Why do solar eclipses move from west to east?

The eclipse usually moves from west to east as the moon rotates the Earth from west to east and the Earth rotates towards the east as well.

This means that the shadow of the moon is also moving towards the east. That's why the eclipse moves towards the east (it follows the lunar shadow).

who brought astronomy out of the dark ages by declaring: "finally we shall place the sun himself at the center of the universe.
solong [7]

Nicolaus Copernicus was the one who brought astronomy out of the dark ages.

In one of his books "On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Bodies", he published the renowned line which declares his theory.

Nicolaus Copernicus, A polish astronomer put forward the theory that the is th Sun one that rests in the middle or center of the Universe and the planet Earth revolves around it on its axis every day.which was considered to be called the Heliocentric system.

A 360-N child is in a swing that is attached to a pair of ropes 1.90 m long. Find the gravitational potential energy of the chil
Igoryamba

Answer:

684J

Explanation:

So basically the formula for gravitational potential energy is Mass X Gravity X height. That is G.p.e = mgh

We don't have the mass but since we have the height, we multiply directly with the height since the quantity of weight is already given.

so G.p.e = 360 X 1.9 = 684J

Note that; The answer is in joules because g.p.e is work done.

Hope that was helpful!!

slader How much energy is required to move a 1040 kg object from the Earth's surface to an altitude four times the Earth's radiu
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

ΔU = 5.21 × 10^(10) J

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of object; m = 1040 kg

To solve this, we will use the formula for potential energy which is;

U = -GMm/r

But we are told we want to move the object from the Earth's surface to an altitude four times the Earth's radius.

Thus;

ΔU = -GMm((1/r_f) - (1/r_i))

Where;

M is mass of earth = 5.98 × 10^(24) kg

r_f is final radius

r_i is initial radius

G is gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10^(-11) N.m²/kg²

Since, it's moving to altitude four times the Earth's radius, it means that;

r_i = R_e

r_f = R_e + 4R_e = 5R_e

Where R_e is radius of earth = 6371 × 10³ m

Thus;

ΔU = -6.67 × 10^(-11) × 5.98 × 10^(24)

× 1040((1/(5 × 6371 × 10³)) - (1/(6371 × 10³))

ΔU = 5.21 × 10^(10) J
