1. I think you should compare diagrams of moon phases from the textbook to diagrams of moon phases online. Because if you pick D it will take to long and C will help you out whith 3 different things to look at. 

2. The moon changes in appearances from the perspective of people on earth because it's revolving around the planet and the earth is revolving around the sun, so  A. Hoped this helped.

A wooden block contains some nails so that its density is exactly equal to that of water. If it is placed in a tank of water and
belka [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is:

a) remain where it is released

Explanation:

The concept of density seeks to measure the weight of an object in relation to its size. It is the measure of how packed together the particles of that object are. An object placed in a liquid displaces a certain volume of the liquid, based on the relative density of the object and the liquid.

If an object is less dense than a liquid in which it is placed, it displaces a smaller volume of the liquid than its volume, hence only some part of the object will be seen to be under the liquid, the other part will float.

If an object is denser than the liquid in which it is placed, it displaces a larger volume of the liquid than its own volume, making the object to sink and is submerged, sometimes to the bottom of the liquid, but mostly below the point at which it was released.

Finally, if the density of an object and the liquid into which it is submerged is the same. the object's mass per unit volume is the same as the liquid's mass per unit volume, hence the weight and force created due to density will balance and cancel each other out hence making the object to remain where it was submerged.

You set out to design a car that uses the energy stored in a flywheel consisting of a uniform 101-kg cylinder of radius r that h
Ket [755]
Ok, assuming "mj" in the question is Megajoules MJ) you need a total amount of rotational kinetic energy in the fly wheel at the beginning of the trip that equals
(2.4e6 J/km)x(300 km)=7.2e8 J
The expression for rotational kinetic energy is

E = (1/2)Iω²  

where I is the moment of inertia of the fly wheel and ω is the angular velocity.  
So this comes down to finding the value of I that gives the required energy.  We know the mass is 101kg.  The formula for a solid cylinder's moment of inertia is

 I = (1/2)mR²

We want (1/2)Iω² = 7.2e8 J and we know ω is limited to 470 revs/sec.  However, ω must be in radians per second so multiply it by 2π to get 
ω = 2953.1 rad/s
Now let's use this to solve the energy equation, E = (1/2)Iω²,  for I:
I = 2(7.2e8 J)/(2953.1 rad/s)² = 165.12 kg·m²

Now find the radius R,

 165.12 kg·m² = (1/2)(101)R²,
√(2·165/101) = 1.807m

R = 1.807m
