Micky made the following diagram shown to represent the lunar eclipse. Earth is shown as a circle with water and land represented on it. On its left is a smaller circle labeled as Moon. On the left of the moon is the sun. Rays are shown from sun towards the moon and Earth and the shadow of the moon falls on Earth.

Why is Micky's diagram of the lunar eclipse incorrect?

Earth should be between the sun and moon.
The sun should be between the moon and Earth.
Earth should be located vertically above the sun.
The sun should be located at right angles to the moon.

the answer is b, have negligible mass

air exerts forces on falling objects near earth’s surface.

explanation:

the term 'free falls' refer to object that are falling towards the earth, in a situation in which gravity is the only force acting on the object.

for an object in free fall, the acceleration is constant (g, the gravitational acceleration), and so the velocity of the object constantly increases.

for objects near earth's surface, there is always another force acting on the object: the resistance due to the air. this force is opposed to the direction of fall of the object, and it is proportional to the velocity of the object, so as the object falls down, this force increases up to a point when it balances the force of gravity, and the object continues its motion at constant velocity (called terminal velocity). since in this case gravity is not the only force acting on the object, we are not in a situation of free fall.

the only real purpose of sputnik 1 was to beat the us into space. we were getting close to launching a useful satellite, explorer 1 - which launched on january 31, 1958. the ussr had to beat that, so they launched sputnik 1 on october 4, 19
