Why are there so few eclipses in 2014?

Physics

Answer:

Because the Moon casts a smaller shadow than Earth does, eclipses of the Sun tightly constrain where you can see them. If the Moon completely hides the Sun, even for a moment, the eclipse is considered total.

There were 2 solar and 2 lunar eclipses in 2014.

That was pretty durn close to the averages for the whole 20th Century ... 2.22 solar per year, and 2.21 lunar per year.

So I don't think there's anything about 2014 that needs an explanation, because there were not "so few" of them in that year.

Infer the direction of the net force acting on a car as it slows down and turns right.
Kobotan [32]
Net force would be towards the right and back (opposite direction of motion) since it's slowing down (decelerating) and turning right.

A 2kg Book is sitting on a table.a 10n Force is pulling to the right.a 3n Force is pulling to the left what is the net force act
salantis [7]


The net force = sum of all forces acting on the body



If we take left side as -ve and right side as +ve,
then,

The net force here would be equal to,
10N + (- 3N)
= 7N.


Therefore, a net force of +7N ( + indicates it's moving towards right) is acting on the book of mass 2kg.

A cylinder fitted with a piston exists in a high-pressure chamber (3 atm) with an initial volume of 1 L. If a sufficient quantit
Bess [88]

Answer:

C. 85%

Explanation:

A cylinder fitted with a piston exists in a high-pressure chamber (3 atm) with an initial volume of 1 L. If a sufficient quantity of a hydrocarbon material is combusted inside the cylinder to produce 1 kJ of energy, and if the volume of the chamber then increases to 1.5 L, what percent of the fuel's energy was lost to friction and heat?

A. 15%

B. 30%

C. 85%

D. 100%

work done by the system will be

W=PdV

p=pressure

dV=change in volume

3tam will be changed to N/m^2

3*1.01*10^5

W=3.03*10^5*(1.5-1)

convert 0.5L to m^3

5*10^-4

W=3.03*10^5*5*10^-4

W=152J

therefore

to find the percentage used

152/1000*100

15%

100%-15%

85% uf the fuel's energy was lost to friction and heat
