<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.

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

most probably 5120J. or 32000x0.8= 25600J

Explanation:

the 1st machine has 20% efficiency. if we supply 32000 joules to the 1st machine then the work output is 32000x0.2 = 6400 J.

if this output from the 1st machine with an output of 6400J is passed through the second machine with an efficiency of 80% then we get 6400x.80 = 5120J.
