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.

In what direction does an object move when affected by an unbalanced force
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

An unbalanced force means that there are more than one forces with different directions or magnitudes affecting the object. In this case, the vector addition of the forces should be done. The vector addition will result a net force. The object will move in the direction of the net force.

A small mailbag is released from a helicopter that is descending steadily at 3 m/s.
mario62 [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

a) Speed of mailbag after 3 seconds = 32.4 m/s

b) Package is 44.1 meter below helicopter

c) If the helicopter was rising steadily at 3.00 m/s

       Speed of mailbag after 3 seconds = 26.4 m/s

       Package is 44.1 meter below helicopter

<u>Explanation:</u>

a)  We have equation of motion, v = u + at, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time taken.

   Initial velocity = 3 m/s, acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2 and time = 3 seconds.

   v = 3+9.8*3 = 32.4 m/s

  Speed of mailbag after 3 seconds = 32.4 m/s

b) We have equation of motion , s= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2, s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

 Velocity of helicopter = 3 m/s, time taken = 3 seconds, acceleration = 0 m/s^2.

    s= 3*3+\frac{1}{2} *0*3^2\\ \\ s=9m

    Distance traveled by helicopter = 9 meter.

 Velocity of package = 3 m/s, time taken = 3 seconds, acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2.

  s= 3*3+\frac{1}{2} *9.8*3^2\\ \\ s= 53.1m

  Distance traveled by package  = 53.1 meter.

So package is (53.1-9)meter below helicopter = 44.1 m

c) Initial velocity = -3 m/s, acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2 and time = 3 seconds.

  v = -3+9.8*3 = 26.4 m/s

  Speed of mailbag after 3 seconds = 26.4 m/s

 Velocity of helicopter = -3 m/s, time taken = 3 seconds, acceleration = 0 m/s^2.

    s= -3*3+\frac{1}{2} *0*3^2\\ \\ s=-9m

    Distance traveled by helicopter = 9 meter.

 Velocity of package = -3 m/s, time taken = 3 seconds, acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2.

  s= -3*3+\frac{1}{2} *9.8*3^2\\ \\ s= 35.1m

  Distance traveled by package  = 35.1 meter.

So package is (35.1+9)meter below helicopter = 44.1 m
