Alexus [3.1K]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

When the Moon passes between Sun and Earth, the lunar shadow is seen as a solar eclipse on Earth. When Earth passes directly between Sun and Moon, its shadow creates a lunar eclipse. ... But lunar eclipses do not occur every month because the Moon's orbit is tilted five degrees from Earth's orbit around the Sun.

One end of a 7-cm-long spring is attached to the ceiling. When a 5.4 kg mass is hung from the other end, the spring is stretched
mash [69]

Answer:

2.63 cm

Explanation:

Hooke's law gives that the force F is equal to cy where c is spring constant and x is extension

Making c the subject of the formula then

c=\frac {F}{y}

Since F is gm but taking the given mass to be F

c=\frac {5.4 kg}{4.3 cm}=1.2558139534883720930232558139534883720930

By substitution now considering F to be 3.3 kg

y=\frac {3.3 kg}{1.2558139534883720930232558139534883720930}=2.6277777777777 cm\approx 2.63 cm
