Can the Earth block the Sun;s light from the Moon, or cast a shadow?

Physics
1 answer:
tatuchka [14]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Sometimes Earth moves between the sun and the moon. When this happens, Earth blocks the sunlight that normally is reflected by the moon. (This sunlight is what causes the moon to shine.) Instead of light hitting the moon's surface, Earth's shadow falls on it.

Explanation:

Assuming the wall is frictionless, there are four forces acting on the ladder.

Weight pulling down at the center of the ladder (mg).

Reaction force pushing to the left at the wall (Rw).

Reaction force pushing up at the foot of the ladder (Rf).

Friction force pushing to the right at the foot of the ladder (Ff).

(a) Calculate the reaction force at the wall.

Take the sum of the moments about the foot of the ladder.

∑τ = Iα

Rw (3.0 sin 60°) − mg (1.5 cos 60°) = 0

Rw (3.0 sin 60°) = mg (1.5 cos 60°)

Rw = mg / (2 tan 60°)

Rw = (10 kg) (9.8 m/s²) / (2√3)

Rw = 28 N

(b) State the friction at the foot of the ladder.

Take the sum of the forces in the x direction.

∑F = ma

Ff − Rw = 0

Ff = Rw

Ff = 28 N

(c) State the reaction at the foot of the ladder.

Take the sum of the forces in the y direction.

∑F = ma

Rf − mg = 0

Rf = mg

Rf = 98 N

A person is standing on and facing the front of a stationary skateboard while holding a construction brick. The mass of the pers
Inessa [10]

Answer:

    v₁ = -0.8087 m / s

Explanation:

To solve this problem we can use the conservation of momentum, for this we define a system formed by the man, the skateboard and the brick, therefore the force during the separation is internal and the momentum is conserved

Initial instant. When they are united

        p₀ = 0

Final moment. After throwing the brick

        p_{f} = (m_man + m_skate) v1 + m_brick v2

the moment is preserved

        p₀ = p_{f}

        0 = (m_man + m_skate) v₁ + m_brick v₂

        v₁ = -  \frac{ m_{brick}   }{m_{man} + m_{skate}   }  v_{2}

the negative sign indicates that the two speeds are in the opposite direction

let's calculate

        v₁ = - \frac{2.5}{67 + 4.10}  23.0

        v₁ = -0.8087 m / s
