Total solar eclipses occur on a regular and predictable basis. One that could be viewed in parts of the United States occurred o

n March 7, 1970. The saros cycle is a period of 18 years, 11 1 3 days, and solar eclipses occur according to this cycle. For the purposes of this exercise, we ignore leap years and assume that a year is exactly 365 days. Because the saros cycle is not a whole number of days, but instead is one-third of a day longer than a day, at the end of the saros cycle, Earth will have rotated one-third revolution beyond its location at the beginning of the cycle. Thus, if a solar eclipse is viewable at a certain location, the next solar eclipse will not be. How long after March 7, 1970, will a solar eclipse again be viewable from the United States?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The previous solar eclipse occured on March 7 , 1970 .

saros cycle has duration of 18 years , 11 + 1/3 days

So the earth goes 1 / 3 of its daily rotation beyond its previous location in the next solar eclipse on the earth . In order that we get solar eclipse on the same point on the earth , we shall have to wait for third solar eclipse

So total period of wait = 18 x 3 years + 11 x 3 + 1 = 54 years and 34 days

Date of next solar eclipse on the same spot = 1970 + 54 = 2024

7 th March + 34 days = April 10

likely date = April 10 , 2024 .

On a coordinate plane, quadrilateral Q R S T has points (0, 2), (negative 4, 0), (0, negative 3), and (4, 0).
Afina-wow [57]

By applying the definitions of <em>rigid</em> transformation ((x, y) → (0.5 · x, 0.5 · y)) and dilation, we conclude that the coordinates of Q'(x, y) are (0.1).

<h3>How to apply rigid transformations on a point</h3>

Herein we must apply a rigid transformation into a given point to determine an image. <em>Rigid</em> transformations are transformations applied on a <em>geometric</em> locus such that <em>Euclidean</em> distance is conserved. Dilations are a kind of <em>rigid</em> transformations such that:

(x, y) → (k · x, k · y), for k > 0

If we know that Q(x, y) = (0, 2) and k = 0.5, then the coordinates of Q' are:

Q'(x, y) = (0.5 · 0, 0.5 · 2)

Q'(x, y) = (0, 1)

By applying the definitions of <em>rigid</em> transformation ((x, y) → (0.5 · x, 0.5 · y)) and dilation, we conclude that the coordinates of Q'(x, y) are (0.1).
