What effect or effects would be most significant if the Moon's orbital plane were exactly the same as the ecliptic plane?
Lilit [14]

Answer:

c. Solar eclipses would be much more frequent.

Explanation:

The <u>ecliptic plane</u> is the apparent orbit that the sun describes around the earth (although it is the earth that orbits the sun), is the path the sun follows in earth's sky.

A <u>solar eclipse</u> occurs when the moon gets between the earth and the sun, so a shadow is cast on the earth because the light from the sun is blocked.

The reason why solar eclipses are not very frequent is because the moon's orbital plane is not in the same plane as the orbit of the earth around the sun, but rather that it is somewhat inclined with respect to it.

So <u>if both orbits were aligned, the moon would interpose between the sun and the earth more frequently, producing more solar eclipses.</u>

So, if the moon's orbital plane were exacly the same as the ecliptic plane solar eclipses would be more frequent.

the answer is: c.

A 5 kg rock is raised 28 m above the ground level. What is the change in its potential energy?
marin [14]
Let's assume that ground level is the height 0 meters. The change in potential energy is going to be gravitational potential energy, which is given by PE=mgh.
ΔPE=mgh-mgy
=mg(h-y)
=50(28-0)
=1400 J

A ball of plasticine is released from rest at height of 2.2 m above the ground. After touching the ground, the plasticine ball c
Anna35 [415]

The magnitude of the acceleration of the ball while coming to rest is 477.43 m/s²

The direction of the acceleration of the ball is downwards

The given parameters

initial velocity of the ball, u = 0

height above the ground, h = 2.2 m

time of motion of the ball, t = 96 ms = 0.096 s

The magnitude of the acceleration of the ball while coming to rest is calculated as;

let the downwards direction of the acceleration be positive

h = ut + 0.5 at^2\\\\h = 0 + 0.5at^2\\\\h = 0.5 at^2\\\\a = \frac{h}{0.5t^2} \\\\a = \frac{2.2}{0.5 \times 0.096^2} \\\\a = 477.43 \ m/s^2

The direction of the acceleration of the ball is downwards
