One of the scientific characteristics that can make the difference between the Earth and the moon is the so-called Rayleigh dispersion effect. This concept is identified as the dispersion of visible light or any other electromagnetic radiation by particles whose size is much smaller than the wavelength of the dispersed photons. Our atmosphere allows even our 'shadows' to be clear.

On the moon under the absence of the atmosphere or any other mechanism that allows absorbing or failing to re-irradiate sunlight towards the area in its shadows, which makes the shadows on the moon look darker.

A system had 150 kj of work done on it and its internal energy increased by 60 kj. How much energy did the system gain or lose a
mina [271]

Answer:

The system loses 90 kJ of heat

Explanation:

We can answer the question by using the 1st law of thermodynamics, which states that:

\Delta U=Q-W

where

\Delta U is the change in internal energy of the system

Q is the heat absorbed by the system (positive if absorbed, negative if released by the system)

W is the work done by the system (positive if done by the system, negative if done by the surrounding on the system)

In this problem, we have:

W=-150 kJ is the work done (negative, because it is done by the surrounding on the system)

\Delta U=+60 kJ is the increase in internal energy

Using the equation above, we can find Q, the heat absorbed/released by the system:

Q=\Delta U+W=+60 kJ+(-150 kJ)=-90 kJ

And the negative sign means that the system has lost this heat.

If you were making an electric device and needed a piece that would easily transmit an electric charge and also not react with o
loris [4]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete because of the absence of options. However, one material that is good candidate for conducting electricity without reacting with other materials is metallic vanadium dioxide. This is because of the inability of this electrical conductor to conduct heat (an unusual property for all other electrical conductors) and thus makes it difficult for it to react with other materials (since an increase in temperature increases possibility of a reaction).

You have two resistors with the same cross sectional area and resistivity. Resistor A has length L1 and resistor B has length L2
oee [108]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Resistor A has length L_1

and Resistor B has Length L_2

and Resistance is given by

R=\frac{\rho L}{A}

Considering \rhoand A to be constant thus

R_2>R_1 because L_2>L_1

(a)When they are connected in series

As the current in series is same and power is i^2R

therefore P_2>P_1 as R is greater for second resistor

(b)if they are connected in Parallel

In Parallel connection Voltage is same

P=\frac{V^2}{R}

resistance of 2 is greater than 1 thus Power delivered by 1 is greater than 2

slader the cross section of a 5-ft long trough is an isosceles trapezoid with a 2 foot lower base, a 3-foot upper base, and an a
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

0.08 ft/min

Explanation:

To get the speed at witch the water raising at a given point we need to know the area it needs to fill at that point in the trough (the longitudinal section), which is given by the height at that point.

So we need to get the lenght of the sides for a height of 1 foot. Given the geometry of the trough, one side is the depth <em>d</em> and the other (lets call it <em>l</em>) is given by:

l=\frac{3-2}{2}\,ft+2\,ft\\l=2.5\,ft

since the difference between the upper and lower base is the increase in the base and we are only at halft the height.

Now we can calculate the longitudinal section <em>A</em> at that point:

A=d\times l\\A=5\,ft \times 2.5\, ft\\A=12.5\, ft^{2}

And the raising speed <em>v </em>of the water is given by:

v=\frac{q}{A}\\v=\frac{1\, \frac{ft^3}{min}}{12.5\, ft^2}\\v=0.08\, \frac{ft}{min}

where <em>q</em> is the water flow (1 cubic foot per minute).
