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.

Interactive Solution 9.37 presents a method for modeling this problem. Multiple-Concept Example 10 offers useful background for

viva [34]

Answer:

21.67 rad/s²

208.36538 N

Explanation:

$\omega_f$ = Final angular velocity = $\dfrac{1}{6}78=13\ rad/s$

$\omega_i$ = Initial angular velocity = 78 rad/s

$\alpha$ = Angular acceleration

$\theta$ = Angle of rotation

t = Time taken

r = Radius = 0.13

I = Moment of inertia = 1.25 kgm²

From equation of rotational motion

$\omega_f=\omega_i+\alpha t\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\dfrac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\dfrac{13-78}{3}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=-21.67\ rad/s^2$

The magnitude of the angular deceleration of the cylinder is 21.67 rad/s²

Torque is given by

$\tau=I\alpha\\\Rightarrow \tau=1.25\times -21.67\\\Rightarrow \tau=-27.0875$

Frictional force is given by

$F=\dfrac{\tau}{r}\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{-27.0875}{0.13}\\\Rightarrow F=-208.36538\ N$

The magnitude of the force of friction applied by the brake shoe is 208.36538 N

Your bedroom has a rectangular shape and you want to measure its size. You use a tape that is precise to 0.001 m and find that t

Alex73 [517]

Your bedroom has a rectangular shape, and you want to measure its area. You use a tape that is precise to 0.001 and find that the shortest wall in the room is 3.547 long. The tape, however, is too short to measure the length of the second wall, so you use a second tape, which is longer but only precise to 0.01 . You measure the second wall to be 4.79 long. Which of the following numbers is the most precise estimate that you can obtain from your measurements for the area of your bedroom?

b)If your bedroom has a circular shape, and its diameter measured 6.32 , which of the following numbers would be the most precise value for its area?

a)30 m^2

b) 31.4 m^2

c)31.37 m^2

d)31.371 m^2

Answer:

Part A

$A = 16.99 \ m^2$
