What is the difference between a total solar eclipse and a partial

1 answer:

5 0

A total solar eclipse is where the moon is completely aligned between the sun and the Earth. It is much more rare.

A partial eclipse is where the moon is in the new moon phase, but is not completely aligned between the Earth and sun. This is because the moon's orbit, relative to Earth, is tilted.

andrey2020 [161]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Force, $F=(-8\ N)i+(6\ N)j$

Position vector, $r=(3i+4j)\ m$

(a) The torque on the particle about the origin is given by :

$\tau=F\times r\\\\\tau=(-8i+6j)\times (3i+4j)\\\\\tau=(-50k)\ N-m$

(b) To find the angle between r and F use dot product formula as :

$F{\cdot} r=|F||r|\ \cos\theta\\\\\cos\theta=\dfrac{F{\cdot} r}{|F| |r|}\\\\\cos\theta=\dfrac{(-8i+6j){\cdot} (3i+4j)}{\sqrt{(-8)^2+6^2} \times \sqrt{3^2+4^2} }\\\\\cos\theta=\dfrac{-24+24}{\sqrt{(-8)^2+6^2} \times \sqrt{3^2+4^2} }\\\\\cos\theta=0\\\\\theta=90^{\circ}$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Shaping will happen if _____.

Pavlova-9 [17]

What is being done in shaping is that it directs and guides the change in one's behavior. Therefore, what will happen when one undergoes shaping is that you encourage a lot of minor behaviors which would add up to one large action. The answer to this would be the first option.

A wooden object (conically shaped) has a diameter of 8cm and height of 14cm. It floats in oil with 6cm of its height above oil l

baherus [9]

Answer:

(a) The density of the object is 316/343 × the density of the oil

(b) The fraction of oil displaced after immersing the object is 0.461 of the oil volume

Explanation:

(a) The volume, V of a cone of height, h and base diameter, D = 2×r is given by the following equation;

$V = \dfrac{\pi r^{2} h}{3}$

The volume of the object is therefore;

$\dfrac{\pi \times 4^{2} \times 14}{3} = 74\tfrac{2}{3}\pi \, cm^3$

Where 6 cm is above the oil level we have;

$\dfrac{\pi \times \left (6 \times \dfrac{4}{14} \right )^{2} \times 6}{3} = 5\tfrac{43}{49}\pi \, cm^3$ above the oil level

Therefore, volume of the oil displaced = $68\tfrac{116}{147}\pi$ cm³ = 216.11 cm³

The density of the object is thus;

$\dfrac{68\tfrac{116}{147}\pi}{ 74\tfrac{2}{3}\pi} \times Density \ of \ the \ oil = \dfrac{316}{343} \right ) \times Density \ of \ the \ oil$

The density of the object = 316/343 × the density of the oil.

(b) The volume of the oil = 2 × Volume of the object = $2 \times 74\tfrac{2}{3}\pi \, cm^3 = 149\tfrac{1}{3}\pi \, cm^3$

The fraction of the volume displaced, x, after immersing the object is given as follows;

$x = \dfrac{68\tfrac{116}{147}\pi}{ 149\tfrac{1}{3}\pi} = \dfrac{158}{343} = 0.461$

The fraction of oil displaced after immersing the object = 0.461 of the volume of the oil
