The Moon’s position depends on its position relative to Earth. This means that the way we see the Moon from Earth is a product of the Moon’s position. The different phases we see are actually not from Earth’s shadow cast like many people think. The Moon reflects the Sun’s light. The sun is always illuminating one side of the Moon, but sometimes we can only see the side that is unlit. The positions then come into play because as the Moon moves along in its orbit, the sunlight falls differently on it. This is why we see different shapes, like a thin crescent.

What is the main idea of the following poem? Fire and Ice by Robert Frost Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice.

Aleks04 [339]

I think you could choose either fire or ice.
fire = desire.

Selfishly wanting what you should not have is selfish desire. It is ruinous to think only of yourself. That's fire in this case.

hate is also very destructive. (I personally think that hate is the most dangerous of all possible character traits.) Hatred has emotional roots that cannot be easily overcome and certainly is not controlled by a tender heart. Intellect can be very guilty of hatred. That is why it is termed ice. Hatred can be quite cold governed by intellect.

According to Newton's 3rd Law of Motion, when you walk on the sidewalk, the push of your shoe on the ground is _______ the push

Nady [450]

Answer:

opposite

Explanation:

Newton's 3rd law of motion: If object A exerts a force on object B, then object B must exert a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction back on object A.

so it should be opposite because the ground/floor pushes the shoe up and forward, the shoe pushes down and back.

correct me if you see a mistake.

Points A and B lie on a circle with radius 1, and arc ⌢AB has a length of π/3. What fraction of the circumference of the circle

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

1/6

Explanation:

The circumference of a circle is denoted by: C = 2πr, where r is the radius. Here, we see that the radius is 1, so plug this in:

C = 2πr

C = 2π * 1 = 2π

We see that arc AB has length π/3, so to find the fraction of the circumference this is, divide π/3 by 2π:

(π/3) ÷ 2π = (π/3) * (1/2π) = 1/6

Thus, the answer is 1/6.
