What are the three different ways to tell the difference between a solar and lunar eclipse?

Physics

Answer:

Solar eclipses occur when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, leaving a moving region of shadow on Earth's surface. Lunar eclipses occur when Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon. This is an annular eclipse.

A fishing boat accidentally spills 3.0 barrels of diesel oil into the ocean. each barrel contains 42 gallons. if the oil film on
9966 [12]

Number of barrels are 3.0. Each barrel contains 42 gallons of oil. Thus, total volume of oil will be 42×3=126 gallons.

Converting gallons into m^{3}

1 gallon=0.00378 m^{3}

Thus, 126 gallons=0.4769 m^{3}

Thickness of oil film is 2.5\times 10^{2} nm, converting it into meters as follows:

1 nm=10^{-9} m

Thus,

2.5\times 10^{2} nm=1.5\times 10^{-7}m

Now, volume V of oil is related to area A and thickness T as follows:

V=A×T

rearranging,

A=\frac{V}{T}=\frac{0.4769 m^{3}}{2\times 10^{-7}m}=2.38\times 10^{6}m^{2}

Thus, square meters of oil will be 2.38\times 10^{6}m^{2}

If vector y = 21cm and vector Z=75 cm, what is vector x ?
pychu [463]
That depends on how 'x' is related to 'y' and 'z' ... like the angles between all of them, and whether they're all on the same planet. A drawing would sure help.

A race-car drives around a circular track of radius RRR. The race-car speeds around its first lap at linear speed v_iv i ​ v, st
Bond [772]

Answer and Explanation: <u>Centripetal</u> <u>Acceleration</u> is the change in velocity caused by a circular motion. It is calculated as:

a_{c}=\frac{v^{2}}{r}

v is linear speed

r is radius of the curve the object in traveling along

For its first lap:

a_{c}_{1}=\frac{v_{i}^{2}}{R}

After a while:

a_{c}_{2}=\frac{(4v_{i})^{2}}{R}

a_{c}_{2}=\frac{16v_{i}^{2}}{R}

Comparing accelerations:

\frac{a_{c}_{2}}{a_{c}_{1}}=\frac{16.v_{i}^{2}}{R}.\frac{R}{v_{i}^{2}}

\frac{a_{c}_{2}}{a_{c}_{1}}=\frac{16.v_{i}^{2}}{R}.\frac{R}{v_{i}^{2}}

\frac{a_{c}_{2}}{a_{c}_{1}}=16

a_{c}_{2}=16a_{c}_{1}

<u>With linear speed </u><u>4 times faster</u><u>, centripetal acceleration is </u><u>16 times greater.</u>
