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

Answer:

Sonar

Explanation:

Sonar is a technique that involves the use of sounds in viewing substances in a water medium to aid movement or communication. It makes use of the advantage of sound waves traveling faster and farther in water when compared to other types of waves such as light waves.

During World War II, the military employed the use of SONAR in imaging the seafloor by sending pulses of sound waves down through the water and measuring the time it took for the sound to bounce off the seafloor and return to the receiver.

A cube has a drag coefficient of 0.8. what would be the terminal velocity of a sugar cube 1 cm on a side in air (ρ = 1.2 kg/m3)?
kramer
To answer this question, we should know the formula for the terminal velocity. The formula is written below:

v = √(2mg/ρAC)
where
m is the mass
g is 9.81 m/s²
ρ is density
A is area
C is the drag coefficient

Let's determine the mass, m, to be density*volume.
Volume = s³ = (1 cm*1 m/100 cm)³ = 10⁻⁶ m³
m = (1.6×10³ kg/m³)(10⁻⁶ m³) = 1.6×10⁻³ kg
A = (1 cm * 1 m/100 cm)² = 10⁻⁴ m²

v = √(2*1.6×10⁻³ kg*9.81 m/s²/1.6×10³ kg/m³*10⁻⁴ m²*0.8)
<em>v = 0.495 m/s</em>
