How much total surface of the moon is illuminated by the sun when it is at quarter phase?

Physics
1 answer:
alex41 [277]2 years ago
6 0
50% of the moon is always illuminated, however during it's quarter phase means that we only see a quarter of what's really lit up. So it LOOKS like the moon is only 25% lit and 75% dark, it's truly 50/50. We only see that 25% since we can see it from one angle.

A dog runs 30 feet to the north then 5 feet to the south what is the displacement of the dog
Nuetrik [128]
To look for displacement, just draw a vector from your beginning stage to your last position and settle for the length of this line. So we begin by drawing a line to the north which is 30 ft, since it is north, the line is going up, then it move 5 ft to the south, so put a line going down, so we are in 25 ft, North so that would be the answer.

The sales price of a product is $2 per unit; the variable cost is $1 per unit; and fixed costs total $1,000. how many units must
irakobra [83]

Answer:

<u><em>1000 units for breakeven</em></u>

Explanation:

Let x be the number of units sold at breakeven.

The total sales at the point would be $2x.

Variable costs would be $1x and fixed costs are $1000.

Total costs are = $1x + $1000

At breakeven: Sales = Costs

Sales =m Costs

$2x = $1x + $1000

$1x = $1000

x = 1000 units.

At 1000 units the sales are equal to the costs ("breakeven").

A tank of gasoline (n = 1.40) is open to the air (n = 1.00). A thin film of liquid floats on the gasoline and has a refractive i
klio [65]

Answer:

1.08

Explanation:

This is the case of interference in thin films in which interference bands are formed due to constructive interference of two reflected light waves , one from upper layer and the other from lower layer . If t be the thickness and μ be the refractive index then

path difference created will be 2μ t.

For light coming from rarer to denser medium , a phase change of π occurs additionally after reflection from denser medium, here, two times, once from upper layer and then from the lower layer ,  so for constructive interference

path diff = nλ , for minimum t , n =1

path diff = λ

2μ t. =  λ

μ = λ / 2t

= 626 / 2 x 290

= 1.08

Gravity is defined as: Select one: a. an apple falling from a tree toward the ground. b. ability to accomplish a job with the le
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

c. natural force or pull toward the earth

Explanation:

Gravity of the earth is the force of attraction that it naturally possesses to attract any mass.

An apple falls on the earth due to this force of gravity.

The force of gravity near to the surface of the earth is given as:

F=m.g

where:

m= mass of the body

g= acceleration due to gravity

The variation of the gravitational force with height is given as:

F'=m.g'

where:

g'=g\times (1+\frac{h}{R} )^{-2}

where

R = radius of the earth \approx64000\ km

Which statement correctly describes the reactivity of noble gases, according to the octet rule? Their atoms have eight electrons
Kipish [7]

Answer:

The correct option is : Their atoms have eight electrons in their valence shells, so noble gases are very unreactive.

Explanation:

The octet rule state that atoms tend to complete their last energy levels with eight electrons, and that this configuration make them very stable and unreactive.

Noble gases are characterized as unreactive atoms, and this is associated with the fact that they have a complete valence shell, it means that they have eight electrons on it (they follow the octet rule).

Atoms with less electrons on their valence shells tend to react with another atom, forming bonds, to complete their valence shells (with eight electrons).
