Answer:

The moon doesn’t change shape on its own.

Explanation:

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.

Interactive Solution 28.5 illustrates one way to model this problem. A 7.11-kg object oscillates back and forth at the end of a

____ [38]

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the object, m = 7.11 kg

Spring constant of the spring, k = 61.6 N/m

Speed of the observer, $v=2.79\times 10^8\ m/s$

We need to find the time period of oscillation observed by the observed. The time period of oscillation is given by :

$t_o=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}} \\\\t_o=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{7.11}{61.6}} \\\\t_o=2.13\ s$

Time period of oscillation measured by the observer is :

$t=\dfrac{t_o}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}} }\\\\t=\dfrac{2.13}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{(2.79\times 10^8)^2}{(3\times 10^8)^2}} }\\\\t=5.79\ s$

So, the time period of oscillation measured by the observer is 5.79 seconds.

If a molecule has four hybrid sp3 orbitals, it can be concluded that the molecule has a

Lilit [14]

If a molecule is found to have four hybrid sp3 then we say that it has a tetrahedral molecular geometry. thsi is the correct term to define this type of molecules. So your option would be C. Hope this is useful

The initial volume reading in a graduated cylinder is 30 mL. The mass of an irregular shape of an unknown metal piece is 55.3 g.

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

7.9 $\frac{gr}{cm^3}$

Explanation:

When we put the metal piece in the liquid (which is in the graduated cylinder), how much it goes up is equal to the volume of the piece we inserted.

So now we know that the volume of that piece of unknown metal is 7mL (which is the same as 7 $cm^3$ ).

Density is $\frac{mass}{volume}$ .

So the density of that piece of metal is $\frac{55.3g}{7cm^3}$

Which leaves us with a final density of 7.9 $\frac{gr}{cm^3}$

If velocity is decreasing,then acceleration:

ziro4ka [17]

If velocity is decreasing, then acceleration is in the direction
opposite to the velocity.

If the object is moving in the direction that you call 'positive',
then acceleration is negative.
