What we see as "moonlight" is really reflected sunlight. True or False?

1 answer:

6 0

Yes, this is true. The only celestial body in the Milky Way universe that produces light is the Sun. It is the sole source of light for all the other planets and satellites. Our moon only 'borrows' light from the Sun. The surface of the moon acts as the mirror at which the Sun's light is reflected.

A 21 N block rests on a horizontal surface. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the surface and the block ar

Georgia [21]

Answer:

a)15 N

b)12.6 N

Explanation:

Given that

Weight of block (wt)= 21 N

μs = 0.80 and μk = 0.60

We know that

Maximum value of static friction given as

Frs = μs m g = μs .wt

by putting the values

Frs= 0.8 x 21 = 16.8 N

Value of kinetic friction

Frk= μk m g = μk .wt

By putting the values

Frk= 0.6 x 21 = 12.6 N

When T = 15 N

Static friction Frs= 16.8 N

Here the value of static friction is more than tension T .It means that block will not move and the value of friction force will be equal to the tension force.

Friction force = 15 N

When T= 35 N

Here value of tension force is more than maximum value of static friction that is why block will move .We know that when body is in motion then kinetic friction will act on the body.so the value of friction force in this case will be 12.6 N

Friction force = 12.6 N

An empty parallel plate capacitor is connected between the terminals of a 18.8-V battery and charges up. The capacitor is then d

Basile [38]

Answer:

$p.d' = 37.6 V$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Potential difference $p.d=18.8V$

New Capacitor $C_1=C_2/2$

Generally the equation for Capacitor capacitance is mathematically given by

$C=\frac{eA}{d}$

Generally the equation for New p.d' is mathematically given by

$C_2V=C_1*p.d'$

$p.d' = 2V$

$p.d'= 2 * 18.8$

$p.d' = 37.6 V$
