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

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 proton has been accelerated from rest through a potential difference of -1000 v . part a what is the proton's kinetic energy,
wlad13 [49]
We can apply the law of conservation of energy here. The total energy of the proton must remain constant, so the sum of the variation of electric potential energy and of kinetic energy of the proton must be zero:
\Delta U + \Delta K=0
which means
\Delta K = - \Delta U
The variation of electric potential energy is equal to the product between the charge of the proton (q=1eV) and the potential difference (\Delta V=-1000 V):
\Delta U = q \Delta V=(1 eV)(-1000 V)=-1000 eV
Therefore, the kinetic energy gained by the proton is
\Delta K = -(-1000 eV)=1000 eV
<span>And since the initial kinetic energy of the proton was zero (it started from rest), then this 1000 eV corresponds to the final kinetic energy of the proton.</span>

The two blocks in oscillate on a frictionless surface with a period of 1.5 s. The upper block just begins to slip when the ampli
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

0.72

Explanation:

T = Time period of oscillation = 1.5 s

Angular frequency is given as

w = \frac{2\pi }{T}\\w = \frac{2(3.14) }{1.5}\\w = 4.2 rad/s

A = Amplitude of oscillation = 40 cm = 0.40 m

\mu = Coefficient of static friction = ?

a = acceleration of the block

m = mass of the block

Maximum acceleration of the block is given as

a = Aw^{2}

frictional force is given as

f = \mu mg

As per newton's second law

f = ma \\\\\mu mg = ma \\\mu g = a\\\mu g = Aw^{2}\\\mu (9.8) = (0.40)(4.2)^{2}\\\mu = 0.72

What major body of water did the new states of kentucky and tennessee
chubhunter [2.5K]

The major water body given access to the new states of Kentucky and tennessee was the Mississippi river.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Mississippi river serves to be the <em>second ranked</em> longest river located in the North America. the access was given to United States by the Kentucky state and Tennessee state.

The access granted was requested in order to serve the purpose of<em> trade</em> across. The Mississippi river have been often remarked as the super highway to the sea. <em>Irrigation of crops with the transportation aid along with the food availability</em>, all calls for the grant access to the major water body.

Find the ratio of the lengths of the two mathematical pendulums, if the ratio of periods is 1.5​
juin [17]

Answer:

The ratio of lengths of the two mathematical pendulums is 9:4.

Explanation:

It is given that,

The ratio of periods of two pendulums is 1.5

Let the lengths be L₁ and L₂.

The time period of a simple pendulum is given by :

T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{l}{g}}

or

T^2=4\pi^2\dfrac{l}{g}\\\\l=\dfrac{T^2g}{4\pi^2}

Where

l is length of the pendulum

l\propto T^2

or

\dfrac{l_1}{l_2}=(\dfrac{T_1}{T_2})^2 ....(1)

ATQ,

\dfrac{T_1}{T_2}=1.5

Put in equation (1)

\dfrac{l_1}{l_2}=(1.5)^2\\\\=\dfrac{9}{4}

So, the ratio of lengths of the two mathematical pendulums is 9:4.

Which best compares radiation and conduction?
Karolina [17]

Answer:

The statements that best compares radiation and conduction are the following: both transfer thermal energy from warm objects to cooler objects and both can transfer energy through matter. The difference is that conduction is through direct heat transfer; whereas, radiation transfers heat through waves.
