Why aren't there lunar and solar eclipses every month?

The reason why lunar and solar eclipses do not occur every month is because; the plane of orbit of the moon around the earth is not same as that of earth around the sun.

<h3>Why don't lunar and solar eclipses occur every month?</h3>

When the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, there's solar eclipse while when the earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon, there's lunar eclipse.

Hence, because the plane of orbit of the moon around the earth is not same as that of earth around the sun, we do not have lunar and solar eclipses every month.

The moon's orbital plane is different from that of the earth's orbit around the sun due to which lunar and solar eclipses do not occur every month.

<h3 /><h3>What is a solar eclipse?</h3>

When the moon passes in front of Earth and the sun, it creates a solar eclipse and casts a shadow across the globe.

Only during the new moon phase, when the moon travels squarely between the sun and Earth and casts shadows on its surface, can a solar eclipse occur.

Due to the moon's orbit being five degrees off-center from Earth's orbit around the Sun, lunar eclipses do not happen every month and the Moon often passes above or below the shadow.

Lunar eclipses would happen every month if there were no tilt. Eclipses of the sun and the moon happen equally often.

Hence lunar and solar eclipses aren't coming every month.

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

a)<em> It took 1.28 seconds to Neil Armstrong's voice to reach the Earth via radio waves. </em>

b) <em>The minimum time that will be required for a message from Mars to reach the Earth via radio waves is 192 seconds. </em>

Explanation:

The electromagnetic spectrum is the distribution of radiation due to the different frequencies at which it radiates and its different intensitie. That radiation is formed by electromagnetic waves, which are transverse waves formed by an electric field and a magnetic field perpendicular to it.

The distribution of the radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum can also be given in wavelengths, but it is more frequent to work with it at frequencies:

Gamma rays

X-rays

Ultraviolet rays

Visible region

Infrared

Microwave

Radio waves.

Any radiation that belongs to electromagnetic spectrum has a speed in vacuum of $3x10^{8}m/s$ .

<em>a) Find the time it took for his voice to reach the Earth via radio waves.</em>

To know the time that took for Neil Armstrong's voice to reach the Earth via radio waves, the following equation can be used:

$c = \frac{d}{t}$ (1)

Where v is the speed of light, d is the distance and t is the time.

Notice that t can be isolated from equation 1.

$t = \frac{d}{c}$ (2)

The distance from the Earth to the Moon is $3.85x10^{8} m$ , therefore.

$t = \frac{3.85x10^{8} m}{3x10^{8}m/s}$

$t = 1.28s$

Hence, it took 1.28 seconds to Neil Armstrong's voice to reach the Earth via radio waves.

<em>b) Determine the minimum time that will be required for a message from Mars to reach the Earth via radio waves.</em>

The distance from the Earth to the Mars at its closest approach is $5.76x10^{10}m$ , therefore.

$t = \frac{5.76x10^{10}m}{3x10^{8}m/s}$

$t = 192s$

Hence, the minimum time that will be required for a message from Mars to reach the Earth via radio waves is 192 seconds.

A woman living in a third-story apartment is moving out. Rather than carrying everything down the stairs, she decides to pack he

Flura [38]

Answer:

T = 480.2N

Explanation:

In order to find the required force, you take into account that the sum of forces must be equal to zero if the object has a constant speed.

The forces on the boxes are:

$T-Mg=0$ (1)

T: tension of the rope

M: mass of the boxes 0= 49kg

g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8m/s^2

The pulley is frictionless, then, you can assume that the tension of the rope T, is equal to the force that the woman makes.

By using the equation (1) you obtain:

$T=Mg=(49kg)(9.8m/s^2)=480.2N$

The woman needs to pull the rope at 480.2N

The suspension cable of a 1,000 kg elevator snaps, sending the elevator moving downward through its shaft. The emergency brakes

tester [92]

Answer:

option (E) 1,000,000 J

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the suspension cable, m = 1,000 kg

Distance, h = 100 m

Now,

from the work energy theorem

Work done by the gravity = Work done by brake

mgh = Work done by brake

where, g is the acceleration due to the gravity = 10 m/s²

Work done by brake = 1000 × 10 × 100

Work done by brake = 1,000,000 J

this work done is the release of heat in the brakes

Hence, the correct answer is option (E) 1,000,000 J
