What is a partial and total lunar eclipse?

Physics
1 answer:
Minchanka [31]2 years ago
7 0

Partial Lunar Eclipse:

A partial lunar eclipse is when the earth gets between the Sun and Moon. However, all three bodies are not in alignment meaning we are able to see some more like part of the moon's surface as it moves in route of the Earth's shadow.

Total Lunar Eclipse:

The three celestial bodies are perfectly aligned which allows for the earth to completely block the sun's rays from hitting/reaching the moon. The sun is positions is in back of the Earth which then causes the shadow of the earth to be cast on the Moon covering the moon completely. When that happens you get the phenomenon called a total lunar eclipse.

Hopefully this helped and good luck.

Find the length (in m) of an organ pipe closed at one end that produces a fundamental frequency of 494 Hz when air temperature i
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

0.173 m.

Explanation:

The fundamental frequency of a closed pipe is given as

fc = v/4l .................. Equation 1

Where fc = fundamental frequency of a closed pipe, v = speed of sound  l = length of the pipe.

Making l the subject of the equation,

l = v/4fc ................ Equation 2

also

v = 331.5×0.6T ................. Equation 3

Where T = temperature in °C, T = 18.0 °c

Substitute into equation 3

v = 331.5+0.6(18)

v = 331.5+10.8

v = 342.3 m/s.

Also given: fc = 494 Hz,

Substitute into equation 2

l = 342.3/(4×494)

l = 342.3/1976

l =0.173 m.

Hence the length of the organ pipe = 0.173 m.

An 8.00- W resistor is dissipating 100 watts. What are the current through it and the difference of potential across it?
hjlf

Answer:

I= 3.5 amps

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

rating of resistor R= 8 ohms

power P= 100W

Required

The current I

Step two

Yet this power is also given by

P = I^2R

make I subject of the formula we have

I= \sqrt{\frac{P}{R} }

substitute

I= \sqrt{\frac{100}{8} }\\\\I=\sqrt{12.5}\\\\I= 3.5 amps

A spacecraft is moving past the earth at a constant speed of 0.60 times the speed of light. The astronaut measures the time inte
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

the time interval that an earth observer measures is 4 seconds

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

speed of the spacecraft as it moves past the is 0.6 times the speed of light

we know that speed of light c = 3 × 10⁸ m/s

so speed of spacecraft v = 0.6 × c = 0.6c

time interval between ticks of the spacecraft clock Δt₀ = 3.2 seconds

Now, from time dilation;

t = Δt₀ / √( 1 - ( v² / c² ) )

t = Δt₀ / √( 1 - ( v/c )² )

we substitute

t = 3.2 / √( 1 - ( 0.6c / c )² )

t = 3.2 / √( 1 - ( 0.6 )² )

t = 3.2 / √( 1 - 0.36 )

t = 3.2 / √0.64

t = 3.2 / 0.8

t = 4 seconds

Therefore, the time interval that an earth observer measures is 4 seconds
