Explanation :

It is given that,

The radius of the earth is, r = 3959 mi

From the attached figure, we have to find the distance to the horizon from this point.

So, using Pythagoras theorem:

AP^2=OA^2-OP^2

x^2=(R+h)^2-R^2

x^2=(3959+4.3)^2-(3959)^2

x^2=34065.89\ mi

x=184.57\ mi

The distance to the horizon from this point is 184.57 mi.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer: ANULAR ECLIPSE. Since the moon is too far, it will cover only a part of the sun, and only the external ring of the moon will be visible; this is called anular eclipse.

2) </span><span>anyone looking from the night side of earth can, in principle, see a -->
Answer: LUNAR ECLIPSE. If the moon is the right position, and the Earth's shadow covers partially or totally the moon, then a lunar eclipse occurs.

3) </span><span>during some lunar eclipses, the moon's appearance changes only slightly, because it passes only through the part of earth's shadow called the -->
Answer: PENUMBRA. 

4) </span><span>a ... can occur only when the moon is new and has an angular size larger than the sun in the sky -->
Answer: TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE. When the moon is new, it means it is between the sun and the Earth, and its dark side faces the Earth. If the moon's angular size is also larger than the sun angular size, than it will completely cover the sun, and a total solar eclipse occurs.

5) </span><span>a partial lunar eclipse begins when the moon first touches earth's --> 
Answer: SHADOW. The Earth's shadow will start to cover the moon, and partial lunar eclipse will start.

6) </span><span> a point at which the moon crosses earth's orbital plane is called a(n)  --> 
Answer: NODE. Eclipses occur only when the Moon is at or close to a node, otherwise sun, earth and moon are not "aligned".</span>

PLZ HELP! I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST OR WHATEVER U PPL WANT JUST HELP!
Tpy6a [65]
Newton's first law is sometimes known as the law of inertia. It is the law that states that an object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion unless a force acts upon it. For example, if I was working with a wrench in space an it slipped, it would keep on going in one direction with a constant speed unless it hits something. Hope this helps!

Please choose the answer that describes the scientific notation 5098000
bonufazy [111]

So there is a decimal after the last zero and it looks like this 5098000. You have to move the decimal point six back to get in between the five and the zero which looks like this 5.098000 

<span>Scientific notation is the way that scientists easily handle very large numbers or very small numbers. For example, instead of writing 0.0000000056, we write 5.6 x 10^<span>9</span>.</span>

Being that we moved the decimal six places back the answer is 5.098 x 10^6

Compare and contrast the front limb bones of a human and a bat.
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

From the outside human arms, bird wings, and bats wings look very different. Humans are covered in skin, birds are covered in feathers, and bats are covered in hair. But on the inside there are many similarities among human, bird, and bat forearms. Did you know that humans, birds, and bats have the exact same types of bones in their forearm? These organisms share the same forearm bones because they all evolved from a common ancestor.

Human, bird, and bat forearm bones include the humerus, ulna, radius, carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges.

~i hope this helps~
