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.

A parallel plate capacitor with air between the plates has a potential difference of 71.0 V. Determine the potential difference
Gwar [14]

Answer:

15.8 V

Explanation:

The relationship between capacitance and potential difference across a capacitor is:

q=CV

where

q is the charge stored on the capacitor

C is the capacitance

V is the potential difference

Here we call C and V the initial capacitance and potential difference across the capacitor, so that the initial charge stored is q.

Later, a dielectric material is inserted between the two plates, so the capacitance changes according to

C'=kC

where k is the dielectric constant of the material. As a result, the potential difference will change (V'). Since the charge stored by the capacitor remains constant,

q=C'V'

So we can combine the two equations:

CV=CV'\\CV=(kC)V'\\V'=\frac{V}{k}

and since we have

V = 71.0 V

k = 4.50

We find the new potential difference:

V'=\frac{71.0}{4.50}=15.8 V

Why is there an upward force on objects in water?
Paraphin [41]
If you'r referring to some objects, it means that the mass of the object is less than the water so it floats. If the mass of an object is greater than the mass of the water, it will sink. Compare it to a balloon, helium makes it rise, while normal air makes it sink.

A wire with resistance R is connected to the terminals of a 6.0 V battery. What is the potential difference between the ends of
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Potential difference = 6.0 V

I for 1.0Ω = 6 A

I for 2.0Ω = 3 A

I for 3.0Ω = 2 A

Explanation:

Potential difference (ΔV) = Current (I) x Resistance (R)

The potential difference is constant and equals 6.0 V, hence;

I = ΔV/R

When R = 1.0, I =6/1 = 6 amperes

When R = 2.0, I = 6/2 = 3 amperes

When R = 3.0, I = 6/3 = 2 amperes

<em>The potential difference is 6.0 V and the current is 6, 3, and 2 amperes for a resistance of 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0Ω respectively.</em>
