Answer:

The reason for the increase or decrease of the moon is <u>due to the angular perception of the moon. </u>

Explanation:

Also called lunar illusion, this phenomenon is due to the position in which the moon is, it can be at the zenith or on the horizon, both distances are different from each other with respect to the position of the person.

The zenith is the highest part of the sky and the horizon the lowest.

When there are landmarks such as trees, buildings or mountains on the horizon, the illusion of closeness is given and the illusion of distance is misinterpreted.

But when looking up at the sky as there is no reference point there will be a failure in the perception of size.

Thermopane window is constructed, using two layers of glass 4.0 mm thick, separated by an air space of 5.0 mm.

Bond [772]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to rate of thermal conduction

$\frac{Q}{t} = \frac{kA\Delta T}{d}$

The letter Q represents the amount of heat transferred in a time t, k is the thermal conductivity constant for the material, A is the cross sectional area of the material transferring heat, $\Delta T$ , T is the difference in temperature between one side of the material and the other, and d is the thickness of the material.

The change made between glass and air would be determined by:

$(\frac{Q}{t})_{glass} = (\frac{Q}{t})_{air}$

$k_{glass}(\frac{A}{L})_{glass} \Delta T_{glass} = k_{air}(A/L)_{air} \Delta T_{air}$

$\Delta T_{air} = (\frac{k_{glass}}{k_{air}})(\frac{L_{air}}{L_{glass}}) \Delta T_{glass}$

$\Delta T_{air} = (\frac{0.84}{0.0234})(\frac{5}{4}) \Delta T_{glass}$

$\Delta T_{air} = 44.9 \Delta T_{glass}$

There are two layers of Glass and one layer of Air so the total temperature would be given as,

$\Delta T = \Delta T_{glass} +\Delta T_{air} +\Delta T_{glass}$

$\Delta T = 2\Delta T_{glass} +\Delta T_{air}$

$20\°C = 46.9\Delta T_{glass}$

$\Delta T_{glass} = 0.426\°C$

Finally the rate of heat flow through this windows is given as,

$\Delta {Q}{t} = k_{glass}\frac{A}{L_{glass}}\Delta T_{glass}$

$\Delta {Q}{t} = 0.84*24*10 -3*0.426$

$\Delta {Q}{t} = 179W$

Therefore the correct answer is D. 180W.

A child on a spinning playground ride is 0.36 m from the center of the ride. The centripetal force on the child is 19 N. What is

White raven [17]

<span>Centripetal force is easily calculated as long as you know the mass, </span>m, of the object; its distance, r, from the center; and the tangential velocity, v. This equation is based on the metric system; note that the centripetal force, f, is measured in Newtons.

F = mv^2 / r

19 N = m ( 0.54^2) / ( 0.36)

Solve for m

_____ lenses always produce smaller images

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Answer is Concave. Concave images make images smaller, they refract the light rays in many directions, causing the original image to shrink. This is why shortsighted people wear concave lenses. Convex lenses, the other type of diverging lenses, cause the image to be larger, because it concentrates the image in a specific point. That is how a magnifying glass works.

A coin is located 35.0 mm from the center of a turntable which accelerates from rest to a speed of 7.95 rad/s in 0.270 s. What i

beks73 [17]

The minimum coefficient of friction to avoid slippage of the coin is 0.23.

<h3>Minimum coefficient of friction</h3>

The minimum coefficient of friction can determined from the maximum speed of the coin.

ma = μmg

mv²/r = μmg

v²/r = μg

v² = μgr

μ = v²/(gr)

μ = (ωr)²/(gr)

μ = ω²r/g

μ = (7.95² x 0.035)/(9.8)

μ = 0.23

Neutrons released in a fission reaction can strike other nuclei and cause ______.

user100 [1]

Chain reactions

Neutrons released in a fission reaction can strike other nuclei and cause chain reactions

Explanation:

In nuclear fission reactions, the heavier atoms split into into lighter atoms, releasing neutrons at high velocity in the process. The neutrons hit other heavier atoms in the vicinity and split them too releasing more neutrons. This continuation is called chain reaction. The more the released neutrons the higher the rate of chain reactions. This causes too much energy to be produced at a go until an enormous explosion occurs (like in bombs).

In controlled nuclear fission such as in nuclear reactors, the number of neutrons is controlled so as to prevent the reactor from exploding. A wall that absorbs excess neutrons is used to control the number of chain reactions to prevent the release of too much energy at once.
