Answer:

The greatest gravitational potential energy is at apogee. The greatest kinetic energy is at perigee. Total Energy is constant.

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy is at its greatest when the satellite is farthest  from the earth, this point is called the apogee. And at this point the kinetic energy will be at its minimum.

The kinetic energy is greatest when the satellite is closest to the earth, this point is the perigee. And at this point the gravitational potential energy will be at a minimum level.

the total energy is the sum of the gravitational potential energy and the kinetic energy.As the satellite orbits the earth, the kinetic energy and the gravitational potential energymay be interchanged but the total energy will remain unchanged.

What is the Wt% of SiO2 in augite?<br><br> (Ca, Fe, Mg, Na)(Mg,Fe,Al) (Si,Al)2 O6
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

The weight% of SiO_2 in augite is 13.16 %.

Explanation:

Atomic mass of calcium = 40 g/mol

Atomic mass of iron = 56 g/mol

Atomic mass of magnesium = 24 g/mol

Atomic mass of sodium = 23 g/mol

Atomic mass of aluminum = 27 g/mol

Atomic mass of silicon = 28 g/mol

Atomic mass of oxygen = 16 g/mol

Mass of SiO_2=28 g/mol+ 2\time 16 g/mol=60 g/mol

Molar mass of the augite (Ca, Fe, Mg, Na)(Mg,Fe,Al)(Si,Al)_2 O_6 = M

M=40 g/mol+2\times 56 g/mol+2\times 24 g/mol+23 g/mol+3\times 27 g/mol+2\times 28 g/mol+6\times 16 g/mol=456 g/mol

Weight% of SiO_2 in augite:

w\%=\frac{60 g/mol}{456 g/mol}\times 100=13.16\%

The Northwest Territories could apply for statehood with the Confederation when each of their populations reached __________.
Marianna [84]

The Northwest Territories could apply for statehood with the Confederation when each of their populations reached 60,000 free inhabitants, including women.

<h3>What does applying for statehood mean under the Northwest Ordinance?</h3>

It stated that each district would be eligible for statehood whenever its population matched that of the least populated current state and that each district would be able to send one representative to Congress once it reached a population of 20,000. (The Regulation of 1787 replaced this ordinance.)

Its name was changed to the Northwest Ordinance and it established a way for the territories northwest of the Ohio River, which included what would eventually become the states of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, and a portion of Minnesota, to become independent states.
