Explanation:
the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun Even though the Moon is much smaller than the Sun, because it is just the right distance away from Earth, the Moon can fully block the Sun's light from Earth's perspective This completely blocks out the Sun's light
(a) 
<u>Explanation:</u>
Given:
Moment of Inertia of m₁ about the axis, I₁ = m₁x²
Moment of Inertia of m₂ about the axis. I₂ = m₂ (L - x)²
Kinetic energy is rotational.
Total kinetic energy is 
Work done is change in kinetic energy.
To minimize E, differentiate wrt x and equate to zero.
Alternatively, work done is minimum when the axis passes through the center of mass.
Center of mass is at 
I believe that it is called refracting...
1. With this statement, the author is referring to the fact that the vehicles are one of the largest polluters of the air. In order to reduce the pollution, the vehicles that are used will need to be changed, and with it the pollution will decrease significantly. The reduction of the pollution will come because the vehicles on hydrogen will not cause any pollution, so the enormous amounts of carbon dioxide released from the combustion of the engines will be thing of the past.
2. There are several challenges with this type of vehicles in order for them to replace the fossil fuel driven ones. The big price is one of the factors, as the majority of the people can not afford these cars. Another problem is that these vehicles are not as fast as the fossil fuel driven ones, and lot of people enjoy fast driving, despite it not being safe. There are millions of vehicles out there on the roads, and changing all of them with hydrogen vehicles will take a lot of time, as lot of those vehicles are new ones, so the people will not be willing to just throw them away and leave them rot in their garages. In order for the change of the driving park to be accomplished, the prices should go down, the people to be more serious about the environment and its protection, and patience as several decades will probably be needed for a change like this to be competed.
3. The fuel celled cars are a viable answer to decrease the pollution, as they are not causing any pollution, but instead will stop the process of large emissions of carbon dioxide from the fossil fueled cars. While this method is a good one, it should not be the only, as on its own it can not have the desirable effect, but instead all the major polluters should be included in the process. The industry and the production of energy are one of the major polluters as well, so they will need to follow the example, as if they not, the problem will stay, considering that the industry is constantly growing and the demand for energy is constantly growing too.
