What lasts longer and why?: A solar eclipse or a lunar eclipse?

1 answer:

5 0

Lunar eclipse can lasts longer because it lasts around 3 hours but can last as long as four hours. Solar eclipse last shorter than lunar eclipse because the moon only creates a small shadow on the earth and the moon travels through the suns vision (as seen on earth) in a short amount of time.

A car with a mass of 710 kg is traveling at 37 km/hr. It accelerates to a speed of 120 km/hr in 12.6 seconds. What is the net fo

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer: The net force acting on the car 1,299.3 N.

Explanation:

Mass of the car = 710 kg

Initial velocity of the car of the ,u= 37 km/h= 10.27 m/s $(1km\h=\frac{5}{18} m/s)$

Final velocity of the car,v = 120 km/h = 33.33 m/s

time taken b y car = 12.6 sec

v-u=at

$33.33m/s-10.27m/s=23.06 m/s=a(12.6 sec)$

$a = 1.83 m/s^2$

$Force=mass\times acceleration$

$Force=710 kg\times 1.83 m/s^2$

$Force=1,299.3 N$

The net force acting on the car 1,299.3 N.

Bare free charges do not remain stationary when close together. To illustrate this, calculate the acceleration of two isolated p

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

Acceleration, $a=9.91\times 10^{15}\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Separation between the protons, $r=3.73\ nm=3.73\times 10^{-9}\ m$

Charge on protons, $q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

Mass of protons, $m=1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg$

We need to find the acceleration of two isolated protons. It can be calculated by equating electric force between protons and force due to motion as :

$ma=\dfrac{kq^2}{r^2}$

$a=\dfrac{kq^2}{mr^2}$

$a=\dfrac{9\times 10^9\times (1.6\times 10^{-19})^2}{1.67\times 10^{-27}\times (3.73\times 10^{-9})^2}$

$a=9.91\times 10^{15}\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of two isolated protons is $9.91\times 10^{15}\ m/s^2$ . Hence, this is the required solution.
