Answer:
c) 12
Explanation:
A Solar eclipse occurs when The Sun, The Earth and The Moon comes in a straight line with the Moon being in between the Earth and the Sun. At this point the Moon appears to block the Sun and Moon's shadow falls on Earth. This would occur only on the day of the New Moon.
If the Moon's orbit was in the same plane as that of the Earth's orbit. Every new Moon, there would be a Solar Eclipse. The Lunar cycle is of 29.5 Days which means there will be one new Moon every month. So there will be 12 Solar Eclipses every year.
Currently, the orbit of the Moon is tilted at an angle of 5° thus we don't see that many Solar eclipses. Maximum of 5 solar eclipses can occur in an year.

Answer:
FALSE
Explanation:
Velocity = speed with direction.
Think of speed and direction like rockets and missiles. Rockets are not smart. Missiles are smart. Rockets go in one direction. Missiles can track their targets, they have a specific destination, a specific direction.
Velocity is often used in physics, because its almost useless to know how fast an object is going if you don't know which direction it is going.
Think of it like this. If the Weather man told you a hurricane was traveling at 30 miles an hour, but didn't tell you which direction it was going, you would have no idea where to run, or if it was going to hit you at all. However, if he told you it was going 30 miles an hour to the North, and you were West of it, you would be fine, and wouldn't have to worry.
Answer:
I = M R^2 is the moment of inertia about a point that is a distance R from the center of mass (uniform distributed mass).
The moment of inertia about the center of a sphere is 2 / 5 M R^2.
By the parallel axis theorem the moment of inertia about a point on the rim of the sphere is I = 2/5 M R^2 + M R^2 = 7/5 M R^2
I = 7/5 * 20 kg * .2^2 m = 1.12 kg m^2
