During a discussion of the Earth\u2019s rotation, he\u2019ll ask you which tool the French physicist L\u00e9on Foucault used in his experiments. It\u2019s a hard question. L\u00e9on Foucault rose to fame in 1851 after demonstrating the effect of the Earth\u2019s rotation in spectacular fashion at the Panth\u00e9on in Paris. He wasn\u2019t the first scientist to make such a demonstration, but he was the first to grab the public\u2019s attention, and the tool he used ended up being named after him. Did L\u00e9on Foucault use the hourglass, the pendulum, or the planisphere in his experiments? After explaining the Earth completes one full rotation every 24 hours and introducing L\u00e9on Foucault as a groundbreaking figure, Mr. Takenozuka picks on you and asks which tool he used in his experiments. Now you have to choose from the following answers: The hourglass The pendulum The planisphere Well, I confess I didn\u2019t know the answer to this one off the top of my head, but compared to some of the other school answers in Persona 3 Reload, it was fairly easy to find out. As it says on the L\u00e9on Foucault Wikipedia page, he was most famous for his demonstration of the Foucault pendulum. So, the answer is \u201cThe Pendulum.\u201d Say that L\u00e9on Foucault used the pendulum in his experiments, and you'll get a little boost to your Charm social stat. Although this type of pendulum ended up being named after Foucault, he didn\u2019t actually invent it. That honor goes to the Italian Vincenzo Viviani, who performed much the same experiment two centuries earlier but crucially did not make the connection to the Earth\u2019s rotation. Which of the following did L\u00e9on Foucault use in his experiment on the rotation of the Earth? Your favorite French physicist, Foucault, comes up again in the midterm exams. Specifically, in the physics exam on May 20 (5\/20). This time, the question is worded a little differently, and you\u2019re given different answers to choose from: A magnet A tuning fork A pendulum A vacuum tube It\u2019s basically the exact same question, though, and it has the same answer: A pendulum. L\u00e9on Foucault used a pendulum in his experiment on the rotation of the Earth. It was really more of a demonstration than an experiment, but I\u2019m going to let that slide because life\u2019s too short to spend time picking holes in Persona 3 Reload\u2019s notions of reality.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Persona_3_Reload_Foucault.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1118746"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2198"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1118746"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1118746\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1118784,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1118746\/revisions\/1118784"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1118752"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1118746"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1118746"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1118746"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1118746"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1118746"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1118746"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1118746"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
