Answer:

Scientists have studied eclipses since ancient times. Aristotle observed that the Earth's shadow has a circular shape as it moves across the moon. He posited that this must mean the Earth was round. Another Greek astronomer named Aristarchus used a lunar eclipse to estimate the distance of the Moon and Sun from Earth

<span>(1)At the bottom of the circle x=π and T=(0.163x4.87²)/0.9 – .163*9.8cosπ=5.893N. </span>
<span>(2)Here x=π/2 and T=(0.163x4.87²)/0.9 – 0.163x9.8cosπ/2=4.295N. </span>
<span>(3)Here x=0 and T=(0.163x4.87²)/0.9 – 0.163x9.8cos0=2.698N. </span>
<span>(4)We have T=(0.163v²)/0.9 – 0.163x9.8cosx.

1. A 4-N force is used to move an object 2 m in 10 s. Which of the following is the power generated while moving the object?
guajiro [1.7K]

Power is the work done per unit time. Therefore,

\begin{gathered} p=\frac{w}{t} \\ \text{where} \\ w=\text{work done} \\ t=\text{time} \end{gathered}

Therefore,

\begin{gathered} \text{work done=fd} \\ f=force=4N \\ d=\text{displacement}=2m \\ t=2\sec s \\ p=\frac{fd}{t}=\frac{4\times2}{10}=\frac{8}{10}=0.8watts \end{gathered}

A cyclist travels at 15 m/s during a sprint finish. What is this speed in km/h
g100num [7]

Answer:

54 km/hr

Explanation:

m/s to km/hr => 18/5

15 m/s to km/hr => 15 x 18/5 =>3 x 18 => 54km/hr
