Answer:

D. The position of the first quarter moon and third quarter moon have been interchanged.    

Explanation:

Phases of moon are the shapes of illuminated portion of the moon that is visible from the earth.

New moon occurs when the moon comes between the earth and the sun. The lit portion faces away from the earth.

After new moon, waxing crescent phase occurs followed by first quarter. In the first quarter, half moon is visible.

Waxing gibbous occurs which is when more than half and less than full face of the moon is visible. This is followed by full moon when earth comes between moon and the sun.

The waning gibbous phase is visible for next few days till the third quarter phase. Then waning crescent phase and finally new moon again.

In the given diagram made by Melanie, the position of first quarter and third quarter are wrong and must be interchanged.

Lelechka [254]
Given that the design is not shown, for traditional nuclear reactors with control rods, the best way to meet an increased demand for energy would be to raise the control rods so that less neutrons are absorbed.

So, the most reasonable answer to the question is B.

A watermelon is blown into three pieces by a large firecracker. Two pieces of equal mass m fly away perpendicular to one another
laiz [17]

Answer

given,

watermelon blown into three pieces

two pieces of mass m

both pieces speed = v = 31 m/s

mass of third piece = 3 m

using conservation of mass

0 = m V \hat{i} + m V \hat{j} + (3\ m)V_3

V_3 = \dfrac{V}{3}(-\hat{i}-\hat{j})

V_3 = \dfrac{V}{3}\sqrt{1^2+1^2}

V_3 = \dfrac{V}{3}\sqrt{2}

velocity of third component

V_3 = \dfrac{31}{3}\sqrt{2}

V_3 = 14.61\ m/s

angle

\theta = tan^{-1}(\dfrac{-1}{-1})

\theta = tan^{-1}(1)

\theta = 45^0

A boy kicks a football with an initial velocity of 28.0 m/s at an angle of 30.0o above the horizontal. what is the highest eleva
sladkih [1.3K]
As the boy kicks the football with an angle, due to the effect of the gravitational force, the ball would follow a projectile path which is parabolic in nature. From this idea, we can derive equations pertaining to the maximum height that the ball would reach. At the maximum height of the ball, the velocity of the ball would be equal to zero. From the equations for projectile motion, we would obtain the equation as follows:

Maximum height = v0^2 sin^2 (theta) / 2g 
Maximum height = (28.0 m / s )^2 sin^2 (30.0) / 2(9.8 m / s^2)
Maximum height = 10 m

The maximum height that the ball would reach would be 10 m.
