Do you think an observer on another planet in the solar system might see eclipses

Physics

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Eclipses: Eclipses are also known as game of shadows where one object comes between the star(light source) and another object in a straight line such that the shadow of one object falls on other object. This can occur when the apparent size of the star and the object is almost same.

Talking about the Earth, the geometry is such that the Moon and the Sun are of same apparent size as seen from the Earth. Thus Lunar and Solar eclipse can be seen from the Earth. If we were to go on any other planet the same phenomenon can be seen provided the apparent size of moon and the Sun from that planet is same.

We have seen and recorded many such eclipses on Jupiter. These are from the perspective of Earth. When the moons of Jupiter comes exactly between the Sun and Jupiter the shadow of moon will fall on Jupiter. The places where the shadow falls, one will see a solar eclipse.

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

m1(v1) + m2(v2)

Opposite turns the plus to subtraction.

A helium-filled balloon occupies a volume of 15 cubic meters at sea level. the balloon is released and raises to a point in the
Elena L [17]

According to Boyle’s law, For a fixed amount of an ideal gas kept at a fixed temperature, P (pressure) and V (volume) are inversely proportional.

Therefore,

P_{1} V_{1} =P_{2} V_{2}

Given P_{1} = 1 atm , V_{1} = 15 \ cubic \ meter and P_{2} = 0.75\ atm.

Thus,

V_{2} = \frac{P_{1}\times V_{1}  }{ P_{2} } = \frac{1\times 15}{0.75} =20 m^3
