What causes us to see the moon is the Sun. The moon is usually above or below the Earth. So light from the Sun hits the moon and the moon reflects the light back. Some of it to Earth. For example, when a new moon happens the moon is in between the Sun and the Earth

SUN            --------LIGHT----------->    MOON       EARTH

What happens there is that none of the light gets reflected off the part of the moon that we can see from the ground, giving the illusion that it is not there.

During a full moon the Earth is in between the Sun and moon


SUN            -------LIGHT--------->       EARTH        MOON

Now, nearly all the light from the Sun gets reflected off the surface of the moon and to us on Earth

Diego is playing basketball. While running at 7 km/h toward Gino, he passes the ball to Gino horizontally. The ball travels at 2
enot [183]

TheThe  relative velocity of Deigo will be 27km/h .

<h3>What is relative Velocity? </h3>

The relative velocity is the velocity of an object with respect to another observer. It is the time rate of relative position of one object with respect to another object .

Vab = Va-Vb

Where a is object and b is observer .

We have given here the velocity of ball 20km/ h

and the another velocity is 7km/ h

Let us assume that Diego is also moving in the direction where ball is moving so the relative velocity  will  be

 V = 20+7=27km/ h

When both observer and object is moving in same direction than there sum of velocity will be relative velocity ,if they are moving opposite than subtraction.

A 65-kg person stands on a scale in a moving elevator while holding a 5.0 kg mass suspended from a massless spring with spring c
disa [49]

Answer:

The question is incomplete. However, I believe, it is asking for the acceleration of the elevator. This is 3.16 m/s².

Explanation:

By Hooke's law, F = ke

F is the force on a spring, k is the spring constant and e is the extension or compression.

From the question,

F = (1.08\text{ kN/m}) \times (6.0 \times 10^{-2}\text{ m}) = 64.8 \text{ N}

This is the force on the mass suspended on the spring. Its acceleration, a, is given by

F = ma

a = \dfrac{F}{m}

a = \dfrac{64.8 \text{ N}}{5\text{ kg}} = 12.96\text{ m/s}^2

This acceleration is more than the acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s². Hence the elevator must be moving up with an acceleration of

12.96 - 9.8 m/s² = 3.16 m/s²
