<span>Three-fourths of the illuminated side of the moon be visible
from Earth when the moon is at position-B.  (choice-B)


Notice the particularly egregious screw-up on the drawing at the
"Third Quarter" position.  There, the drawing shows the illuminated 
side of the moon AWAY from the sun, and the dark side of the moon
TOWARD the sun.  That's about as silly as you can get.  </span>

Answer:

B) B      

Explanation:

As the moon revolves about the Earth, we see different shapes of the moon everyday.  Phases of moon occur as different portion of illuminated side of the moon is visible from the earth.

According to diagram, at position A, there is full moon phase.

At position C, the illuminated side does not face the earth, so new phase occurs.

At position D, the moon is moving from new moon phase to half moon, so it will be crescent phase.

At position B, the moon is moving from full moon to half moon phase. So at B, it will be in gibbous phase - three-fourths of the illuminated side of the moon would be visible.

A load of 1 kW takes a current of 5 A from a 230 V supply. Calculate the power factor.
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Power factor = 0.87 (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Load = 1 Kw = 1000 watt

Current (I) = 5 A

Supply (V) = 230 V

Find:

Power factor.

Computation:

Power factor = watts / (V)(I)

Power factor = 1,000 / (230)(5)

Power factor = 1,000 / (1,150)

Power factor = 0.8695

Power factor = 0.87 (Approx)

An insulator opposes the flow of electricity. Insulators are important to keep us safe from electricity. The wire that carries electricity to your computer or television is covered with a rubber-like insulator that protects you from getting electrocuted. Good insulators include glass, the air, and paper.

Two balls of unequal mass are hung from two springs that are not identical. The springs stretch the same distance as the two sys
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

b) Springs oscillate with the same frequency,

Explanation:

expression for frequency of vibration of mass hanging from a spring is given as follows

f = \frac{1}{2\pi} \times \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }

k is force constant of spring and m is mass vibrating .

In the present case, if mass stretches the spring by x and remains balanced

mg = k x

\frac{k}{m} =\frac{g}{x}

g and x are same  for both cases

\frac{k}{m} will also be same for both cases .

Hence frequency of vibration will also be same for both the balls .
