5 0

Answer:

a. light from the sun reflects off the moon as it orbits earth.  

Explanation:

Moon does not have its own light, it reflects the sunlight falling on it. Phases of moon are the different shapes of the moon that we see. There are mainly 5 phases of moon: New moon, Crescent, Half moon, gibbous and full moon. These shapes are due to the illuminated portion of the moon (by the Sun) that is visible from the Earth.

Thus, option a is correct.

If "0.3 minute" is correct, then it's 9,543,272 Joules.

If it's supposed to say "0.3 SECOND", then the KE is 2,651 Joules.

A 70 ft rope hangs from a helicopter above this room. The rope has a mass per unit length of 2 lb/ft. In order to be rescued fro
Mrac [35]

Answer:

The work done to get you safely away from the test is  2.47 X 10⁴ J.

Explanation:

Given;

length of the rope, L = 70 ft

mass per unit length of the rope, μ = 2 lb/ft

your mass, W = 120 lbs

mass of the 70 ft rope  = 2 lb/ft x 70 ft

                                         = 140 lbs.

Total mass to be pulled to the helicopter, M = 120 lbs  + 140 lbs  

                                                                       = 260 lbs

The work done is calculated from work-energy theorem as follows;

W = Mgh

where;

g is acceleration due gravity = 32.17 ft/s²

h is height the total mass is raised = length of the rope = 70 ft

W = 260 Lb x 32.17 ft/s²  x 70 ft

W = 585494 lb.ft²/s²

1 lb.ft²/s² = 0.0421 J

W = 585494 lb.ft²/s²  = 2.47 X 10⁴ J.

Therefore, the work done to get you safely away from the test is  2.47 X 10⁴ J.
