Why are the lunar mountains smoothly rounded rather than having sharp, pointed peaks (as they were almost always depicted in sci

ence-fiction illustrations and films before the first lunar landings)?
Physics
1 answer:
omeli [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Lunar mountains are smoothly rounded rather than having sharp, pointed peaks because the lunar moons are formed because of the impact of asteroids and comets on its surface whereas the Earth mountains are formed because of the surface activity of volcanos, collision of land masses and activity of plate tectonics that is why they have sharp and pointed tops.

Is distance traveled by a moving train qualitative discrete continuous or na?
butalik [34]
Continuous. Discrete values are values like 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. - they're values that are <em>distinct</em>, and typically there's some idea of a <em>next </em>and a <em>previous </em>value. When we're counting whole numbers, there's a definitive answer to which number comes after, and which number comes before. With continuous values, there's no real "next" or "last" value.

Motion is measured with <em>continuous </em>values; a train might move 300 yards in 1 minute, but we can look at smaller and smaller chunks of time to keep getting shorter and shorter distances. There is no <em />"next" distance the train moves after those 300 yards - it just doesn't make sense for there to be.

It's also measured <em>quantitatively</em>, not <em>qualitatively</em>. This just means that we can use numerical values to measure it, rather than other descriptors like color, smell, or taste.

A concave lens has a focal length of 20 cm. A real object is 30 cm from the lens. Where is the image? What is the magnification?
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

12 cm and 0.4

Explanation:

f = - 20 cm, u = - 30 cm

Let v be the position of image and m be the magnification.

Use lens equation

1 / f = 1 / v - 1 / u

- 1 / 20 = 1 / v + 1 / 30

1 / v = - 5 / 60

v = - 12 cm

m = v / u = - 12 / (-30) = 0.4
