Explain why the moon is always half illuminated and half dark no matter where it is in the lunar cycle.

Physics

BlackZzzverrR [31]3 years ago

The easiest way I know to explain it is this:

-- Take a flashlight and a ball into a dark room.

-- Turn on the flashlight and point it at the ball.

-- Half of the ball is lighted up by the flashlight, and the other half is dark.

-- There is no way you can turn or twist the ball to make more or less
than 50% of it lighted up and more or less than 50% of it dark.

<em>Everything</em> in the solar system ... as long as it's shaped like a ball ... is
half illuminated by the sun and half dark.

A child pushes a 100 kg refrigerator with a force of 50 N, but the refrigerator does not move. Suppose the coefficient of static
faust18 [17]

Answer:

50 N

Explanation:

Since the refrigerator doesn’t move, that means the force of friction equals the amount of force the child exerts on the fridge. If the friction force were greater than the force by the child, the fridge would start accelerating towards the child. If it were less than the force the child exerted, the fridge would start accelerating away from the child. Therefore, the net force must be 0, in this case, the friction force is equal to the force the child exerted, for it to stay at rest (as Newton’s First Law stated).

I hope this helps! :)

What pressure will 14. 0 g of co exert in a 3. 5 l container at 75°c?
Ronch [10]

The pressure will 14. 0 g of co exert in a 3. 5 l container at 75°c is 4.1atm.

Therefore, option A is correct option.

Given,

Mass m = 14g

Volume= 3.5L

Temperature T= 75+273 = 348 K

Molar mass of CO = 28g/mol

Universal gas constant R= 0.082057L

Number of moles in 14 g of CO is

n= mass/ molar mass

= 14/28

= 0.5 mol

As we know that

PV= nRT

P × 3.5 = 0.5 × 0.082057 × 348

P × 3.5 = 14.277

P = 14.277/3.5

P = 4.0794 atm

P = 4.1 atm.

Thus we concluded that the pressure will 14. 0 g of co exert in a 3. 5 l container at 75°c is 4.1atm.

When light passes through an object unchanged, scientists call that process _____.
Nataly [62]

<u>Answer</u>:

When light passes through an object unchanged, scientists call that process Transmission.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Transmission is the process where all the light that is passed through the material moves via the material without being absorbed. The Transmission depends on the affected radiation.The Transmittance of the medium is defined as the ratio between transmitted radiant power and incident radiant power. The light that is passed through the medium and not reflected will be either scattered or reflected. The light can be transmitted only through transparent or translucent material. Opaque object does not allows transmission of light.

How do sea surface temperatures affect evaporation rate?
kotegsom [21]
<span>Answer: The temperature doesn't affect the evaporation rate, but affects on how much of water a parcel of air can contain when saturated which is known by the absolute humidity. Hurricanes are usually happening when the temperature of the sea water west of the Cape Verde islands is over 27 degrees Celsius. If ahead of the path of a hurricane, the sea water temperature drops then it will be less moisture in the air and perhaps the hurricane will fade out. But it is not as simple. How strong a tropical storm is is relative to the difference of temperture between ground level and the top of the troposphere. The greater the difference, the faster the air will rise and the deeper the pressure will be, forcing surrounding air to rush in, thus forming a hurricane force wind. Then there is the fact that the wet adiabatic lapse rate is about half that of dry air. It means that rising moist air cools down slower and therefore rises higher. Hence water is the true fuel of bad weather. But it can't be isolated from the fact that the difference of temperature must be great too. What we often forget is that the tropopause (the border to the stratosphere) is much higher over the equator and therefore, much colder than e.g. the poles.</span>
