When an opaque obstacle is placed between a source of light and a screen, a shadow of the obstacle is formed on the screen. The kind of shadow depends on the size of the source of light. In other words, the earth casts its shadow on the moon. The solar eclipse occurs when the moon comes between the sun and the earth.
Answer:
The beam of light is moving at the peed of:
km/min
Given:
Distance from the isalnd, d = 3 km
No. of revolutions per minute, n = 4
Solution:
Angular velocity, (1)
Now, in the right angle in the given fig.:
Now, differentiating both the sides w.r.t t:
Applying chain rule:
Now, using and y = 1 in the above eqn, we get:
Also, using eqn (1),
Explanation:
Given that,
A person walks 9.0 km directly east and then turns left and heads directly north for 12.0 km.
We need to find his displacement from the starting position.
We know that,
Displacement = shortest path covered
For direction,
Hence, this is the required solution.
