Answer:

D

Explanation:

The Moon passes slightly above or below the line between the Sun and the Earth because of its tilted orbit. I also had it for my USA Test Prep

Because the tip of the moon's shadow ... the area of "totality" ... is never more than a couple hundred miles across, It never covers a single place for more than 7 minutes, and can never stay on the Earth's surface for more than a few hours altogether during one eclipse.

If you're not inside that small area, you don't see a total eclipse.

The moon orbits the earth at a distance of 3.85 x 10^8 m. Assume that this distance is between the centers of the earth and the
Inga [223]

Answer:

27.5 days

0.92 month

Explanation:

r = radius of the orbit of moon around the earth = 3.85\times10^{8} m

M = Mass of earth = 5.98\times10^{24} m

T = Time period of moon's motion

According to Kepler's third law, Time period is related to radius of orbit as

T^{2} = \frac{4\pi ^{2} r^{3}  }{GM}

inserting the values, we get

T^{2} = \frac{4(3.14)^{2} (3.85\times10^{8})^{3}  }{(6.67\times10^{-11})(5.98\times10^{24})}\\T = 2.3754\times10^{6} sec

we know that

1 day = 24 hours = 24 x 3600 sec = 86400 s

T = 2.3754\times10^{6} sec \frac{1 day}{86400 sec} \\T = 27.5 days

1 month = 30 days

T = 27.5 days \frac{1 month}{30 days} \\T = 0.92 month

Which statement best describes a device that has a high energy efficiency? Its ratio of energy absorbed to energy released is hi
Stels [109]

Answer:

It wastes little energy

Explanation:

  • The efficiency of a machine refers to the ratio of work output to the work input as a percentage.
  • The efficiency of most machines is less than 100% because some work is lost  due to friction and heat.
  • Therefore, a machine with high efficiency has less wastage of energy due to factors such as friction of the moving parts. Conversely, low efficiency means there is more wastage of energy.

A small piece of Styrofoam packing material is dropped from a height of 1.90 m above the ground. Until it reaches terminal speed
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

Explanation:

If a small piece of Styrofoam packing material is dropped from a height of 1.90 m above the ground and reaches a terminal speed after falling 0.400m, the Change in distance will be 1.90m - 0.400 = 1.50m

If it takes 5.4secs fo r the Styrofoam to reach the ground, the terminal velocity will be expressed as;

Vt = change in distance/time

Vt = 1.5m/5.4s

Vt = 0.28m/s

Note that the Styrofoam reaches its final velocity when the acceleration is zero.

To get the constant value B from the equation a = g-Bv

a = 0m/s²

g = 9.81m/s²

v = 0.28m/s

Substituting the parameters into the formula.

0 = 9.81-0.28B

-9.81 = -0.28B

Divide both sides by -0.28

B = -9.81/-0.28

B = 35.04

b) at t = 0sec, the initial terminal velocity is also zero.

Substituting v = 0 into the equation to get the acceleration.

a = g-Bv

a = g-B(0)

a = g

Hence the acceleration at t =0s is equal to the acceleration due to gravity which is 9.81m/s²

c) Given speed v = 0.150m/s

g = 9.81m/s²

B = 35.04

Substituting the given data into the equation a = g-Bv

a = 9.81-35.04(0.15)

a = 9.81 - 5.26

a = 4.55m/s²
