Why are there so few eclipses in 2014?
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Because the Moon casts a smaller shadow than Earth does, eclipses of the Sun tightly constrain where you can see them. If the Moon completely hides the Sun, even for a moment, the eclipse is considered total.

Consider a system to be two train cars traveling toward each other. What is the total momentum of the system before the train ca
Brut [27]

Let say the two train cars are of masses m_1 and m_2

now if the speed of two cars are v_1 and v_2

then we can say that the momentum of two cars before they collide is given by

P = m_1v_1 - m_2v_2

here two cars are moving in opposite direction so we can say that the net momentum is subtraction of two cars momentum.

Now since in these two car motion there is no external force on them while they collide

So the momentum of two cars are always conserved.

hence we can say that the final momentum of two cars will be same after collision as it is before collision

P = m_1v_1 - m_2v_2

Which law is used to find the magnitude of a magnetic force?
Talja [164]

Answer:

The Flemings left hand rule is used to find the magnitude of a magnetic force

Explanation:

Fleming's left hand rule states that if the first three fingers are held mutually at right angles to one another, then the fore finger points into the direction of magnetic field the middle finger in the direction of current while the thumb points in the direction of force.

Mathematically

Magnetic Force F= BILsinθ

Where

B= magnetic field density Tesla

I= current

L= length of conductor

θ= angle of conductor with field

Answer:

A) Energy is dissipated into heat and sound energy due to Friction

B) The energy goes into heat and sound energy due to friction again, otherwise the cart would accelerate due to an unbalanced force. Therefore, we know there's friction, and the friction causes energy loss.
