Does the moon actually change shape as it revolves/rotates around the Earth? Explain your answer

Physics

rusak2 [61]3 years ago
3 0

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The moon doesn’t change shape on its own.</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Shapes of moon that we observe is based on the different perspectives of view from the earth and position of moon with respect to the sun. The changes arise due to the rotation of earth on its own axis as well as the revolution of moon on its orbit. The moon doesn’t have any light of its own.

It just reflects off the light from the sun. Due to tidal locking phenomenon one face of the moon permanently faces the sun. Because of the changes in position of moon with respect to the sun the moon is lighted up variably giving rise to various phases like new moon, full moon, crescent etc.

Sloan [31]

Answer:

77.88 lbm/ft³

Explanation:

Given,

Specific gravity, SG = 1.25

Density of water, ρ = 62.30 lbm/ft³

density of the fluid =

   = S.G x ρ_{water}

   = 62.30 x 1.25

   = 77.88 lbm/ft³

Density of the fluid is equal to 77.88 lbm/ft³

What can you infer about a wave with a short wavelength?
raketka [301]

Answer:

- It can be infer that it has a lower frequency.

<em>In the case of electromagnetic waves.</em>

- A short wavelength means a lower energy,

Explanation:

The wavelength is the distance between two consecutive crests or valleys while the frequency is the number of crests that pass for a specific point in an interval of time.

For example, a person makes laundry once a weak.

In this example, the event is represented by the laundry and the interval of time is once a weak

The velocity of a wave is defined as:

v = \nu \cdot \lambda  (1)

Where nu is the frequency and \lambda is the wavelenth

\lambda =  \frac{v}{\nu}  (2)

Notice from equation 2 that the wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency (when the wavelength increases the frequency decreases).

In the case of electromagnetic waves, a short wavelength means a lower energy, as it can be seen in equation 4 (inversely proportional).

E = h\nu  (3)

E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} (4)
