If the plane of the moon's orbit were the same as the ecliptic plane, there would be a lunar eclipse

Physics
1 answer:
Murrr4er [49]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

An lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth comes in between the Sun and the moon when all the three are aligned in space and the Earth casts its shadow on the phase of the full moon and thus darkens it usually the moon turns into a shade of copper red.

For the eclipse to occur every month the Earth's orbit around the sun must coincide with the moon's orbit around the earth.

It takes about a month for the moon to orbit the Earth and if the plane of the ecliptic orbit is the same as that of the orbit of the moon around the earth then there would be at least two lunar eclipses in a month, one at full moon and the other one fortnightly.

What change occurs to the mass of an object when an unbalanced force is applied to it
strojnjashka [21]
The mass of an object always stays the same since it is really just the amount of matter in an object so no matter the force applied, as long as the object does not lose or gain matter, the object stays the same

A 1300 kg car traveling at 35 mph rear-ends a 1000 kg car traveling 25 mph. Just after the collision (but before the driver’s sl
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer

given,

before collision

mass of car A = m_a = 1300 kg

velocity of car A = v_a  = 35 mph

mass of car B = m_b= 1000 kg

velocity of car B = v_b  = 25 mph

after collision

V_a = 30 mph

V_b = 31.5 mph

Initial momentum

P_1 = m_av_a + m_b v_b

P_1 = 1300 \times 35+ 1000 \times 25

P_1 =70500 Kg.m/s

final momentum

P_2 = m_aV_a + m_b V_b

P_2 = 1300 \times 30+ 1000 \times 31.5

P_2 =70500 Kg.m/s

here  initial momentum is equal to the final momentum of the car.

hence, momentum is conserved in the collision.

Put the following words in order from smallest to largest: atoms, matter, elements
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

Matter, atoms, elements.

Explanation:

Matter is just a name for anything that has mass and takes up space. Therefore, atoms are larger than matter. Atoms are the smallest bits of an element that <em>are</em><em> </em><em>still</em><em> </em><em>that</em><em> </em><em>element</em>, so, elements would be bigger than the atoms that come together to create them!

Hope this helps!

What is the difference between Weight and Mass?<br>Please give a fair amount of detail!
Sidana [21]
The <em>mass</em> of an object is a measure of how much stuff it's made of.  So it's
a property of the object, like the object's length or color.  It doesn't depend on
where the object is located right now, or on what else is around it..

The <em>weight</em> of an object is the measure of the gravitational force between it
and something else.  The strength of the force depends on the size of both
masses, and also on how far apart they are.  So the weight does depend on
where the object is located right now, and on what else is around it.

I think that sums it up fairly well.
