and time values should be on the x axis.

distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.
