-- From January 15 to February 6 is a period of 22 days.

-- The period of the full cycle of moon phases is 29.53 days.

-- So those dates represent (22/29.53) = 74.5% of a full cycle of phases.

-- That's almost exactly 3/4 of a full cycle, so on February 6, the moon would be almost exactly at <em>Third Quarter</em>. That's the <em>left half of a disk </em>(viewed from the northern hemisphere).

Lighting a match changes chemical energy into heat and light. The total amount of energy _____.

Mariulka [41]

Hello.

The answer is <span>remains the same.

</span>The total amount of energy stays the same because the 1st Law of Thermodynamics states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only change forms. <span>So the chemical energy is just being converted into heat and light.

as well.

1. Correct

Explanation

An inclined plane is a flat surface which lie at an angle, Its one end is higher than the other this inclined plane is used as an aid for raising or lowering a load. Staircase also work in similar manner

2. Correct

Explanation

yes all simple machine have a fulcrum

3. Incorrect

Explanation

when we swim that time our arms and legs 'push' the water due to which water displaced in backward direction so her we applied a positive work on the water. According to Newton's Third Law,same magnitude of work is done by water in opposite direction to push us back on our arms and legs. therefore water also does positive work on us.

4. incorrect

Explanation

The force exerted by a machine on an object is input force

5. Incorrect

Explanation

when the input force is greater than the output force that time machine have mechanical advantage of less than 1.

A series RLC circuit has a resonant frequency = 6.00 kHz. When it is driven at a frequency = 8.00 kHz, it has an

ANEK [815]

The resistance (R) of the circuit is 707.1 ohms and the inductance (L) is 0.032 H.

<h3>Resistance of the circuit</h3>

For the phase constant of 45⁰, impedance is equal to the resistance of the circuit.

$Z= R\sqrt{2} \\\\R = \frac{Z}{\sqrt{2} } \\\\R = \frac{1000}{\sqrt{2} } = 707.1 \ ohms$

<h3>Resonant frequency</h3>

$f = \frac{1}{2\pi \sqrt{LC} } \\\\6000 = \frac{1}{2\pi \sqrt{LC} } \\\\2\pi(6000) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{LC} } \\\\\sqrt{LC} = \frac{1}{2\pi (6000)} \\\\LC = (\frac{1}{2\pi (6000)})^2\\\\LC = 7.034 \times 10^{-10} \\\\ C = \frac{7.034 \times 10^{-10} }{L} ---(1)$

<h3>At driven frequency</h3>

$X_l- X_c = R\\\\\omega L - \frac{1}{\omega C} = 707.1\\\\2\pi f L - \frac{1}{2\pi fC} = 707.1\\\\2\pi (8000) L - \frac{1}{2\pi (8000) C } = 707.1\ \ --(2)\\\\$

<em>solve 1 and 2 together</em>

$2\pi(8000) L - \frac{L}{2\pi (8000)(7.034 \times 10^{-10})} = 707.1\\\\50272L - 28279.48L = 707.1\\\\L = 0.032 \ H$

You read in a science magazine that on the Moon, the speed of a shell leaving the barrel of a modern tank is enough to put the s

olga_2 [115]

To solve this problem we will use the definition of the kinematic equations of centrifugal motion, using the constants of the gravitational acceleration of the moon and the radius of this star.

Centrifugal acceleration is determined by

$a_c = \frac{v^2}{r}$

Where,

v = Velocity

r = Radius

From the given data of the moon we know that gravity there is equivalent to

$a = 1.62m/s$

While the radius of the moon is given by

$r = 1.74*10^6m$

If we rearrange the function to find the speed we will have to

$v = \sqrt{ar}$

$v = \sqrt{1.6(1.74*10^6)}$

$v = 1.7km/s$

The speed for this to happen is 1.7km/s

A rock falls from rest off a cliff and hits the ground in 2 seconds. If there is no air resistance, determine the rock's velocit

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

19.6m/s

Explanation:

A Rock falling off a cliff can be modeled as an object starting with zero velocity moves with constant acceleration for certain period of time, for such motion following equation of motion can be used.

$v(t) = v_{0} +at$

here in our case $v_{0} =0$ because object starts off from rest and $a = g =9.8m/s^2$ is acceleration because of gravity ( Motion under gravity).

and of course t = 2 second.

Now by substituting all this information in equation of motion we get.

$v(2s) = 0+9.8m/s^2 *2s = 19.6m/s$

that would be the velocity of rock as it would hit the ground.

Note! We have assumed that there is no air resistance.
