What effect or effects would be most significant if the Moon's orbital plane were exactly the same as the ecliptic plane?

Physics

Answer:

c. Solar eclipses would be much more frequent.

Explanation:

The <u>ecliptic plane</u> is the apparent orbit that the sun describes around the earth (although it is the earth that orbits the sun), is the path the sun follows in earth's sky.

A <u>solar eclipse</u> occurs when the moon gets between the earth and the sun, so a shadow is cast on the earth because the light from the sun is blocked.

The reason why solar eclipses are not very frequent is because the moon's orbital plane is not in the same plane as the orbit of the earth around the sun, but rather that it is somewhat inclined with respect to it.

So <u>if both orbits were aligned, the moon would interpose between the sun and the earth more frequently, producing more solar eclipses.</u>

So, if the moon's orbital plane were exacly the same as the ecliptic plane solar eclipses would be more frequent.

the answer is: c.

The correct answer is D He could pull the mass down farther.

Amplitude, is the maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position. So to increase the amplitude the spring should be pulled down further which can increase the amplitude.

Which statement describes the kinetic energy of a particle?
worty [1.4K]
Kinetic energy has nothing to do with anything other than motion of the particle.
When a particle with velocity v collides another particle(suppose it is at rest for simplication), assuming that there is perfectly elastic collision between them, the velocity of particle which was at rest becomes mv/M ( assuming mass of particle in motion to be m and at rest to be M) from convervation of linear momentum. And all this transfer of energy happens in a fraction of seconds which is not visible to naked eyes.

Hence 1st option is correct!

If blue light hits a red filter, what kind of light comes through the filter?
kotegsom [21]
It can be either C or B

Reasons it can be C: Red and Blue together(if I'm correct in art) is the combined color of two of the 3 primary colors to get a purple/violet color and if said filter is see through or just too dense for the light to even penetrate the said filter(in theory) but all in all purple is the answer with the two primary colors blue and red.

But also, it depends on what kind of filter it is, if the filter is like a screen filter then it will just come out in blue with the slightly different colors of again purple but in a darker tone then the actual eye can see.

Or it can be just C again cause the filter can be a film but that's a bit too far and to complex for right now so I believe it is B
