The Sun is completely blocked in a solar eclipse because the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun.
it is just the right distance away from Earth, the Moon can fully blocks the Sun's light from Earth's perspective

A skier of mass 60 kg is pulled up a slope by a motor-driven cable. (a) How much work is required to pull him 75 m up a 30° slop

postnew [5]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of skier=60 kg

distance traveled by skier=75 m

inclination $(\theta )=30^{\circ}$

speed (v)=2.4 m/s

as the skier is moving up with a constant velocity therefore net force is zero

$F_{net}=0$

Force applied by cable $=mg\sin \theta$

$F=60\times 9.8\times \sin (30)=294 N$

work done $=F\cdot x$

$W=294\cdot 75=22.125 J$

(b)Power $=F\cdot v$

$P=294\cdot 2.4=705.6 W\approx 0.946 hp$

Bob has been Springfield's top meteorologist for ten years. He received data from satellite imaging and computer models that a h

djyliett [7]

The correct letter of the answer would be letter b, Bob is using his personal knowledge of the local area to make his forecast. It does not look like he's ignoring the computer for he's been the top meteorologist for ten years, meaning to say, he would use his knowledge about the local area and tell them his knowledge about the weather.

Two small children decide it would be fun to toss a couple of large cats at each other. Cat A (7kg) is thrown at 7m/s and cat B

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

V=4.7m/s

Explanations:

Let Ma mass of cat A=7kg

Va velocity of cat A=7m/s

Mb mass of cat b=6.1kg

VB velocity of cat b=2m/s

From conservation of linear momentum

MaVa+MbVb=(Ma+Mb)V

7*7+6.1*2=(7+6.1)V

61.2=13.1V

V=4.7m/s
