Answer:

Option-

In a lunar eclipse, the Moon enters the shadow of Earth from the west side of the orbit.

Explanation:

Lunar Eclipse:

The lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth's position inside the orbital system or pattern of the solar system. As the Moon comes behind the Earth in more simplified words, as the Moon comes from the west side of the orbit. While the shadow of the Earth falls on the Moon's body.

For example:

The lunar eclipse occurs in the US in a very specific manner as we observe the lunar eclipse starts from the west coast of the United states, as it goes all the way towards the east coast of the state or the country.

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

In lunar eclipse, the Moon enter the shadow of Earth from the west side. This happens because that the direction of moon's orbit around the Earth. Just observe moon at a Night , note its apparent position in the night sky and one the next night note its new position, you find that moon has moved eastward. Therefore in Moon shadow the earth from west to east

Two objects having masses m1 and m2 are connected to each other as shown in the figure and are released from rest. There is no f

tankabanditka [31]

Answer: $m_1g$

Explanation:

Given

Two masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ is released and there is tension T in the string

Suppose a is the acceleration of the system

Therefore from Diagram

For $m_1$

$T-m_1g=m_1a$

$T=m_1(g+a)$ ------1

for m_2 body

$m_2g-T=m_2a$

$T=m_2(g-a)$ -------2

From above two Equation it is said that Tension is greater than m_1g and less than m_2g

$m_1g$

Is kinetic energy scalar quantity

VashaNatasha [74]

Yes, Kinetic Energy is a scalar quantity because the direction is not needed. A scalar quantity is one dimensional measurement.

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy is a scalar quantity that means it has only a magnitude and no direction.
Energy has a size but no direction; two objects can have the same kinetic energy but they travel in opposite directions.
The formula of Kinetic Energy is

K.E = $\frac{1}{2} mv^{2}$

Mass is a scalar quantity and velocity is a vector quantity.
squaring velocity will make vector to scalar quantity.

Which most likely indicate a chemical change has occurred ?

Allushta [10]

If a new substance suddenly appears that wasn't there originally,
then a chemical change has occurred.

Like for example, (this is the only example I can think of right now):

-- You leave your bicycle outside in the rain, and it gets wet, and
a few days later there's some rust on it.

-- You scrape off some of the rust, take it to school, give it to the
Chemistry teacher, and ask her to analyze it and tell you what it
is. Later that day, she tells you it's a substance called "Iron oxide".

-- Where did that come from ? There was no iron oxide there.
There was only iron in the bicycle, and air, and water.

-- The iron oxide formed from a chemical change when the iron
on the surface of the bike combined with some of the oxygen in
the air, and molecules of a new substance were created. (For
some reason, the presence of water makes this chemical reaction
go faster.)
