Answer: 30.34m/s
Explanation:
The sum of forces in the y direction 0 = N cos 28 - μN sin28 - mg
Sum of forces in the x direction
mv²/r = N sin 28 + μN cos 28
mv²/r = N(sin 28 + μcos 28)
Thus,
mv²/r = mg [(sin 28 + μ cos 28)/(cos 28 - μ sin 28)]
v²/r = g [(sin 28 + μ cos 28)/(cos 28 - μ sin 28)]
v²/36 = 9.8 [(0.4695 + 0.87*0.8829) - (0.8829 - 0.87*0.4695)]
v²/36 = 9.8 [(0.4695 + 0.7681) / (0.8829 - 0.4085)]
v²/36 = 9.8 (1.2376/0.4744)
v²/36 = 9.8 * 2.6088
v²/36 = 25.57
v² = 920.52
v = 30.34m/s
Answer:
The average speed of the earth in its orbit is 
Explanation:
The average distance between the Earth and the Sun is 
.
The average speed of the earth in its orbit can be found by the next equation :
(1)
Where r is the radius and T is the period.
In this case, the orbit of the Earth can be considered as a circle
(
) instead of an ellipse.
It takes 1 year to the Earth to make one revolution around the Sun. Therefore, its period will be 365.25 days.
Notice that to express the period in terms of seconds, the following is needed:
⇒ 
Then, equation 1 can be used:

When the Moon passes between Sun and Earth, the lunar shadow is seen as a solar eclipse on Earth. When Earth passes directly between Sun and Moon, its shadow creates a lunar eclipse. Lunar eclipses can only happen when the Moon is opposite the Sun in the sky, a monthly occurrence we know as a full Moon.
