What causes a solar eclipse? Choose two answers

1 answer:

4 0

A solar eclipse occurs when the moon gets between Earth and the sun, and the moon casts a shadow over Earth. A solar eclipse can only take place at the phase of new moon, when the moon passes directly between the sun and Earth and its shadows fall upon Earth's surface

If a cart of a roller coaster has a mass of 250kg and is at a height of 14 meters. What is the cart's potential energy?

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

3430000 J

Explanation:

The formula for potential energy is PE=mgh.

M being the mass, g being the force of gravity, and h being the height.

First thing you want to do is convert 250 kg to g (grams).

From there you get 25000g and you have to multiply that by 14m and 9.8m/s^2 (the force of gravity is constant, at least on earth).

Find the angle for the third-order maximum for 591 nm wavelength light falling on a diffraction grating having 1460 lines per ce

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

15.32°

Explanation:

We have given the wavelength $\lambda =591nm=591\times 10^{-9}m$

Diffraction grating is 1460 lines per cm

So $d=\frac{10^{-2}}{1460}=6.71\times 10^{-6}m$ (as 1 m=100 cm )

For maximum diffraction

$dsin\Theta =m\lambda$ here m is order of diffraction

So $6.71\times 10^{-6}sin\Theta =3\times 591\times 10^{-9}$

$sin\Theta =0.264$

$\Theta =15.32^{\circ}$

A piece of wire 29 m long is cut into two pieces. One piece is bent into a square and the other is bent into an equilateral tria

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Total length of the wire is 29 m.

Let the length of one piece is d and of another piece is 29 - d.

Let d is used to make a square.

And 29 - d is used to make an equilateral triangle.

(a)

Area of square = d²

Area of equilateral triangle = √3(29 - d)²/4

Total area,

$A = d^{2}+\frac{\sqrt3}{4}\left ( 29-d \right )^{2}$

Differentiate both sides with respect to d.

$\frac{dA}{dt}=2d- \frac{\sqrt3}{4}\times 2(29-d)$

For maxima and minima, dA/dt = 0

d = 8.76 m

Differentiate again we get the

$\frac{d^{2}A}{dt^{2}}= + ve$

(a) So, the area is maximum when the side of square is 29 m

(b) so, the area is minimum when the side of square is 8.76 m
