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 76 N crate is hung from a spring

lutik1710 [3]

Answer: 0.169 (3 s.f.)

Explanation:

Force = 76 N

Spring constant = 450 N/m

Extension/displacement = x

Hooke's law states that: F = kx

Therefore, 76 = 450 X x

76/450 = x

0.169 (3 s.f.) = x

When an average force F is exerted over a certain distance on a shopping cart of mass m, its kinetic energy increases by 12mv2.

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

A) $d=\dfrac{1}{2F}mv^2$

B) $\Delta KE'=2\times \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

Explanation:

Given that

Force = F

Increase in Kinetic energy = $\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

$\Delta KE=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

we know that

Work done by all the forces =change in the kinetic energy

a)

Lets distance = d

We know work done by force F

W= F .d

F.d=ΔKE

$F.d=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

$d=\dfrac{1}{2F}mv^2$

b)

If the force become twice

F' = 2 F

F'.d=ΔKE'

2 F .d = ΔKE' ( F.d =Δ KE)

2ΔKE = ΔKE'

$\Delta KE'=2\times \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

Therefore the final kinetic energy will become the twice if the force become twice.
