Define: New Moon, Full Moon, Waxing phases and Waning phases.

Physics
1 answer:
Nutka1998 [239]3 years ago
5 0
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:)

Currently, the Sun is thought to be located in the galactic _____________ about ____________ the center of the galaxy.
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

a. Disk, 28 thousand light-years from

Explanation:

Since, a galactic disc is a component of disc galaxies, for instance spiral galaxies and lenticular galaxies. It consists of a stellar component and a gaseous component.

Also, the Sun lies within the galactic disk or in other words it is thought to be located in the galactic disk,

The Sun is located about 26,000 light-years away from the centre of the galaxy.

∵ From the given options 28,000 is nearest to 26,000

Hence, the sun is about 28 thousand light-years from the centre of the galaxy.

i.e. OPTION 'a' would be correct.

Explain why a ball thrown in space could keep moving forever, while a ball thrown here on Earth will come to a stop.
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

In space there is no air resistance. on earth there is

in space there is no opposite forces acting on stopping the ball, so if you throw it it will go on forever.

on earth there is air resistance and gravity, this will pull the ball towards the ground and slow it down.

A certain car battery with a 12.0 V emf has an initial charge of 131 A · h. Assuming that the potential across the terminals sta
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

The battery can supply 130 W for 11.75 h

Explanation:

In order to discover the time in wich the battery can supply this energy we need to find how much current is being drawn from it, we do that by using the equation for real power that is P = V*I, since we have V and P we can solve for I as seen bellow:

I = P/V = 130/12 = 10.834 A

We can use this value to find how many hours the power can supply said current. We do that by dividing the current capacity of the battery by the current drawn:

t = 141/12 = 11.75 h

In the demolition of an old building, a 1,300 kg wrecking ball hits the building at 1.07 m/s2. Calculate the amount of force at
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer: F = 1391 N

Explanation:

The information given to you are:

Mass M = 1300 kg

Acceleration a = 1.07 m/s^2

The magnitude of the force striking the building will be

F = ma

Where

F = force

Substitute mass M and acceleration a into the formula

F = 1300 × 1.07

F = 1391 N

Therefore, the wrecking ball strikes the building with a force of 1391 N

What measures the amount of displacement in a transverse wave
MAVERICK [17]
Unlike a longitudinal wave, a transverse wave moves about, perpendicular to the direction of propagation. The particles in a transverse wave do not travel along the direction of propagation, but only oscillate up and down on its equilibrium position. With this, the displacement can be determined by measuring (in the case of electronic waves, using an oscilloscope or spectrum analyzer) and setting the desired units to measure the wave in.
