When the shadow of the moon appears on earths surface what is occuring?

1 answer:

6 0

The moon surface is visible to an observer on earth due to the gravitational force that attracts the moon to the earth. The more massive the body is, the more the smaller body is attracted to the larger body. We can only see the side of the moon due to the speed at which the moon rotates.

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

A general wave function is given by:

$f(x,t)=Acos(kx-\omega t)$

A: amplitude of the wave = 0.075m

k: wave number

w: angular frequency

a) You use the following expressions for the calculation of k, w, T and λ:

$\omega = 2\pi f=2\pi (2.00Hz)=12.56\frac{rad}{s}$

$k=\frac{\omega}{v}=\frac{12.56\frac{rad}{s}}{12.0\frac{m}{s}}=1.047\ m^{-1}$

$T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{2.00Hz}=0.5s\\\\\lambda=\frac{2\pi}{k}=\frac{2\pi}{1.047m^{-1}}=6m$

b) Hence, the wave function is:

$f(x,t)=0.075m\ cos((1.047m^{-1})x-(12.56\frac{rad}{s})t)$

c) for x=3m you have:

$f(3,t)=0.075cos(1.047*3-12.56t)$

d) the speed of the medium:

$\frac{df}{dt}=\omega Acos(kx-\omega t)\\\\\frac{df}{dt}=(12.56)(1.047)cos(1.047x-12.56t)$

you can see the velocity of the medium for example for x = 0:

$v=\frac{df}{dt}=13.15cos(12.56t)$

An object is placed to the left of a convex mirror, such that the object-to-image distance is 140 cm.

labwork [276]

Answer:

The focal length of the mirror is 52.5 cm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Object to Image distance d = 140 cm

Image distance v= 35 cm

We need to calculate the object distance

$u = d-v$

$u = 140-35=105\ cm$

We need to calculate the focal length

Using formula of mirror

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{u}+\dfrac{1}{v}$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{-105}+\dfrac{1}{35}$

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{2}{105}$

$f=52.5\ cm$

Hence, The focal length of the mirror is 52.5 cm.

matrenka [14]

Answer:

petroleum

Explanation:

Petroleum is a gas that we use that just goes into the air whilst water can be recycled and purified, wind never ever goes away, and solar power can be converted into energy.
