Why does a lunar eclipse last for a few hours whereas a solar eclipse only lasts for a few minutes?

Physics
1 answer:
Aneli [31]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The type and length of a lunar eclipse depend on the Moon's proximity to either node of its orbit. ... A total lunar eclipse can last up to nearly 2 hours, while a total solar eclipse lasts only up to a few minutes at any given place, due to the smaller size of the Moon's shadow.

[30 POINTS] An automobile steering wheel is shown. The ideal mechanical advantage of this wheel and axle = _____ .
mamaluj [8]

Rw/Ra = MA

18cm/2cm= MA

MA = 9

This means that Fi is 1/9 of the force applied to the axil. The distance travelled by Rw is 9 times more than Ri  is that you move 9 times more when turning the wheel using Rw.

Put more simply

Rw/Ra = Fa/Fw

  • Rw = Radius of the wheel
  • Ra = Radius of the axil
  • Fa = Force delivered on the axil
  • Fw = Force delivered by the wheel

Answer:

1.The main advantage of an electromagnet over a permanent magnet is that the magnetic field can be quickly changed by controlling the amount of electric current in the winding. However, unlike a permanent magnet that needs no power, an electromagnet requires a continuous supply of current to maintain the magnetic field.

A ball is thrown straight up in the air.When the ball reaches its highest point, which of the following is true?a. It is in equi
olasank [31]

Answer:

option E.

Explanation:

When the ball is at the highest point the velocity of the ball is zero.

At the height point the kinetic energy is zero and potential energy is maximum.

At maximum point momentum cannot be maximum because velocity is zero.

Acceleration on the ball is equal to acceleration due to gravity on the ball.

Hence, the correct answer is option E.
