What is a lunar eclipse 2 paragraph

Physics
1 answer:
konstantin123 [22]3 years ago
5 0

A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes directly behind Earth and into its shadow. This can occur only when the Sun, Earth, and the Moon are aligned (in syzygy) exactly or very closely so, with the planet in between. Hence, a lunar eclipse can occur only on the night of a full moon. The type and length of an eclipse depend on the Moon's proximity to either node of its orbit.

During a total lunar eclipse, Earth completely blocks direct sunlight from reaching the Moon. The only light reflected from the lunar surface has been refracted by Earth's atmosphere. This light appears reddish for the same reason that a sunset or sunrise does: the Rayleigh scattering of bluer light. Due to this reddish color, a totally eclipsed Moon is sometimes called a blood moon.

Two wooden crates rest on top of one another. The smaller top crate has a mass of m1 = 25 kg and the larger bottom crate has a m
faust18 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the bigger crate be in touch with the ground which is friction less. In the first case both m₁ and m₂ will move with common acceleration because m₁ is not sliding over m₂.

1 ) Common acceleration a = force / total mass

= 234 / ( 25 +91 )

= 2.017 m s⁻².

2 ) Force on m₁ accelerating it , which is nothing but friction force on it by m₂

= mass x acceleration

= 25 x 2.017

= 50.425 N

The same force will be applied by m₁ on m₂ as friction force which will act in opposite direction.

3 ) Maximum friction force that is possible between m₁ and m₂

= μ_s m₁g

= .79 x 25 x 9.8

= 193.55 N

Acceleration of m₁

= 193 .55 / 25

= 7.742 m s⁻²

This is the common acceleration in case of maximum tension required

So tension in rope

= ( 25 +91 ) x 7.742

= 898 N

4 ) In case of upper crate sliding on m₂ , maximum friction force on m₁

=  μ_k m₁g

= .62 x 25 x 9.8

= 151.9 N

Acceleration of m₁

= 151.9 / 25

= 6.076 m s⁻².

. An object has a position given by ~r(t) = [3.0 m − (4.00 m/s)t]ˆı + [6.0 m − (8.00 m/s2 )t 2 ]ˆ , where all quantities are in
kupik [55]

Answer:

(c) 16 m/s²

Explanation:

The position is r(t) = [3.0 \text{ m} - (4.00 \text{ m/s})t]\hat{i} + [6.0 \text{m} - (8.00 \text{ m/s}^2 )t^2 ]\hat{j}.

The velocity is the first time-derivative of <em>r(t).</em>

<em />v(t) = \dfrac{d}{dt}r(t) = -4.00\,\hat{i} -16t\,\hat{j}<em />

The acceleration is the first time-derivative of the velocity.

a(t) = \dfrac{d}{dt} v(t) = -16\hat{j}

Since <em>a(t)</em> does not have the variable <em>t</em>, it is constant. Hence, at any time,

a = -16\hat{j}

Its magnitude is 16 m/s².

Which of the following types of technologies has best helped scientists to study very high-energy objects in outer space, such a
erica [24]

Very high-energy objects and events spit out very high-energy photons, so the instrument you need in order to detect them is the       X-ray telescope. <em>(C)  </em>

Inconveniently, X-ray telescopes only work when they're up in orbit, because X-rays get seriously soaked up in Earth's atmosphere, and most of them never make it down to the surface ... (lucky for us !) .

A lithium atom has three protons, three neutrons, and three electrons. What is the overall charge on this atom?
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

0

Explanation:

The overall charge on this atom is 0.

  To find the charge on an atom;

           charge  = number of protons - number of electrons.

Note:

  • Protons are the positively charged particles in an atom
  • Electrons are the negatively charged particles in an atom
  • Neutrons carries no charges on them.

Since the atom is made up of equal number of protons and electrons, the charge on it is 0.

If the number of electrons is more, the atom will be negatively charge but if the number of protons is more, it will be positively charged.
