Two students are having a discussion about the Moon. The first student claims that we always see only one side of the Moon and t

hat the other side is the "dark side." This student also further asserts that the dark side of the Moon is always dark. The second student disagrees with the first and claims that since the Moon is rotating, we see both sides of the Moon. Which student do you agree with and why? Why is the other student wrong?

Answer:

We should only agree with the first statement of the first student but not with the second part of his statement. While as the statement of the other student is completely wrong.

Explanation:

The earth and the moon are locked in a process known as tidal locking. Tidal locking occurs when any object which revolves around other object takes the same amount of time to rotate around it's own axis as it takes to revolve around the planet.

This is exactly the case with moon and the earth system ,the moon is tidally locked with earth thus we cannot see the other side of the moon but this side is not dark as claimed by the first student but this side of the moon is also illuminated by the sunlight as the face of moon that we are able to see.

The second student is wrong as we cannot see the other side of moon from earth.

5. A stream of air at 12 bar and 900 K is mixed with another stream of air at 2 bar and 400 K with 2 times the mass flowrate. If
Softa [21]

Answer:

The anserrs to the question are

(a)  The temperature would be 566.67  K and

(b) The pressure of the resulting air stream is 14 bar

Explanation:

Here the two streams of gases meet ad form a single stream

The steady-flow energy equation can be implemented at the mixing point of the to streams as follows

mₐhₐ₁ + mₙ hₙ₁ + Q° + W° = mₐhₐ₂ + mₙhₙ₂

Where the flow is adiabatic, we have

Q = 0 and  W = 0  hence

mₐhₐ₁ + mₙ hₙ₁ = mₐhₐ₂ + mₙhₙ₂ where h = cp×T we have

mₐcpₐ×Tₐ + mₙcpₙ×Tₙ  = mₐcpₐ×T + mₐcpₙ×T

Therefore the final temperature T is given by

T = \frac{m_ac_{pa}T_a + m_nc_{pn}T_n}{m_ac_{pa} + m_nc_{pn}}  for the same kind of gas cpₐ =cpₙ therefore

T = \frac{m_aT_a + m_nT_n}{m_a + m_n} where mₐ and mₙ are mass flow rate

Therefore we have where Tₐ = = 900 K and Tₙ = 400 K and mₙ = 2mₐ gives

T = \frac{m_a*900 + 2*m_a*400}{m_a + 2*m_a} = T = \frac{900 + 800}{1 + 2} = 1700/3 = 566.67 K  

From Dalton's law, the total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the components of the mixture

Therefore the total pressure of the combined stream = pₐ + pₙ = p

= 12 bar + 2 bar = 14 bar

Stream pressure = 14 bar

consider a charge of -15.0 mCmoving to the right a 2.00x10^6 m/s in a mganetic field of .0300 T pointing upwards. What is the ma
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

a = 1.13×10^-8 m/s²

Explanation:

f = ma = qvb \\ a =  \frac{qvb}{m}

q = 15×10^-3 C

v = 2×10^6 m/s

B = 0.03 T

m = 8.00 x10^10 kg

a = 900/8 x10^10

a = 1.13×10^-8 m/s²
