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.

You are riding in the passenger seat of a car as it goes around a tight turn. You slide across the seat to the passenger side do

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

1. b. The door is exerting a centripetal force on you that balances the centrifugal force of the turn.

2. b. There is no net force acting on the object.

Explanation:

1. This is because as you move to the right due to the centrifugal force of the turn, a corresponding centripetal force acts on you due to the door which does not allow you fall out of the car since, the door is exerting a centripetal force on you that balances the centrifugal force of the turn.

So, the answer is b

2. This is because, since the object moves at a constant speed and thus does not accelerate, no net force can act on it since, a net force would imply that the object accelerates. Note that a constant speed does not imply that no force acts on it. It only shows that the resultant or net force is zero since the object does not accelerate.

So, there is no net force acting on the object.

So, b is the answer.
