Answer:

b. only within the moon’s umbra.

Explanation:

A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon blocks the sunlight falling on the Earth. It occurs at the bright side of the Earth when Earth passes through the umbra of the moon.

When sun, moon and Earth align in a straight line, the disk of the moon is able to block the disk of the sun causing the sunlight to get blocked. Shadow of moon falls on the Earth. A total eclipse occurs when the sun is complete blocked and there is total darkness. It is visible from those areas which pass through the moon's umbra.

Hey! Hope that this helps. I'm fairly certain the answer is B, because I know that it's not visible from all over the earth, so that eliminates A, but doing some research I found out that an observer in the umbra experiences a total eclipse.

A balloon of mass M is floating motionless in the air. A person of mass less than M is on a rope ladder hanging from the balloon

Tasya [4]

Let the mass of the person be m. Total momentum is conserved (because the exterior forces on the system are balanced), especially the component in the vertical direction.

Given that,

Mass of gallon is M

Let man mass be m

Velocity of man is v

Let velocity if ballot be Vb

When the person begin to move we have

Conservation of momentum

mv + MVb=0

MVb=-mv

Vb= -(m/M) v

Given that the mass of man is less than mass of balloon. i.e. m<M

So, if m<M, then, m/M <1

Therefore, .

Vb= -(m/M) v

Vb< -v

This implies that the velocity of balloon is less than the velocity of man and if is also moving in opposite direction

So the man is moving upward, then the balloon is moving downward and it's velocity is less than the velocity of man,

The answer is C

Down with a speed less than v

flat sheet is in the shape of a rectangle with sides of lengths 0.400 mm and 0.600 mm. The sheet is immersed in a uniform electr

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

$6.29591\times 10^{-6}\ N/C^2$

Explanation:

Flux is given by

$\phi=EAcos\theta$

A = Area

$A=0.4\times 10^{-3}\times 0.6\times 10^{-3}$

E = Electric field = 76.7 N/C

Angle is given by

$\theta=90-20\\\Rightarrow \theta=70^{\circ}$

$\phi=76.7\times 0.4\times 10^{-3}\times 0.6\times 10^{-3}\times cos70\\\Rightarrow \phi=6.29591\times 10^{-6}\ N/C^2$

The flux through the sheet is $6.29591\times 10^{-6}\ N/C^2$

which force field can accelerate an electron, but never change its speed? a) electric field b) magnetic field c) both of these d

Drupady [299]

Option a; Electric field can accelerate an electron, but never change its speed

An electric field (also known as an E-field) is a physical field that surrounds electrically charged particles and exerts force on all other charged particles in the field, either attracting or repelling them. It can also refer to the physical field of a charged particle system. Electric fields are created by electric charges and time-varying electric currents. Electric and magnetic fields are both aspects of the electromagnetic field, one of nature's four fundamental interactions (also known as forces). Electric fields are significant in many areas of physics and are used in electrical technology. In atomic physics and chemistry, for example, the electric field is the attractive force that holds the atomic nucleus and electrons together in atoms. It is also the driving force behind chemical bonds between atoms.

A hollow spherical shell has mass 8.20 kg and radius 0.220 m. It is initially at rest and then rotates about a stationary axis t

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

8.91 J

Explanation:

mass, m = 8.20 kg

radius, r = 0.22 m

Moment of inertia of the shell, I = 2/3 mr^2

= 2/3 x 8.2 x 0.22 x 0.22 = 0.265 kgm^2

n = 6 revolutions

Angular displacement, θ = 6 x 2 x π = 37.68 rad

angular acceleration, α = 0.890 rad/s^2

initial angular velocity, ωo = 0 rad/s

Let the final angular velocity is ω.

Use third equation of motion

ω² = ωo² + 2αθ

ω² = 0 + 2 x 0.890 x 37.68

ω = 8.2 rad/s

Kinetic energy,

$K = \frac{1}{2}I\omega ^{2}$

K = 0.5 x 0.265 x 8.2 x 8.2

K = 8.91 J

During an auto accident, the vehicle's air bags deploy and slow down the passengers more gently than if they had hit the windshi

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

At a deceleration of 60g, or 60 times the acceleration due to gravity a person will travel a distance of 0.38 m before coing to a complete stop

Explanation:

The maximum acceleration of the airbag = 60 g, and the duration of the acceleration = 36 ms or 36/1000 s or 0.036 s

To find out how far (in meters) does a person travel in coming to a complete stop in 36 ms at a constant acceleration of 60g

we write out the equation of motion thus.

S = ut + 0.5at²

wgere

S = distance to come to complete stop

u = final velocoty = 0 m/s

a = acceleration = 60g = 60 × 9.81

t = time = 36 ms

as can be seen, the above equation calls up the given variable as a function of the required variable thus

S = 0×0.036 + 0.5×60×9.81×0.036² = 0.38 m

At 60g, a person will travel a distance of 0.38 m before coing to a complete stop
