-- Build a long, skinny campfire all around the rock, as close as possible to the rock, so the hot coals are right around the underside of the rock, and the flames lick up and around it.

-- Let it burn there for a few hours, so that a lot of the outside of the rock gets really hot.

-- Throw a big bunch of cold water on top of the rock ... enough so that it runs down the whole outside of the rock.

The thermal stresses that suddenly propagate through the rock, on the surface and for some distance into it, crack a layer of some thickness into several pieces, and the pieces fall off onto the ground.

If the cracking and crumbling doesn't extend far enough in, then just pick up the pieces of the layer that DID crumble off, and then go through the  whole same process again, with the inside smaller rock that remains.

Each lunar cycle has one full moon, in which the relative positions of Earth, the sun, and the moon form in a straight line
aniked [119]

Complete Question:

Each lunar cycle has one full moon, in which the relative positions of Earth, the sun, and the moon form in a straight line. Which list represents the position of Earth, the sun, and the moon during a full moon?

Group of answer choices.

A. Earth, sun, moon

B. sun, moon, Earth

C. moon, sun, Earth

D. sun, Earth, moon

Answer:

D. sun, Earth, moon

Explanation:

A lunar eclipse is a phenomenon that occurs when the Earth comes between the Moon and the Sun thereby causing it to cover the Moon with its shadow.

Simply stated, lunar eclipse takes place when the Moon passes or moves through the Earth's shadow thereby blocking any ray of sunlight from reaching the Moon. Thus, the full moon appears deep red (blood moon).

Also, a lunar eclipse would occur only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are closely aligned to form a straight line known as the syzygy.

There are three (3) types of lunar eclipse and these are;

1. Total lunar eclipse.

2. Partial lunar eclipse.

3. Penumbra lunar eclipse.

Each lunar cycle has one full moon, in which the relative positions of Earth, the sun, and the moon form in a straight line. Thus, the list which represents the position of Earth, the sun, and the moon during a full moon is sun, Earth, and moon

A train traveling at 6.4 m/s accelerates at 0.10 m/s 2 over a distance of 100 m. How large is the train’s final velocity?
klasskru [66]

The final velocity of the train at the end of the given distance is 7.81 m/s.

The given parameters;

  • initial velocity of the train, u = 6.4 m/s
  • acceleration of the train, a = 0.1 m/s²
  • distance traveled, s = 100 m

The final velocity of the train at the end of the given distance is calculated using the following kinematic equation;

v² = u² + 2as

v² = (6.4)² + (2 x 0.1 x 100)

v² = 60.96

v = √60.96

v = 7.81 m/s

Thus, the final velocity of the train at the end of the given distance is 7.81 m/s.
