When the moon is waxing it means that the sunlit fraction we can see from earth is getting larger. when it is wanning, the sunlit fraction is getting smaller and even as the phases of the moon change the total amount of sunlight the moon gets remains the same. half the moon is always in sunlight just as half the earth is always in sunlight. but because the period of rotation for the moon is the same as its period of revolution, on earth we always see the same side of the moon. If you lived on the far side of the moon, you would see the sun for half of each lunar day, but you would never see the earth.
Answer;
- June 21
At 45 degrees latitude, the angle of the noon sun is lowest and the length of daylight is shortest on June 21.
Explanation;
-On June 21 you will note that the Northern Hemisphere is pitched toward the Sun. This means that the Sun's vertical ray is striking the Earth at the Tropic of Cancer (23.5 degrees N).
-Days tend to get longer in the northern hemisphere from December 21 to June 21, and then grow shorter from June 21 to December 21. The June solstice is the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere and the winter solstice in the Southern Hemisphere. The date varies between June 20 and June 22, depending on the year, and the local time zone.
Answer: 2.73m/s
Explanation:
Potential energy of the water is turned into kinetic energy
mgd = mv^2/2
Where m = mass of water
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s^2
d = depth of the water = 0.38m
v = velocity of leaking water
m × 9.81 × 0.38 = mv^2/
eliminate m on both sides and multiply through by 2
7.4456 = v^2
v = sqrt(7.4456)
v = 2.73m/s
10 m/s2 for a distance of 65.2 ft
Answer:
<em>I must travel with a speed of 2.97 x 10^8 m/s</em>
Explanation:
Sine the spacecraft flies at the same speed in the to and fro distance of the journey, then the time taken will be 6 months plus 6 months
Time that elapses on the spacecraft = 1 year
On earth the people have advanced 120 yrs
According to relativity, the time contraction on the spacecraft is gotten from
= 
where
is the time that elapses on the spacecraft = 120 years
= time here on Earth = 1 year
is the ratio v/c
where
v is the speed of the spacecraft = ?
c is the speed of light = 3 x 10^8 m/s
substituting values, we have
120 = 1/
squaring both sides of the equation, we have
14400 = 1/
14400 - 14400
= 1
14400 - 1 = 14400
14399 = 14400
= 14399/14400 = 0.99
= 0.99
substitute β = v/c
v/c = 0.99
but c = 3 x 10^8 m/s
v = 0.99c = 0.99 x 3 x 10^8 = <em>2.97 x 10^8 m/s</em>
