Polaris is near the North Celestial Pole and nowhere near the Ecliptic. The Moon's orbit is tipped by 5 degrees to the Ecliptic. An eclipse can only happen when the Moon is near the line of nodes.

A 50.0 kg object is moving at 18.2 m/s when a 200 N force
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

distance = 21.56 m

Explanation:

given data

mass = 50 kg

initial velocity  = 18.2 m/s

force = -200 N ( here force applied to opposite direction )

final velocity = 12.6 m/s

solution

we know here acceleration will be as

acceleration a  = force ÷ mass

a = \frac{-200}{50}   =  -4 m/s²

we get here now required time that is

required time = \frac{V_{(final)} - V_{(initial)}}{a}     ...............1

put here value

required time = \frac{12.6-18.2}{-4}  

so distance will be

distance = \frac{V_{(final)}^2 - V_{(initial)}^2}{2a}    ........2

distance = \frac{12.6}^2 -{18.2}^2}{2\times (-4)}  

distance = 21.56 m

In a cinema theatre, why do we normally not hear echoes even though the sounds are loud?​
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

An echo is formed as a result of reflection of the original sound which returns to the listener. You might have experienced Echo in an EMPTY ROOM but no echo is produced after the room is occupied. To avoid echo from being produced the echo has to be absorbed.

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

Answer: Sound waves and some earthquake waves are longitudinal waves. Ocean, light and other earthquake waves are transverse waves.

Explanation:

There are 2 types of waves:

1. Longitudinal waves: These waves are defined as the waves in which the particles of the medium move in the direction of the wave. This requires a medium to travel. For Example: Sound Waves.

2. Transverse wave: These waves are defined as the waves in which the particles of the medium travel perpendicularly to the direction of the wave. This does not require a medium to travel. These can travel in vacuum also. For Example: Light waves.

Hence, Sound waves and some earthquake waves are longitudinal waves. Ocean, light and other earthquake waves are transverse waves

A small branch is wedged under a 200 kg rock and rests on a smaller object. The small object that creates a pivot point is calle
KiRa [710]

Answer:

F = 326.7 N

Explanation:

given data

mass m = 200 kg

distance d = 2 m

length L = 12 m

solution

we know force exerted by the weight of the rock that is

W = m × g   ..............1

W = 200 × 9.8

W = 1960 N

and

equilibrium the sum  of the moment about that is

∑Mf = F(cos∅) L - W (cos∅) d  = 0

here ∅ is very small so cos∅ L = L and cos∅ d = D

so F × L - W × d = 0       .................2

put here value

F × 12 - 1960 × 2 = 0

solve it we get

F = 326.7 N
