Answer:
It is very rare to see a solar eclipse from your home, because the Earth, Sun, and the moon need to align just right. Not everyone in the world can view a solar eclipse, only some area can. A solar eclipse is where the moon blocks out the sun. If you think about it: Let's say you live in Florida, U.S.A. You may see the moon coming in front of the sun, but if you lived in California or sumthin', the moon and the sun wouldn't be aligned to form a solar eclipse. It all depends on location... so it is rare to see one.
Answer:
0.1 s
Explanation:
The net force on the log is F - f = ma where F = force due to winch = 2850 N, f = kinetic frictional force = μmg where μ = coefficient of kinetic friction between log and ground = 0.45, m = mass of log = 300 kg and g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and a = acceleration of log
So F - f = ma
F - μmg = ma
F/m - μg = a
So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have
a = F/m - μg
a = 2850 N/300 kg - 0.45 × 9.8 m/s²
a = 9.5 m/s² - 4.41 m/s²
a = 5.09 m/s²
Since acceleration, a = (v - u)/t where u = initial velocity of log = 0 m/s (since it was a rest before being pulled out of the ditch), v = final velocity of log = 0.5 m/s and t = time taken for the log to reach a speed of 0.5 m/s.
So, making t subject of the formula, we have
t = (v - u)/a
substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have
t = (v - u)/a
t = (0.5 m/s - 0 m/s)/5.09 m/s²
t = 0.5 m/s ÷ 5.09 m/s²
t = 0.098 s
t ≅ 0.1 s
I actually know the answer to this one, you use pennies to find the atomic weight of a penny, it really doesn't have a weight. LOL
