Explain why solar and lunar eclipses happen.

Physics
1 answer:
Alexus [3.1K]3 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.

The magnitude of the Poynting vector of a planar electromagnetic wave has an average value of 0.939 W/m^2 . The wave is incident
Alchen [17]

Answer:

47 mW

Explanation:

The average value of the Poynting vector, S = 0.939 W/m² = Intensity of wave, I

S = I S

Also, I = P/A where P = Et, P = power of electromagnetic wave, E = energy of electromagnetic wave in time t and t = time = 1 min = 60 s and A = area = lb since the electromagnetic waves falls on area equal to that of a rectangle.

So, S = Et/A

E = SA/t

= Slb/t

= 0.939 W/m² × 1.5 m × 2.0 m/60 s

= 2.817 W/60 s

= 0.047 W

= 47 mW

So, 47 mW of electromagnetic energy falls on the area in 1.0 minute.

Cora, an electrician, wraps a copper wire with a thick plastic coating. What is she most likely trying to do?
larisa86 [58]
The correct answer among the choices given is the last option. Cora wrapping the copper wire with a thick plastic coating keeps a current from passing out a wire. The plastic wire here serves as an insulator. An insulator is a material that prevents electricity or current to flow out the circuit. In order to lessen the loss of energy.

A 68.0-kg person jumps from rest off a 2.20-m-high tower straight down into the water. Neglect air resistance during the descent
Margarita [4]

Answer:

F= 1333.767\,N

Explanation:

The velocity of the swimmer just before touching the water is:

v = -\sqrt{2\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot (2.20\,m)}

v \approx 6.569\,\frac{m}{s}

The average force exerted on the diver by the water is determined by the use of the Principle of Energy Conservation and the Work-Energy Theorem:

(68\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}})\cdot (2.20\,m) +\frac{1}{2}\cdot (68\,kg)\cdot (6.569\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}-F\cdot(2.20\,m) = 0\,J

F= 1333.767\,N

A ball of mass 24.1 g is attached to a cord of length 0.417 m and rotates in a vertical circle. What is the minimum speed the ba
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

<em>the minimum speed that the ball must have so that the cord does not become slack is</em> <em>2.02 m/s.</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

In order to avoid slack, the centripetal force of the ball must equal its weight at the top of the circle. Therefore,

F_c = F_g

m v² / r = m g

v² = g r

v = √[g r]

v = √[(9.8 m/s²)(0.417 m)]

<em>v = 2.02 m/s </em>

Therefore,<em> the minimum speed that the ball must have so that the cord does not become slack is</em> <em>2.02 m/s.</em>

If lightning is caused by electricity in the air during a thunderstorm, what causes thunder?
NikAS [45]

Answer:

Since light travels faster than sound, the lightning arrives before the thunder. But thunder is the sound of lightning shooting through the sky in a thunderstorm.
