A eclipse of the sun can only occur at a new moon when the moon passes between earth and sun. If the moons shadow happens to fall upon earths surface at a time, you'll see some portion of the suns disk covered or aka eclipsed by the moon.. I hope that helps

Give the correct balanced equation for the single replacement reaction of magnesium with aluminum oxide

diamong [38]

Answer:

Al2O3 + 3Mg ===》 3MgO + 2Al

Explanation:

Reaction of aluminium oxide with magnesium metal would form magnesium oxide and aluminium metal.

Balancing the stoichiometric equation, the number of atoms at the reactant must be equal to the number of atoms at the product so that law of conservation of matter must hold.

Al203 + 3Mg ====》 3MgO + 2Al

2 aluminium at reactant = 2 aluminium at product

3 oxygen at reactant = 3 oxygen at product

3 magnesium at reactant = 3 magnesium at product.

The maximum distance from the Earth to the Sun (at aphelion) is 1.521 1011 m, and the distance of closest approach (at perihelio

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

29274.93096 m/s

$2.73966\times 10^{33}\ J$

$-5.39323\times 10^{33}\ J$

$2.56249\times 10^{33}\ J$

$-5.21594\times 10^{33}$

Explanation:

$r_p$ = Distance at perihelion = $1.471\times 10^{11}\ m$

$r_a$ = Distance at aphelion = $1.521\times 10^{11}\ m$

$v_p$ = Velocity at perihelion = $3.027\times 10^{4}\ m/s$

$v_a$ = Velocity at aphelion

m = Mass of the Earth = 5.98 × 10²⁴ kg

M = Mass of Sun = $1.9889\times 10^{30}\ kg$

Here, the angular momentum is conserved

$L_p=L_a\\\Rightarrow r_pv_p=r_av_a\\\Rightarrow v_a=\frac{r_pv_p}{r_a}\\\Rightarrow v_a=\frac{1.471\times 10^{11}\times 3.027\times 10^{4}}{1.521\times 10^{11}}\\\Rightarrow v_a=29274.93096\ m/s$

Earth's orbital speed at aphelion is 29274.93096 m/s

Kinetic energy is given by

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv_p^2\\\Rightarrow K=\frac{1}{2}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}(3.027\times 10^{4})^2\\\Rightarrow K=2.73966\times 10^{33}\ J$

Kinetic energy at perihelion is $2.73966\times 10^{33}\ J$

Potential energy is given by

$P=-\frac{GMm}{r_p}\\\Rightarrow P=-\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.989\times 10^{30}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}}{1.471\times 10^{11}}\\\Rightarrow P=-5.39323\times 10^{33}$

Potential energy at perihelion is $-5.39323\times 10^{33}\ J$

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv_a^2\\\Rightarrow K=\frac{1}{2}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}(29274.93096)^2\\\Rightarrow K=2.56249\times 10^{33}\ J$

Kinetic energy at aphelion is $2.56249\times 10^{33}\ J$

Potential energy is given by

$P=-\frac{GMm}{r_a}\\\Rightarrow P=-\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.989\times 10^{30}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}}{1.521\times 10^{11}}\\\Rightarrow P=-5.21594\times 10^{33}$

Potential energy at aphelion is $-5.21594\times 10^{33}\ J$

You throw a glove straight upward to celebrate a victory. Its initial kinetic energy is K and it reaches a maximum height h. Wha

Rasek [7]

Answer:

K/2

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mechanical energy states that the sum of the kinetic and potential energies is a constant at any point.

At maximum height, the glove has purely potential energy but at the bottom, it has purely kinetic energy.

The potential energy at the top = kinetic energy at the bottom. The potential energy is given by

$PE = mgh$

At half height, this potential energy is

$PE = \frac{1}{2}mgh$

At this height, PE + KE = Constant = KE at bottom or PE at maximum height.

$mgh = \frac{1}{2}mgh +KE$

$KE = \frac{1}{2}mgh = K/2$
