Answer:

The correct answer is the option<u><em> B) It is a lunar eclipse, in which the Earth casts a shadow on the Moon.</em></u>

Explanation:

A lunar eclipse is an astronomical phenomenon that occurs when the Earth passes directly between the Moon and the Sun, causing the Earth's shadow produced by sunlight to be cast over the Moon completely covering it. For this to happen, the three celestial bodies must be formed in a straight line.

Every year there are between 2 and 7 lunar eclipses. According to the position of the Moon with respect to the Earth's shadow, 3 types of lunar eclipses occur.

The difference between a lunar eclipse and a solar eclipse is that, in the first case, the Earth stands between the Moon and the Sun casting a shadow on the Moon, while in a solar eclipse, the Moon stands between the Sun and Earth, casting its shadow to a small part of the latter.

Finally, <u><em>the correct answer is the option B) It is a lunar eclipse, in which the Earth casts a shadow on the Moon.</em></u>

A 132 cm wire carries a current of 2.2 A. The wire is formed into a circular coil and placed in a B Field of intensity 1 T. a) F
EastWind [94]

Given Information:

Length of wire = 132 cm = 1.32 m

Magnetic field = B =  1 T

Current = 2.2 A

Required Information:

(a) Torque = τ = ?

(b) Number of turns = N = ?

Answer:

(a) Torque = 0.305 N.m

(b) Number of turns = 1

Explanation:

(a) The current carrying circular loop of wire will experience a torque given by

τ = NIABsin(θ)   eq. 1

Where N is the number of turns, I is the current in circular loop, A is the area of circular loop, B is the magnetic field and θ is angle between B and circular loop.

We know that area of circular loop is given by

A = πr²

where radius can be written as

r = L/2πN

So the area becomes

A = π(L/2πN)²

A = πL²/4π²N²

A = L²/4πN²

Substitute A into eq. 1

τ = NI(L²/4πN²)Bsin(θ)

τ = IL²Bsin(θ)/4πN

The maximum toque occurs when θ is 90°

τ = IL²Bsin(90)/4πN

τ = IL²B/4πN

torque will be maximum for N = 1

τ = (2.2*1.32²*1)/4π*1

τ = 0.305 N.m

(b) The required number of turns for maximum torque is

N = IL²B/4πτ

N = 2.2*1.32²*1)/4π*0.305

N = 1 turn

Your hands get warm by a fire because _____energy is converted into heat energy​
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Your hands get warm by fire because chemical energy gets converted into heat energy. When the chemical bonds in the wood are released in the air which then mixes with oxygen and emit heat. This is the reason why it is always hot when you go near something that is burning or is up in flames.

Which equation best expresses the first law of thermodynamics, assuming Q is heat, U is internal energy, and W is work?
devlian [24]

The first law of thermodynamics is expresses by

D. ΔU=Q-W

which means change in internal energy of system = Heat added to system minus work done by the system

All are expressed in Joules.

This law is based on principle of conservation of energy.
