Answer:

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

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, the correct answer is the option B) It is a lunar eclipse, in which the Earth casts a shadow on the Moon.

A wheel, starting from rest, rotates with a constant angular acceleration of 1.80 rad/s^2. During a certain 7.00 s interval, it

lora16 [44]

Answer:

a) 1.3 rad/s

b) 0.722 s

Explanation:

Given

Initial velocity, ω = 0 rad/s

Angular acceleration of the wheel, α = 1.8 rad/s²

using equations of angular motion, we have

θ2 - θ1 = ω(0)[t2 - t1] + 1/2α(t2 - t1)²

where

θ2 - θ1 = 53.2 rad

t2 - t1 = 7s

substituting these in the equation, we have

θ2 - θ1 = ω(0)[t2 - t1] + 1/2α(t2 - t1)²

53.2 =ω(0) * 7 + 1/2 * 1.8 * 7²

53.2 = 7.ω(0) + 1/2 * 1.8 * 49

53.2 = 7.ω(0) + 44.1

7.ω(0) = 53.2 - 44.1

ω(0) = 9.1 / 7

ω(0) = 1.3 rad/s

Using another of the equations of angular motion, we have

ω(0) = ω(i) + α*t1

1.3 = 0 + 1.8 * t1

1.3 = 1.8 * t1

t1 = 1.3/1.8

t1 = 0.722 s

____ [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

D = 8.27 m ⇒ R = D / 2 = 8.27 m / 2 = 4.135 m

ω = 0.66 rev/sec = (0.66 rev/sec)*(2π rad/1 rev) = 4.1469 rad/s

We can apply the equation

Ff = W ⇒ μ*N = m*g (I)

then we have

N = Fc = m*ac = m*(ω²*R)

Returning to the equation I

μ*N = m*g ⇒ μ*m*ω²*R = m*g ⇒ μ = g / (ω²*R)

Finally

μ = (9.81 m/s²) / ((4.1469 rad/s)²*4.135 m) = 0.1379

Name and describe the two layers inside Earth that are undergoing convection and indicate one major consequence of each.

Lilit [14]

Answer:

Mantle and core

Explanation:

The Mantle and Core are the two components within Earth experiencing convection. In several ways the mantle is significant. The one outcome of convective current is the creation of the fresh oceanic lithosphere around OCEANIC RIDGES, formed by mantle upwelling. Core is indeed the planet's innermost layer.
