Full moon: All of the moon or sun appears covers by the shadow.
When the moon is waxing, it means that the lit part is getting larger (going towards a full moon)
When the moon is waning , it means that the lit part is getting smaller (going towards a new moon)
The new moon represents the start of a new lunar cycle and occurs approximately every 29 days.

Hope that help:)

A 26 foot ladder is lowered down a vertical wall at a rate of 3 feet per minute. The base of the ladder is sliding away from the

lakkis [162]

Answer:

(i) 7.2 feet per minute.

(ii) No, the rate would be different.

(iii) The rate would be always positive.

(iv) the resultant change would be constant.

(v) 0 feet per min

Explanation:

Let the length of ladder is l, x be the height of the top of the ladder from the ground and y be the length of the bottom of the ladder from the wall,

By making the diagram of this situation,

Applying Pythagoras theorem,

$l^2 = x^2 + y^2-----(1)$

Differentiating with respect to t ( time ),

$0=2x\frac{dx}{dt} + 2y\frac{dy}{dt}$ ( l = 26 feet = constant )

$\implies 2y\frac{dy}{dt} = -2x\frac{dx}{dt}$

$\implies \frac{dy}{dt}=-\frac{x}{y}\frac{dx}{dt}$

We have,

$y = 10, \frac{dx}{dt}= -3\text{ feet per min}$

$\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{3x}{10}-----(X)$

(i) From equation (1),

$26^2 = x^2 + 10^2$

$676=x^2 + 100$

$576 = x^2$

$\implies x = 24\text{ feet}$

From equation (X),

$\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{3\times 24}{10}=7.2\text{ feet per min}$

(ii) From equation (X),

$\frac{dy}{dt}\propto x$

Thus, for different value of x the value of $\frac{dy}{dt}$ would be different.

(iii) Since, distance = Positive number,

So, the value of y will always a positive number.

Thus, from equation (X),

The rate would always be a positive.

(iv) The length of the ladder is constant, so, the resultant change would be constant.

i.e. x = increases ⇒ y = decreases

y = decreases ⇒ y = increases

(v) if ladder hit the ground x = 0,

So, from equation (X),

$\frac{dy}{dt}=0\text{ feet per min}$

One wire carries a current of I1= 2 Amps, and the other carries a parallel current (same direction, wires are side by side) of I

Yuki888 [10]

Answer: $F=3\times 10^{-5} N$

Explanation:

Given

$I_1=2 Amps$

$I_2=0.75 Amps$

Length of each wires $\left ( L\right )=5 m$

Distance between wires $\left ( r\right )=5 cm$

Force per unit length = $\frac{\mu_0I_1I_2}{2\pi r}$

$F'=\frac{2\times 10^{-7}\times 2\times 0.75}{2\pi \times 0.05}$

$F'=6\times 10^{-6}$

Force for $L=5 m$

$F=3\times 10^{-5} N$

We want to design a cylindrical vacuum capacitor, with a given radius a for the outer cylindrical shell, that will be able to st

anastassius [24]

Solution :

a). Using Gauss's law :

$E=\frac{Q}{4 \pi \epsilon_0r^2}$ , $$b$ .........(1)

Let $E=E_0,\ r=b$ in equation (1)

Therefore, $Q=4 \pi \epsilon_0b^2E_0$ .............(2)

$V_b-V_a = \int^a_b \vec E. d\vec l$

$=\int^a_b E \ dx$

$=\frac{Q}{4 \pi \epsilon_0} \int^a_b \frac{1}{x^2} \ dx$

$=\frac{Q(a-b)}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 a b}$ ....................(3)

Therefore, $U=\frac{1}{2}Q \Delta V$

$=\frac{1}{2}(4 \pi \epsilon_0 b^2 E_0)\left(\frac{Q(a-b)}{4\pi \epsilon_0 a b}\right)$

$=\frac{4 \pi \epsilon_0}{2a} \ E^2_0 b^3(a-b)$ .............(4)

Now differentiating the equation (4) w.r.t. 'b', we get

$b=\frac{3}{4}a$

Thus the radius for the inner cylinder conductor is $b=\frac{3}{4}a$

b). For the energy storage, substitute the radius in (4), we get

$U = 4 \pi\epsilon_0 \frac{27a^3E^2_0}{512}$

This is the amount of energy stored in the conductor.
