Answer:

when the Sun illuminates half of the Moon it must be at 90°

Explanation:

The Moon has a circular motion around the Earth and the relative position of the sun, the earth and the moon create the lunar phases.

For this case when the Sun illuminates half of the Moon it must be at 90°, this angle changes with the movement of the moon, it is zero degree for the new moon and 180° for the full moon

Taya2010 [7]

The speed of the ball with respect to Dina is 0.800c.

A frame of reference is a set of reference points—geometric points whose positions are known mathematically and physically—that define the origin, orientation, and scale of an abstract coordinate system.

If a body does not continuously adjust its position in relation to its environment throughout the course of time, it is said to be at rest.

In frame S', Dina and Owen are at rest.

The speed of the ball with respect to Owen, u =0.800c

The speed of the fram S' with respect to frame S,  v = 0.600c

Distance between Dina and Owen, L(p) = 1.8 × 10¹² m

Speed of light, c = 3 × 10⁸ m/s

Therefore, the speed of the ball according to Dina is 0.800c. As Dina and Owen are in the same frame.

If a boulder has a weight of 675,000 N what is it’s mass
Anarel [89]

Weight = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity where the object is)

You didn't tell us WHERE the boulder is, so I have to assume that it's on Mars, where the acceleration of gravity is 3.71 m/s².

675,000 N = (mass) (3.71 m/s²)

Mass = (675,000 N) / (3.71 m/s²)

<em>Mass = 181,941 kilograms</em>

The same weight on Earth would suggest a mass of only 68,807 kg, so you can see how important it is to know where you are when you make your measurements.
