It is the same moon, the moon is the same throughout all phases. "new moon" is the name of the phase where no sunlight is reflecting off the moon. 

<span>the phase of the moon when it is in conjunction with the sun and invisible from earth, or shortly thereafter when it appears as a slender crescent.</span>

We have only one moon. the new moon means a full moon.
the shapes of the moon are different because of the way the sun hits it.

hope this answers your question!

Explain how we measure temperatures in our daily lives.
AnnyKZ [126]

Many devices have been invented to accurately measure temperature. It all started with the establishment of a temperature scale. This scale transformed the measurement of temperature into meaningful numbers.

In the early years of the eighteenth century, Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686-1736) created the Fahrenheit scale. He set the freezing point of water at 32 degrees and the boiling point at 212 degrees. These two points formed the anchors for his scale.


Later in that century, around 1743, Anders Celsius (1701-1744) invented the Celsius scale. Using the same anchor points, he determined the freezing temperature for water to be 0 degree and the boiling temperature 100 degrees. The Celsius scale is known as a Universal System Unit. It is used throughout science and in most countries.


There is a limit to how cold something can be. The Kelvin scale is designed to go to zero at this minimum temperature. The relationships between the different temperature scales are:



oK = 273.15 + oC        oC = (5/9)*(oF-32)        oF = (9/5)*oC+32


 oF oC oK

Water boils 212 100 373

Room Temperature 72 23 296

Water Freezes 32 0 273

Absolute Zero -460 -273 0

At a temperature of Absolute Zero there is no motion and no heat. Absolute zero is where all atomic and molecular motion stops and is the lowest temperature possible. Absolute Zero occurs at 0 degrees Kelvin or -273.15 degrees Celsius or at -460 degrees Fahrenheit. All objects emit thermal energy or heat unless they have a temperature of absolute zero.


If we want to understand what temperature means on the molecular level, we should remember that temperature is the average energy of the molecules that composes a substance. The atoms and molecules in a substance do not always travel at the same speed. This means that there is a range of energy (the energy of motion) among the molecules. In a gas, for example, the molecules are traveling in random directions at a variety of speeds - some are fast and some are slow. Sometimes these molecules collide with each other. When this happens the higher speed molecule transfers some of its energy to the slower molecule causing the slower molecule to speed up and the faster molecule to slow down. If more energy is put into the system, the average speed of the molecules will increase and more thermal energy or heat will be produced. So, higher temperatures mean a substance has higher average molecular motion. We do not feel or detect a bunch of different temperatures for each molecule which has a different speed. What we measure as the temperature is always related to the average speed of the molecules in a system

Will the positioning of your Slinky along the east-west, north-south, or some other orientation affect your readings? Why?
Oxana [17]

Positioning your Slinky along any direction different from its initial position will affect your reading, because there will be change in the magnetic field.

<h3>Effect of magnet on Slinky</h3>

If the Slinky is made of an iron alloy, it can be magnetized by itself. Moving the Slinky around can cause a change in the magnetic field, even if no current is flowing.

When there is a change in the magnetic field, the reading changes.

At any point, you change the orientation of the Slinky, you will need to zero the reading or adjust the Slinky back to its initial position, even if the sensor does not move.

Thus, Positioning your Slinky along any direction that is different to its initial position will affect your reading because there will be change in the magnetic field.

If a voltmeter has a less than ideal resistance, say 1 MΩ, and is used to measure the voltage across a resistor of a comparable
Naddik [55]

Answer:

As the difference between the resistance of voltmeter and the resistance being measured gets reduced the error in the reading of the voltmeter gets increased.

Explanation:

An ideal voltmeter has infinite parallel resistance and because of this it doesn't draw any current from the circuit of measurement which means it will measure the exact voltage across the elements.

But practically speaking, a real voltmeter doesn't has infinite resistance therefore, all the practical voltmeters face loading effect to some extent.

As the difference between the resistance of voltmeter and the resistance being measured gets reduced the error in the reading of the voltmeter gets increased. This is why we want to have a greater value of voltmeter resistance, ideally infinite so that the corresponding error is minimized.

Lets consider the given scenario,

A voltmeter has 1 MΩ parallel resistance and the resistance of of measuring element is 500 kΩ or 0.5 MΩ

lets suppose the supplied voltage is 1 V.

First lets assume that the voltmeter is ideal and it has infinite resistance, so in this case voltmeter will measure a voltage of 1 V across the 0.5 MΩ resistor.

Now consider the loading effect, when we connect the voltmeter across the 0.5 MΩ resistor they both become parallel so the resistance is

R = (1*0.5)/(1+0.5)

R = 0.33 MΩ

As you can see the voltmeter will see a reduced resistance and the corresponding voltage also reduces because resistance and voltage are directly proportional.

Therefore, it is preferred to have a very high parallel resistance of the voltmeter.

Harrizon [31]
<span>By algebra, d = [(v_f^2) - (v_i^2)]/2a. Thus, d = [(0^2)-(15^2)]/(2*-7) d = [0-(225)]/(-14) d = 225/14 d = 16.0714 m With 2 significant figures in the problem, the car travels 16 meters during deceleration.</span>
