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.

Because of the anode heel effect, where is the intensity of the x-ray beam the greatest?
Aneli [31]

Answer:

Along the anode-cathode axis

Explanation:

The Anode Heel Effect, in an X-ray tube states that the direction of emission of X-rays by the anode along the cathode-anode axis causes a variation in the intensity of X-rays.

The geometry of the anode causes the X-ray emitted perpendicular to the cathode-anode axis less intense than the X-rays emitted towards the cathode along the axis.

A electric heater that draws 13.5 a of dc current has been left on for 10 min. how many electrons that have passed through the h
kicyunya [14]
By definition, Ampere is a unit of current which is a measure of the amount of charge passing through a point in a circuit per unit  of time, with an equivalent charge of 1.602 x 10^(-19) Coulomb per electron. To determine the number of electrons passing through the heater, we use the definition of the current. We calculate as follows:

13.5 A = 13.5 C per second
Charge = 13.5 C/s (10 min) ( 60 s / 1 min)
Charge = 8100 C 

Number of electrons = 8100 C / 1.602 x 10^(-19) C per electron
Number of electrons = 5.1 x 10^22 electrons

Therefore, there are 5.1 x10^22 electrons that assed through the heater for 10 minutes.
