Question: How does a lunar eclipse occur? What evidence can you provide to explain that?

Physics

Answer:

Claim: Lunar eclipses occur when Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, blocking the sunlight falling on it.

Evidence: A lunar eclipse is caused by Earth blocking sunlight from reaching the moon and casting a shadow across its surface. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon and Sun are on opposite sides of Earth. Sun-blocking Earth casts two shadows on the moon: The umbra is a full, dark shadow, and the penumbra is a partial shadow. Lunar eclipses can be divided into two types: total and partial. A total lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon and Sun are on opposite sides of Earth. A partial lunar eclipse happens when only part of Earth's shadow covers the Moon.

Reasoning:  The Moon moves into the shadow of the Earth during a lunar eclipse. This can occur only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are exactly or very closely aligned (in syzygy) with Earth between the other two, which can happen only on the night of a full moon when the moon is near either lunar node.

Hope this helps you czn!!

Question 7 of 25
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

2PBr₃ + 3Cl₂ → 2PCl₃ + 3Br₂

2Na + MgCl₂ → 2NaCl + Mg

Explanation:

A balanced chemical equation is a chemical equation that have an equal number of elements of each type on both sides of the equation

Among the given chemical reactions, we have;

2PBr₃ + 3Cl₂ → 2PCl₃ + 3Br₂

In the above reaction;

The number of phosphorus, P, on either side of the equation = 2

The number of bromine atoms, Br, on either side of the equation = 6

The number of chlorine atoms, Cl, on either side of the equation = 6

Therefore, the number of elements in the reactant side and products side of the reaction are equal and the reaction is balanced

The second balanced chemical reaction is 2Na + MgCl₂ → 2NaCl + Mg

In the above reaction, there are two sodium atoms, Na,  one magnesium atom and two chlorine atoms on both sides of the reaction, therefore, the reaction is balanced

A man walks 400 m in the direction 45° north of east. Represent this vector graphically by
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Coordinate system is one that describe the location of an object in a given plane. It implies the use of axes (coordinates) and points.

Given that the man in the question walks 400 m due north of east. The cardinal points can be used in this case, with the north and east cardinals as the required axis.

scale = \frac{length on drawing}{original length}

         = \frac{10}{400}

         = \frac{1}{40}

scale = 1:40

This is a reduced scale which implies that 1 cm on the drawing is equal to 40 m on the original length.

The man's direction is 45^{o} north of east.

The graphical drawing of the vector is herewith attached to this answer.

An object in projectile motion will follow wich path
seraphim [82]
It will tend to follow a trajectory path. When a projectile is being flung or flown away by a certain type of force, the trajectory is what it follows through the means of both force and function of time itself. It's also called as flight path.

After fixing a flat tire on a bicycle you give the wheel a spin. If its initial angular speed was 6.36 rad/s and it rotated 14.7
lesya692 [45]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the cinematic equations of angular motion. On these equations, angular acceleration is defined as the squared difference of angular velocity over twice the radial displacement. This is mathematically:

\alpha = \frac{\omega^2-\omega_0^2}{2\theta}

Our values are,

\text{Initial angular velocity} = \omega_0 =6.36 rad/s

\text{Final angular velocity} =  \omega =0

\text{Angular displacement} =  \theta = 14.7rev = 29.4\pi rad

Replacing,

\alpha = \frac{- 6.36^2}{29.4\pi}

\alpha = -0.43rad/s^2

Therefore the angular acceleration is -0.43rad/s^2
