The moon is halfway through the waxing crescent phase. In approximately how many days will it be in the last-quarter phase?

Physics

Jlenok [28]4 years ago
4 0

Let's say the Moon's complete cycle of phases is about 28 days (4 weeks) ... just so the arithmetic is easier. (Close enough. It's actually 29.53 days.)

If it's halfway through the waxing crescent, then it'll reach first quarter in 3 days or so.

From there, it'll take the next 7 days to become Full, and another 7 days to reach last quarter.

Total from half-waxing-crescent to last quarter . . . about 17 days.

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

Water in an artificial lake held behind a dam

Explanation:

Potential energy is energy that can be converted to kinetic energy, for example, an object at a certain height has potential energy because we can drop the object to have kinetic energy.

Therefore, the best example of potential energy is water in an artificial lake held behind a dam because without the dam, the water will start to move and it becomes the energy into kinetic energy.

Suppose that you measure the light of a star between 640 and 680 nm and you get a very strong peak around 650 nm. what can you s
Llana [10]

Answer: The star is moving away from Earth

Explanation:

Let's begin by explaining what the Doppler shift is:

This is related to the Doppler effect and refers to the change in a wave perceived frequency (or wavelength=color) when the emitter of the waves, and the observer move relative to each other.  

From there, it is deduced that the farther the object is, the more redshifted it is in its spectrum. For example, as a star moves away from the Earth, its espectrum turns towards the <u>red</u> and as the star moves toward the Earth, its espectrum turns towards the <u>blue</u>.

In this sense, since the peak in wavelength is around 650 nm, which corresponds to red, it can be said the star is moving away from Earth.

Explain the necessity of smoothing the output voltage before applying it to a transistor
ra1l [238]

In simple words, smoothing can be defined as the circuit which is done to eliminate the ripple from the yield of a direct current power supply.

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u>Necessity of smoothing:</u>

  • Smoothing can be also applied in the form of a capacitor that acts to decrease or level out variations in a signal. And these capacitors are mostly used after power supply in voltage.
  • The yield DC voltage of a half-wave rectifier provided in the figure of a sinusoidal wave.
  • In a method to provide a constant DC voltage from a corrected AC source, a filter or smoothing circuit is required.
