Recently, the media, always trying to make things sound sensational, have started to call totally eclipsed moon "the blood moon.

" Why does the Moon look reddish to us when there is a total lunar eclipse?

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

- One meaning of a "blood moon" is based on its red glow. This blood moon occurs during a total lunar eclipse. During a total lunar eclipse, Earth lines up between the Moon and the Sun. This hides the Moon from the sunlight.

- When this happens, the only light that reaches the Moon's surface is from the edges of the Earth's atmosphere. The air molecules from Earth's atmosphere scatter out most of the blue light. The remaining light reflects onto the Moon's surface with a red glow, making the Moon appear red in the night sky.

Find the angle formed by two forces of 7N and 15N respectively if its result is worth 20N
nadezda [96]
First, you need to make certain assumptions before solving this question. Why? Because there are no information given about the direction of these forces. In such questions as above, ALWAYS make the following assumptions:

1) Take first force, say F_{1}, and assume that it is pointing towards the x-direction.

Let us take the 7N force! By keeping the above assumption in our minds, the force vector would be like:
F_{1} = 7i, where i = Unit vector in the x-direction.

2) Take the second force, say F_{2}, and assume that it is making an angle \alpha with the first force F_{1}.

Let us take the 15N force! By keeping the above assumption in our minds, the forces vector would be like:

F_{2} = (15*cos \alpha)i + (15*sin \alpha )j

Now from simple vector addition, we know that,
F_{R} = F_{1} + F_{2} --- (A)

Where F_{R} = Resultant vector.
NOTE: In equation (A), all forces are in vector notation. Assume that there is an arrow head on top of them.

Let us find F_{1}+F_{2} first!
F_{1}+F_{2} =  7i+(15*cos \alpha)i + (15*sin \alpha )j

=> F_{1}+F_{2} =  (7+15*cos \alpha)i + (15*sin \alpha )j

Now the magnitude of F_{1}+F_{2} is,
| F_{1}+F_{2}| = \sqrt{ (7+ 15*cos \alpha)^{2} +  (15*sin \alpha )^{2}}

=> | F_{1}+F_{2}| = \sqrt{ 49 + 225*(cos \alpha)^{2} + 210*(cos \alpha)+ 255*(sin \alpha )^{2}}

Since (sin \alpha)^{2} + (cos \alpha)^{2} = 1, therefore,

=> | F_{1}+F_{2}| = \sqrt{ 49 + 225 + 210*(cos \alpha)}

Since  | F_{1}+F_{2}| = |F_{R}|, and the magnitude of the resultant force is 20N, therefore,

 |F_{R}| = | F_{1}+F_{2}|
20 = \sqrt{ 49 + 225 + 210*(cos \alpha)}

Take square on both sides,
400 = 49 + 225 + 210*(cos \alpha)
(cos \alpha) =  \frac{3}{5}

\alpha = 53.13^{o}

Ans: Angle formed by the two forces, 7N and 15N, is: 53.13°

A girl is floating in a freshwater lake with her head just above the water. If she weighs 610 N, what is the volume of the subme
Elden [556K]

Answer:

The volume of the submerged part of her body is 0.0622m^{3}

Explanation:

Let's define the buoyant force acting on a submerged object.

In a submerged object acts a buoyant force which can be calculated as :

B=ρ.V.g

Where ''B'' is the buoyant force

Where ''ρ'' is the density of the fluid

Where ''V'' is the submerged volume of the object

Where ''g'' is the acceleration due to gravity

Because the girl is floating we can state that the weight of the girl is equal to the buoyant force.

We can write :

W_{girl}=B (I)

Where ''W'' is weight

⇒ If we consider ρ = 1000\frac{kg}{m^{3}} (water density) and g=9.81\frac{m}{s^{2}} and replacing this values in the equation (I) ⇒

B=W_{girl}

B=610N

ρ.V.g = 610N

1000\frac{kg}{m^{3}}.V.(9.81\frac{m}{s^{2}})=610N (II)

The force unit ''N'' (Newton) is defined as

N=kg.\frac{m}{s^{2}}

Using this in the equation (II) :

(9810\frac{N}{m^{3}}).V =610N

V=\frac{610N}{9810\frac{N}{m^{3}}}

V=0.0622m^{3}

We find that the volume of the submerged part of her body is 0.0622m^{3}
