A solar eclipse will be visible over a wide area of the north polar region
on Friday, March 20.
England is not in the path of totality, but it's close enough so that a large
part of the sun will be covered, and it will be a spectacular sight.
For Londoners, the eclipse begins Friday morning at 8:25 AM,when the
moon just begins to eat away at the sun's edge. It advances slowly, as more
and more of the sun disappears, and reaches maximum at 9:31 AM. Then
the obscured part of the sun begins to shrink, and the complete disk is
restored by the end of the eclipse at 10:41AM, after a period of 2 hours
16 minutes during which part of the sun appears to be missing.
The catch in observing the eclipse is:
<em><u>YOU MUST NOT LOOK AT THE SUN</u></em>.
Staring at the sun for a period of time can cause permanent damage to
your vision, even though <em><u>you don't feel it while it's happening</u></em>.
This is not a useful place to try and give you complete instructions or
suggestions for observing the sun over a period of hours. Please look
in your local newspaper, or search online for phrases like "safe eclipse
viewing".
Answer:
lacceleration is given by
a=F/m
With force acting on the object remained constant ,the acceleration is inversly proportional to mass of the object i.e with increase in mass =>acceleration decreases and with decrease in mass => acceleration increases.
a)
acceleration decreases
b)
acceleration increase
Answer:
Genetics is a branch of biology that studies the inheritance of physical and behavioural characteristics of living things, and how these traits are passed down through generations. Geneticists study genes and the science of heredity (inherited traits passed down through generations).
Answer:
car is moving away its direction is negative.
the speed must also be negative.
speed this distance decreases the acceleration is negative and if the speed is increasing the acceleration is positive.
Explanation:
In the exercise they indicate that the direction to the motion sensor is positive, as they indicate that the car is moving away its direction is negative.
The speed of the car is
v = (x₂-x₁) / t
As the positions are negative, and the car moves away the speed must also be negative.
The analysis for acceleration must be very careful if the speed this distance decreases the acceleration is negative and if the speed is increasing the acceleration is positive.
The equation to be used here is the trajectory of a projectile as written below:
y = xtanθ +/- gx²/2v²(cosθ)²
where
y is the vertical distance
x is the horizontal distance
θ is the angle of trajectory or launch angle
g is 9.81 m/s²
v is the initial velcity
Since the angle is below horizontal, let's use the minus equation. Substituting the values:
- 0.8 m = xtan15° - (9.81 m/s²)x²/2(4.8 m/s)²(cos15°)²
Solving for x,
x = 2.549 m
However, we only take half of this distance because it was specified that the distance asked before bouncing. Hence, the horizontal distance is equal to 1.27 m.
