Answer: The Earth lies between the Sun and the Moon.

Explanation:

During a total lunar eclipse, the Sun, the Earth and the moon align in such a way that the earth blocks the sunlight to fall on moon and moon passes through Earth's shadow.

The arrangement is: Sun then Earth then Moon.

Total lunar eclipse does not occur on every full moon night because the there is a slight difference in the alignment of orbits.

Lunar eclipses are governed by the same principle as solar eclipses: In this case however, the Earth 'slides itself' between the Moon and the Sun.

A skydiver prepares to jump out of a plane. Explain how gravity and air resistance will affect the motion of the skydiver before

ahrayia [7]

Before the skydiver opens the parachute, his velocity would be increasing greatly as much as 9.8 m/s². Opening the parachute would increase the surface area to which air may cause resistance. The skydiver then reaches his terminal velocity.

Four charges are on the four corners of a square. Q1 = +5μC, Q2 = -10μC, Q3 = +5μC, Q4 = -10μC. The side length of the square is

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Explanation:

Electric field due to a point charge Q at a point at distance d is given by the relation

E = $\frac{K\times Q}{d^2}$

Since Q1 and Q2 are of the same magnitude and distance , so they will create eletric field of same magnitude. Similarly field due to rest of the charges will also be same.

The charges are situated on the corners of a square in such a way that

equal charges of Q1 and Q3 are situated on the diametrically opposite corners of the square. Fields due to these two charges will be equal and opposite in direction. Therefore net field due to these two charges will be zero.

On the same ground, we can say that field due to Q2 and Q4 at the centre will be equal and opposite and therefore they will cancel out each other. Net field at the centre will be zero

Overall, net field due to all the four charges will be zero

If you wanted to produce more power,what could you do to maximize power

PSYCHO15rus [73]

In physics, power is defined as energy per unit time. You will also hear it described as work per unit time. The standard unit of measure for power is the watt, where a watt is defined as joules (energy) per second (time). This is expressed as a fraction as J/s. If you wanted to increase the power in any operation, you can either increase the energy (more joules) or reduce the time (fewer seconds).

If the airman had a mass of 80 kg, find the magnitude of the air drag acting on him when he reached terminal velocity of 54 m/s

Vlad1618 [11]

The magnitude of the air drag is 784 N

Explanation:

An object falling down reaches the terminal velocity when the magnitude of the air drag acting on it becomes equal to the weight of the object. Mathematically, this condition can be written as:

$F_D = mg$
