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

Physics

artcher [175]3 years ago

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.

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

T = 1.1285 10⁻² day

Explanation:

For this exercise the forces in the premiere are internal, so the angular momentum is conserved

         L₀ = I₀ w₀

         L  = I w

         L₀ = L

         I₀ w₀ = I w

Angular velocity and period are related

         w₀ = 2π / T₀

         w = 2π  / T

         

The moment of inertia of a sphere is

       I₀ = 2/5 M R²

       I = 2/5 m r²

If we assume that the mass of the star does not change in the transformation

We substitute

         2/5 M R² 2π/T₀ = 2/5 M r² 2π/ T

          R² /T₀ = r² / T

          T = (r / R)² T₀

          T = (6.1 / 2.0 104) 37

          T = 1.1285 10⁻² day

In a pig-calling contest, a caller produces a sound with an intensity level of 60 db. how many such callers would be required to
zloy xaker [14]

The imaginary second level is 60 dB more intense than the real level of the caller.

60 dB means a multiplication of  10⁶  = <em>1 million.</em>

That's how many equally-talented callers it would take to be 60 dB louder than him.

At what water depth will a deep-water wave with a wavelength of 40 meters begin to "feel bottom"? 5 meters 15 meters 20 meters 1
ella [17]
The answer is 20 meters would be the water depth started to feel bottom. This is half of the wavelength. The reason behind this is the wave travels half or the partial of the wavelength underneath the surface. For that reason that is where the wave would be starting to feel the ground.

Johannes Kepler used math to show that the planets move in perfect circles around the sun.
svet-max [94.6K]
Kepler actually showed that the planets move around the sun in ellipses, not circles. So the answer is false.
