What is a lunar eclipse?

Moon eclipse is when the moon interposes between the sun and behind the Earth. The moon passes behind the Earth into its umbra and not viceversa! This is possible when the three of them are ALIGNED (in syzygy). In Romania, there was such eclipse that could be seen at an October night last year.

A lunar eclipse is basically when the earth passes between the moon and sun, causing the moon to appear darkened. Also, unlike the solar eclipse, the lunar eclipse occurs during the day.

Two stones are launched from the top of a tall building. One stoneis thrown in a direction 30.0^\circ above the horizontal with

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

Part A)

t(1) > t(2), the stone thrown 30 above the horizontal spends more time in the air.

Part B)

x(f1) > x(f2), the first stone will land farther away from the building.

Explanation:

Part A)

Let's use the parabolic motion equation to solve it. Let's define the variables:

y(i) is the initial height, it is a constant.
y(f) is the final height, in our case is 0
v(i) is the initial velocity (v(i)=16 m/s)
θ1 is the first angle, 30°
θ2 is the first angle, -30°

For the first stone

$y_{f1}=y_{i1}+v*sin(\theta_{1})t_{1}-0.5gt_{1}^{2}$

$0=y_{i1}+16*sin(30)t_{1}-0.5*9.81*t_{1}^{2}$

$0=y_{i1}+8t_{1}-4.905*t_{1}^{2}$ (1)

For the second stone

$0=y_{i2}+16*sin(-30)t_{2}-4.905t_{2}^{2}$

$0=y_{i2}-8t_{2}-4.905t_{2}^{2}$ (2)

If we solve the equation (1) we will have:

$t_{1}=\frac{-8\pm \sqrt{64+19.62*y_{i}}}{-9.81}$

We can do the same procedure for the equation (2)

$t_{1}=\frac{8\pm \sqrt{64+19.62*y_{i}}}{-9.81}$

We can analyze each solution to see which one spends more time in the air.

It is easy to see that the value inside the square root of each equation is always greater than 8, assuming that the height of the building is > 0. Now, to get positive values of t(1) and t(2) we need to take the negative option of the square root.

Therefore, t(1) > t(2), it means that the stone thrown 30 above the horizontal spends more time in the air.

Part B)

We can use the equation of the horizontal position here.

First stone

$x_{f1}=x_{i1}+vcos(30)t_{1}$

$x_{f1}=0+13.86*t_{1}$

$x_{f1}=13.86*t_{1}$

Second stone

$x_{2}=x_{i2}+vcos(-30)t_{2}$

$x_{1}=0+13.86*t_{1}$

$x_{1}=13.86*t_{2}$

Knowing that t(1) > t(2) then x(f1) > x(f2)

Therefore, the first stone will land farther away from the building.

They land at different points at different times.

I hope it helps you!

A student on her way to school walks eastward in a straight line 20.0 meters towards the bus stop, but realizes she dropped her

larisa [96]

Answer:

Total displacement will be 47 meter

Total distance will be 83 meters

Explanation:

We have given that first the student go eastward towards bus stop 20 meters

But he realizes that she dropped his physics notebook and so h=she turns back along the same way up to 18 meters

So displacement = 20-18 = 2 meters

And he travel 45 meters in east along the bus stop so total displacement = 45+2 = 47 meters

Total distance traveled by the student = 20+18+45 = 83 meters

A basketball leaves a player's hands at a height of 2.00 m above the floor. The basket is 3.05 m above the floor. The player lik

shutvik [7]

Answer:(10.69, 11.436)

Explanation:

Given

initial height of ball is 2 m

height of basket is 3.05 m

Launching angle $=40^{\circ}$

$x =12\pm 0.27$

y=1.05

equation of trajectory of ball is given by

$y=xtan\theta -\frac{gx^2}{2u^2cos^2\theta }$

for x=12.27

$1.05=12.27\times tan40-\frac{g12.27^2}{2u^2cos^{2}40 }$

u=10.69

for x=11.73

$1.05=11.73\times tan40-\frac{g11.73^2}{2u^2cos^{2}40 }$

u=11.436 m/s

Thus range of speed is (10.69, 11.436)

Which has the most momentum?

boyakko [2]

Answer:

Both objects have the same magnitude of momentum.

Explanation:

If an object of mass $m$ is moving at a velocity of $v$ , the momentum of that object would be $m\, v$ .

The $100\; {\rm g}$ ( $0.1\; {\rm kg}$ ) object is moving at a speed of $1\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}$ . The magnitude of the momentum of this object would be $0.1\; {\rm kg} \times 1\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}} = 0.1\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}}$ .

Similarly, the momentum of the $1\; {\rm g}$ ( $10^{-3}\; {\rm kg}$ ) object moving at a speed of $100\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}$ would be $10^{-3}\; {\rm kg} \times 100\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}} = 0.1\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}}$ .

Hence, the magnitude of momentum is the same for the two objects.
