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.

While taking the stairs it takes you 10 seconds to reach the top. The next time you take the same stairs, it takes you 5 seconds
Ksju [112]

Answer:

  P₂ = 2 P₁

we conclude that in the second time the power used is double that in the first rise

Explanation:

In this exercise we are asked the power to climb the stairs, if we assume that we go up with constant speed, we use an energy equal to the potential energy due to the difference in height of the stairs, as this height is constant the potential energy does not change and therefore therefore the energy used by us does not change either.

Now we can analyze the required power,

         P = W / t

From the analysis of the previous paragraph the work is equal to the energy used, according to the work energy theorem,

therefore the first time the power is

           P₁ = E / 10

           P₁ = 0.1 E

for the second time the power is

          P₂ = E / 5

          P₂ = 0.2 E

we see that the power in the second case is

         P₂ = 2 P₁

Therefore, we conclude that in the second time the power used is double that in the first rise.

The most recent evidence supporting the theory of plate tectonics would include A) GPS monitoring of plate speeds and movements.
Whitepunk [10]

A) GPS monitoring of plate speeds and movements.

Explanation:

The most recent evidence supporting the theory of plate tectonics would be GPS monitoring of plate speeds and movements.

A GPS is a Global Positioning System made up of series of components.

  • Plate tectonics theory is the movement of the earth's lithosphere relative to one another.
  • The recent advances uses a GPS system to monitor real-time movement of the plates.
  • The GPS system is made up of a system of satellite in space that communicates real-times locations to sensors on the earth surface.
  • From the sensors, observatory stations can know and duly observe how plates are moving.
