AleksAgata [21]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

The moon is a natural satellite of the earth, which performs rotational and revolutionary motions simultaneously. As the earth rotates about its axis, the moon rotates round it. But revolves round the Sun, as the earth also revolves round the Sun.

The motion of the moon causes series of its phases. Some major phases of the moon are, new moon, 1st quarter, full moon, and 3rd quarter (last quarter).

Since the moon reflects the light from the Sun, the face of the moon reflecting the light from the Sun changes gradually with respect to its motion.

At new moon, the face of the moon reflect no light. But reflects 100% at full moon. While both 1st and 3rd quarters show partial reflections.

Ultraviolet rays are used to _____.
NeTakaya

Answer:

Grow plants where little light is available

Explanation:

The plants need the ultraviolet rays in order to be able to survive and develop. The need mainly comes from the dependence of these rays for production of food, in a process known as photosynthesis. The plants are producers, thus they create their own food. In order to be able to do that they are using the ultraviolet rays, as well as water, and carbon dioxide. By combining them, the plants manage to create glucose for them, and that is their food source. The plants that are kept at places where there's not enough light are often exposed to ultraviolet rays so that they are able to perform the process of photosynthesis and grow properly.

If the current in each wire is the same, which wire produces the strongest magnetic field?
lions [1.4K]

Answer: option 4: A wire that is 2-mm thick and coiled.

Explanation:

The current in each wire is same. The magnetic field due to a current carrying wire increases if the wire is coiled with the more number of turns. A thick wire would cause low resistance to the current. Hence, a 2-mm thick wire which is coiled would produce the strongest magnetic field.

Angelina jumps off a stool. As she is falling, the Earth’s gravitational force on her is larger in magnitude than the gravitatio
valentinak56 [21]
The answer is True. The amount force exerted by any object is directly proportional to its mass. This means that our planet is exerting more gravitational force to Angelina, and Angelina is also exerting a gravitational force on our planet directly proportional to her mass. Angelina is actually falling towards the center of the earth,and also our planet is also moving towards Angelina, but it seems negligible with respect to Angelina.Our Sun is so massive that it held our planet in its orbit because of its gravitational force.

A projectile is fired horizontally from a height of 78.4 m at a speed of 300 m/sec. How far did it travel horizontally before hi
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using the formula for calculating range expressed as;

R = U√2H/g

U is the speed = 300m/s

H is the maximum height = 78.4m

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

Substitute into the fromula;

R = 300√2(78.4)/9.8

R = 300 √(16)

R = 300*4

R = 1200m

Hence the projectile travelled 1200m before hitting the ground

a scale model of the solar system where 50 cm represents 1.0x10 to the fifth km is actual distance what would be the dimension o
Fofino [41]

The distance between Mars and the Sun in the scale model would be 1140 m

Explanation:

In this scale model, we have:

x_1 = 50 cm represents an actual distance of

d_1 = 1.0\cdot 10^5 km

The actual distance between Mars and the Sun is 228 million km, therefore

d_2=228\cdot 10^6 km

On the scale model, this would corresponds to a distance of x_2.

Therefore, we can write the following proportion:

\frac{x_1}{d_1}=\frac{x_2}{d_2}

And solving for x_2, we find:

x_2=\frac{x_1 d_2}{d_1}=\frac{(50)(228\cdot 10^6)}{1\cdot 10^5}=1.14\cdot 10^5 cm = 1140 m
