Why do solar eclipses move from west to east?

The eclipse usually moves from west to east as the moon rotates the Earth from west to east and the Earth rotates towards the east as well.

This means that the shadow of the moon is also moving towards the east. That's why the eclipse moves towards the east (it follows the lunar shadow).

Determine the total moment of inertia of a merry-go round with 5 children sitting on it. Of the five children, four are seated a

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

We have five children.

Each of mass m =30kg

They sit on a merry go round

Mass of Merry go round M= 150kg

Radius of Merry go round is r =2m

Four children sit at the edge of the merry go round but one child sit at the centre.

The four child that sit at the edge are 2m from the centre of the merry go round but the one at the centre is 0m from the centre

Moment of inertia?

Moment of inertia is given as

I=Σmi•ri²

For the question, the moment of inertia is the combination of inertial of child and the merry go round

I= I(merry go round) + I(four child)+ I(last child)

The merry go round is assumed to be a solid cylinder, so it is going to have the moment of inertia of solid cylinder

Then,

I(merry go round ) =½ Mr²

Also, Four of the child has the same moment of inertia, they are 2m form the centre of the merry go round why the last child has no moment of inertia

I= I(merry go round) + I(four child) +I(last child )

I= ½Mr² + 4mr² + mr'²

I = ½ × 150 ×2² + 4×30×2² + 30×0²

I = 300 +480+0

I = 780 kgm²

The law of conservation of matter states that matter can be neither created nor destroyed. Your friend shows you the following c

MrRa [10]

Yes, our friend is right, because there is no contradiction to the law of conservation of mass in the above equation. It just the mass of the product is equal to the mass of reactants.. and that is shown in the equation you have presented earlier

A block of mass 0.221 kg is placed on top of a light, vertical spring of force constant 5365 N/m and pushed downward so that the

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

The maximum height above the point of release is 11.653 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of block = 0.221 kg

Spring constant k = 5365 N/m

Distance x = 0.097 m

We need to calculate the height

Using stored energy in spring

$U=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2$ ...(I)

Using gravitational potential energy

$U' =mgh$ ....(II)

Using energy of conservation

$E_{i}=E_{f}$

$U_{i}+U'_{i}=U_{f}+U'_{f}$

$\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2+0=0+mgh$

$h=\dfrac{kx^2}{2mg}$

Where, k = spring constant

m = mass of the block

x = distance

g = acceleration due to gravity

Put the value in the equation

$h=\dfrac{5365\times(0.097)^2}{2\times0.221\times9.8}$

$h=11.653\ m$

Hence, The maximum height above the point of release is 11.653 m.

Marina86 [1]

The slope of a speed-time graph is the acceleration represented by the graph.

All other parts of this question refer to a lab experiment or exercise
where I was not present, but Zeesam16 was. Therefore I have no data
with which to answer the rest of the question, and hope that Zeesam can
handle it.
