It is because the moon orbits around the sun so different parts of the moon is visible.

if the resistance of a car headlight is 15 ohm and the current through it is 0.60, what is the voltage across the headlight?

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

9 volts (assuming 0.60 is in Amperes)

Explanation:

Recall that Ohms law can be expressed as

V = IR, where

V = voltage,

I = current (given as 0.6. I'm going to assume that the units is Amperes because it is not given)

R = resistance (given as 15 ohm)

substituting the above values into the formula

V = IR

V = (0.6)(15)

V = 9 Volts

Ted William drops a ball from 14.5 meter to a desk that is 1.9 meters tall. What is the final speed of the ball right before it

makkiz [27]

Answer:

15.7m/s

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we use the right motion equation.

Here, we have been given the height through which the ball drops;

Height of drop = 14.5m - 1.9m = 12.6m

The right motion equation is;

V² = U² + 2gh

V is the final velocity

U is the initial velocity = 0

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

h is the height

Now insert the parameters and solve;

V² = 0² + 2 x 9.8 x 12.6

V² = 246.96

V = √246.96 = 15.7m/s

A 7.00-kg object accelerates from rest to a final velocity in 55 seconds. If the magnitude of the

Len [333]

Answer:

The final velocity of the object is 330 m/s.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we first must find the acceleration of the object. We can do this using Newton's Second Law, given by the following equation:

F = ma

If we plug in the values that we are given in the problem, we get:

42 = 7 (a)

To solve for a, we simply divide both sides of the equation by 7.

42/7 = 7a/7

a = 6 m/s^2

Next, we should write out all of the information we have and what we are looking for.

a = 6 m/s^2

v1 = 0 m/s

t = 55 s

v2 = ?

We can use a kinematic equation to solve this problem. We should use:

v2 = v1 + at

If we plug in the values listed above, we should get:

v2 = 0 + (6)(55)

Next, we should solve the problem by performing the multiplication on the right side of the equation.

v2 = 330 m/s

Therefore, the final velocity reached by the object is 330 m/s.

Hope this helps!

A soap bubble usually pops because some part of it becomes too thin due to evaporation or drainage of fluid. The change in thick

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

To understand why the change in thickness also changes the color of light the bubble reflects, we definitely know that

mλ = dsinθ

when d sin θ = mλ, we expect constructive interference

d = distance between the slits

θ = the angle relative to the incident direction

m = order of the interference

Hence, a change in the thickness will also cause a change in the wavelength, and as wavelength changes, various colors are generated.

The light's path difference is therefore generated as a result of the thickness variation of the soap bubble.
