What is a lunar eclipse 2 paragraph

Physics
1 answer:
konstantin123 [22]3 years ago
5 0

A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes directly behind Earth and into its shadow. This can occur only when the Sun, Earth, and the Moon are aligned (in syzygy) exactly or very closely so, with the planet in between. Hence, a lunar eclipse can occur only on the night of a full moon. The type and length of an eclipse depend on the Moon's proximity to either node of its orbit.

During a total lunar eclipse, Earth completely blocks direct sunlight from reaching the Moon. The only light reflected from the lunar surface has been refracted by Earth's atmosphere. This light appears reddish for the same reason that a sunset or sunrise does: the Rayleigh scattering of bluer light. Due to this reddish color, a totally eclipsed Moon is sometimes called a blood moon.

M (b) Calculate the speed of an electron that is accelerated through the same electric potential difference.
MaRussiya [10]

The speed of a electron that is accelerated from rest through an electric potential difference of 120 V  is 6.49\times10^6m/s

<h3>How to calculate the speed of the electron?</h3>

We know, that the  energy of the system is always conserved.

Using the Law of Conservation of energy,

\triangle K+\triangle U=0

Here, K is the kinetic energy and U is the potential energy.

Now, substituting the formula of U and K, we get:

(\frac{1}{2} mv^2)+(-q\triangle V) =0------(1)

Here,

m is the mass of the electron

v is the speed of the electron

q is the charge on the electron

V is the potential difference

Let v_f and v_i represent the final and initial speed.

Here, v_i =0

Solving for v_f, we get:

v_f=\sqrt{\frac{-2q\triangle V}{m} }

=\sqrt{\frac{2\times1.602\times10^{-19}\times 120}{9.109\times10^{-31}} }

=6.49\times10^6m/s

During an exothermic reaction; light and heat are released into the environment.

An exothermic reaction is one in which heat is released to the environment. This heat can be physically observed sometimes like in an a combustion reaction.

In an exothermic reaction, the enthalpy of the reactants is greater than the enthalpy of the products.

This heat lost is sometimes felt as the hotness of the vessel in which the reaction has taken place.

In conclusion, light and heat are released into the environment in an exothermic reaction.

Convert the volume 8.06 in.3 to m3, recalling that1in. =2.54cmand100cm=1m. Answer in units of m3.
galina1969 [7]
1 in=2.54 cm=(2.54 cm)(1 m/100 cm)=0.0254 m
Therefore:
1 in=0.0254 m
1 in³=(0.0254 m)³=1.6387064 x 10⁻⁵ m³

Therefore:

8.06 in³=(8.06 in³)(1.6387064 x 10⁻⁵ m³ / 1 in³)≈1.321 x 10⁻⁴ m³.

Answer: 8.06 in³=1.321 x 10⁻⁴ m³
