What is a lunar eclipse 2 paragraph

1 answer:

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.

A sphere of volume 1.20×10−3m3 hangs from a cable. When the sphere is completely submerged in water, the tension in the cable is

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

B = 62.9 N

Explanation:

This is an exercise on Archimedes' principle, where the thrust force equals the weight of the liquid

B = ρ g V

write the equilibrium equation

T + B -W = 0

B = W- T (1)

use the density to write the weight

ρ = m / V

m = ρ V

W = ρ g V

substitute in 1

B = m g -T

B = $\rho_{body}$ g V - T

To finish the calculation, the density of the material must be known, suppose it is steel \rho_{body} = 7850 kg / m³

calculate

B = 7850 9.8 1.20 10⁻³ - 29.4

B = 92.3 - 29.4

B = 62.9 N

You are given a vector in the xy plane that has a magnitude of 90.0 units and a y component of -61.0 units. A) Assuming the x co

kvasek [131]

Answer:

A) magnitude = sqrrt(147.1^2 + 61^2) = 159.2 units

B)22.5° (clockwise form -ve X axis)

Explanation:

given vector = V1 = x i - 60 j

magnitude of V1 = 90

x - component can be found out by resultant formula

90^2 = x^2 + (-60)^2

x = 67.08 = 67.1 units (3sf)

FOR THE VECTOR 80 UNITS IN -VE X DIRECTION

The X component is -80-------(1)

The Y component is 0 ---------(2)

For the x- component of new added vector:

(1)----------- x + 67.1 = -80

x = -147.1 = -147.1

For the y- component of new added vector:

(2)---------- y - 61 = 0

y = 61.0 (3sf)

the new added vector is = -147.1 i + 61 j

magnitude = sqrrt(147.1^2 + 61^2) = 159.2 units

direction = arctan (61 / 147.1)

= 22.5° (clockwise form -ve X axis)

elena55 [62]

Answer:

Final mass=0.89kg

Final pressure=5.6bar

Explanation:

To find mass,m=v/v1

But v1=vf + x(vg-vf)

Vf= 0.001093m^3/kg

Vg= 0.3748m^3/kg

V1= 0.001093+0.5(0.3748-0.001093)

V1= 0.225m^3/kg

M= 0.20/0.225 =0.89kg

Final pressure will be:

V/V1= P/P1

Cross multiply

VP1=V1P

P1= 0.225×5/0.2

P1=:5.6 bar

4. Una cuerda de acero de piano mide 1.60 m de longitud y 0.20 cm de diámetro. ¿Cuál es la tensión en la cuerda si se estira 0.2

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

$1030.83\ \text{N}$

Explanation:

$\Delta L$ = Cambio en la longitud de la cuerda = 0.25 cm

T = tensión en cuerda

A = Área de la cadena = $\dfrac{\pi}{4}d^2$

d = Diámetro de la cuerda = 0.2 cm

L = Longitud original de la cuerda = 1.6 m

El cambio de longitud de una cuerda viene dado por

$\Delta L=\dfrac{TL}{AE}\\\Rightarrow T=\dfrac{\Delta LAE}{L}\\\Rightarrow T=\dfrac{0.25\times 10^{-2}\times \dfrac{\pi}{4}(0.2\times 10^{-2})^2\times 210\times 10^9}{1.6}\\\Rightarrow T=1030.84\ \text{N}$

La tensión en la cuerda es $1030.84\ \text{N}$ .
