Answer:

b. only within the moon’s umbra.

Explanation:

A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon blocks the sunlight falling on the Earth. It occurs at the bright side of the Earth when Earth passes through the umbra of the moon.

When sun, moon and Earth align in a straight line, the disk of the moon is able to block the disk of the sun causing the sunlight to get blocked. Shadow of moon falls on the Earth. A total eclipse occurs when the sun is complete blocked and there is total darkness. It is visible from those areas which pass through the moon's umbra.

Hey! Hope that this helps. I'm fairly certain the answer is B, because I know that it's not visible from all over the earth, so that eliminates A, but doing some research I found out that an observer in the umbra experiences a total eclipse.

In the first stage of a two-stage Carnot engine, energy is absorbed as heat Q1 at temperature T1 = 500 K, work W1 is done, and e

Nataly [62]

Answer:

Efficiency = 52%

Explanation:

Given:

First stage

heat absorbed, Q₁ at temperature T₁ = 500 K

Heat released, Q₂ at temperature T₂ = 430 K

and the work done is W₁

Second stage

Heat released, Q₂ at temperature T₂ = 430 K

Heat released, Q₃ at temperature T₃ = 240 K

and the work done is W₂

Total work done, W = W₁ + W₂

Now,

The efficiency is given as:

$\eta=\frac{\textup{Total\ work\ done}}{\textup{Energy\ provided}}$

Work done = change in heat

thus,

W₁ = Q₁ - Q₂

W₂ = Q₂ - Q₃

Thus,

$\eta=\frac{(Q_1-Q_2)\ +\ (Q_2-Q_3)}{Q_1}}$

$\eta=1-\frac{(Q_1-Q_3)}{Q_1}}$

$\eta=1-\frac{(Q_3)}{Q_1}}$

also,

$\frac{Q_1}{T_1}=\frac{Q_2}{T_2}=\frac{Q_3}{T_3}$

$\frac{T_3}{T_1}=\frac{Q_3}{Q_1}$

thus,

$\eta=1-\frac{(T_3)}{T_1}}$

thus,

$\eta=1-\frac{(240\ K)}{500\ K}}$

$\eta=0.52$

Efficiency = 52%

"2.40 A pressure of 4 × 106N/m2 is applied to a body of water that initially filled a 4300 cm3 volume. Estimate its volume after

wel

Answer:Final volume after pressure is applied=4,292cm3

Explanation:

Using the bulk modulus formulae

We have that The bulk modulus of waTer is given as

K =-V dP/dV

Where K, the bulk modulus of water = 2.15 x 10^9N/m^2

2.15 x 10^9N/m^2= - 4,300 x 4 × 106N/m2 / dV

dV = - 4,300 x 4 × 10^6N/m^2/ 2.15 x 10^9N/m^2

dV (change in volume)= -8.000cm^3

Final volume after pressure is applied,

V= V+ dV

V= 4300cm3 + (-8.000cm3)

=4300cm3 - 8.000cm3

Final Volume, V =4,292cm3

El dormitorio de Pablo es rectangular, y sus lados miden 3 y 4 metros. Ha decidido dividirlo en dos partes triangulares con una

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

c = 5 m

Explanation:

this exercise you want to divide the rectangular room into two triangular rooms

the area of triangles is

A = ½ base height

A = ½ 4 3

A = 6 m²

the length of the curtain can be found using the Pythagorean theorem

c² = b² + a²

c = √ (4² + 3²)

c = 5 m

this is the length of the curtain

A proton moving at 3.90 106 m/s through a magnetic field of magnitude 1.80 T experiences a magnetic force of magnitude 7.20 10-1

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

$\theta=40^0$

Explanation:

The magnitude of the magnetic force is

$F_m=evB\sin\theta$

To find the angle, we make $\sin\theta$ subject of the formula

$\implies \sin\theta=\frac{F_m}{evB}=\frac{7.20\times 10^{-13}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 3.90\times 10^6\times 1.80}$

$\implies \sin\theta=0.641025641$

$\therefore \theta=\sin^{-1}=39.8683^0\\\implies \theta\approxeq 40^0$
