What is the difference in the positioning of the Sun, Earth and moon for a lunar eclipse versus a full moon?

1 answer:

3 0

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. Lunar eclipses can only happen when the Moon is opposite the Sun in the sky, a monthly occurrence we know as a full Moon.

A 2.7-kg ball is thrown upward with an initial speed of 20.0 m/s from the edge of a 45.0 m high cliff. At the instant the ball i

scoray [572]

Answer:

The distance traveled by the woman is 34.1m

Explanation:

Given

The initial height of the cliff

yo = 45m final, positition y = 0m bottom of the cliff

y = yo + ut -1/2gt²

u = 20.0m/s initial speed

g = 9.80m/s²

0 = 45.0 + 20×t –1/2×9.8×t²

0 = 45 +20t –4.9t²

Solving quadratically or by using a calculator,

t = 5.69s and –1.61s byt time cannot be negative so t = 5.69s

So this is the total time it takes for the ball to reach the ground from the height it was thrown.

The distance traveled by the woman is

s = vt

Given the speed of the woman v = 6.00m/s

Therefore

s = 6.00×5.69 = 34.14m

Approximately 34.1m to 3 significant figures.

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Scientists measure the time between the arrival of an earthquake's __P____ and ___S____ waves to help determine the distance between the recording seismograph and the earthquake epicenter.

Explanation:

P- (compressional) and S- (shear) waves produced in earthquakes travel at different speeds. P waves are faster than S waves and hence will be detected first by a seismograph after an earthquake. The further away a seismograph is from the epicenter of an earthquake, the longer the time difference between the two (2) waves will be.

Using several, at least 3, seismographs located at different geoghraphical locations and detecting earthquakes, geologists can extrapolate the epicenter of an earthquake using the time differences in arrivals of the two waves in each of the seismographs, using the mathematics of triangulation.

A 2.00-kg object A is connected with a massless string across a massless, frictionless pulley to a 3.00-kg object B. Object A re

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

tension: 19.3 N
acceleration: 3.36 m/s^2

Explanation:

Given

mass A = 2.0 kg

mass B = 3.0 kg

θ = 40°

Find

The tension in the string

The acceleration of the masses

Solution

Mass A is being pulled down the inclined plane by a force due to gravity of ...

F = mg·sin(θ) = (2 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(0.642788) = 12.5986 N

Mass B is being pulled downward by gravity with a force of ...

F = mg = (3 kg)(9.8 m/s^2) = 29.4 N

The tension in the string, T, is such that the net force on each mass results in the same acceleration:

F/m = a = F/m

(T -12.59806 N)/(2 kg) = (29.4 N -T) N/(3 kg)

T = (2(29.4) +3(12.5986))/5 = 19.3192 N

Then the acceleration of B is ...

a = F/m = (29.4 -19.3192) N/(3 kg) = 3.36027 m/s^2

The string tension is about 19.3 N; the acceleration of the masses is about 3.36 m/s^2.
