Why are there so few eclipses in 2014?

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.

12000 inches to yards

Nutka1998 [239]

ANSWER

$\begin{equation*} 333.33\text{ yds} \end{equation*}$

EXPLANATION

We want to convert 12000 inches to yards.

To do this, divide the value in inches by 36:

$\begin{gathered} 1\text{ in }=\frac{1}{36}\text{ yd} \\ \\ 12000\text{ in }=\frac{12000}{36}\text{ yds }=333.33\text{ yds} \end{gathered}$

That is the answer.

The two conducting rails in the drawing are tilted upwards so they each make an angle of 30.0° with respect to the ground. The v

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

The current flows through the rod is 14.9 A.

Explanation:

Given that,

Magnetic field = 0.045 T

Mass of aluminum rod = 0.19 kg

Length = 1.6 m

Angle = 30.0°

We need to calculate the force

Using resolving force

$F\cos\theta=mg\sin\theta$

$F=mg\tan\theta$

Put the value into the formula

$F=0.19\times9.8\times\tan30$

$F=1.075\ N$

We need to calculate the current flows through the rod

Using formula of magnetic force

$F=iLB$

$i=\dfrac{F}{LB}$

Put the value into the formula

$i=\dfrac{1.075}{1.6\times0.045}$

$i=14.9\ A$

Hence, The current flows through the rod is 14.9 A.

Monochromatic light of wavelength, lambda, is traveling in air. The light then strikes a thin film having an index of refraction

kumpel [21]

Answer:

The correct option is H

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The index of refraction of coating is $n_1$

The index of refraction of material is $n_2$

Generally the condition for constructive for a thin film interference is mathematically represented

$2 * t = [ m + \frac{1}{2}] \frac{\lambda}{n_1 }$

Here t represents the thickness

For minimum thickness m = 0

$2 * t =0 + \frac{1}{2}\frac{\lambda}{n_1 }$

=> $t =\frac{\lambda}{4n_1 }$

What is most likely the relationship between Mendel’s rules of genetics and Darwin’s idea of biological evolution?

xenn [34]

Answer:

Darwin's theory of natural selection lacked an adequate account of ... Darwinian principles now play a greater role in biology than ever before, .... Sadly, even if Mendel had lived to see the rediscovery of his work, he probably .... evolutionary forces are acting, a genetic equivalent to Galileo's law of inertia.
