What is a partial and total lunar eclipse?

Physics

Minchanka [31]2 years ago

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.

What’s contact force ?
kodGreya [7K]

Explanation:

Contact force is any force that requires contact.  An object that exerts a force on another object by touching it is exerting a contact force.  Examples of contact force are friction and normal force.

Examples of a non-contact force are gravity and magnetism.

How much work did the movers do (horizontally) pushing a 41.0-kg crate 10.6 m across a rough floor without acceleration, if the
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

The required work done is 2555.448~J

Explanation:

Consider 'F' is the applied force on the crate and 'f' be the force created by friction. According to the figure if '\mu_{k}' be the coefficient of friction, then

f = \mu_{k} \times N = \mu_{k} \times Mg

where 'M', 'N' and 'g' are the mass of the crate, the normal force aced upon the block and the acceleration due to gravity respectively.

Since the application of force by the movers does not create any acceleration to the block, we can write

F = f = \mu_{k} \times M \times g = 0.6 \times 41~Kg~ \times 9.8~m~s^{-2} = 241.08~N

So the work done (W) in moving the crate by a distance s = 10.6 m is

W = F \times s = 241.08~N \times 10.6~m = 2555.448 J
