At which position would a person on earth see the entire lighted half of the moon?

1 answer:

3 0

The best position for the person would be outside, under a clear sky, standing up. He should do it sometime between sunset and sunrise, from a day before until a day after the moment of Full Moon.

The figure shows two springs (k1 = 10 N/m and k2 = 20 N/m ) attached to a block that can slide on a frictionless surface. In the

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

Energy stored by left spring when compressed = 1/2 k x²

= .5 x 10 x .02² = .002 J .

Let compression in right spring = y

energy stored to right spring = 1/2 k y²

1/2 k y² = 0.002

.5 x 20 x y² = 0.002

y = .01414 m

= 1.4 cm

A cylindrical can 150 mm in diameter is filled to a depth of 100 mm with a fuel oil. The oil has a mass of 1.56 kg. Calculate it

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

Density (φ) = 0,8827 Kg/L

Specific weight (Ws) = 8,65 N/L

Specific gravity (Gs) = 0,8827 (without unit)

Explanation:

The density formula: φ = $\frac{m}{V}$

I know the mass "m", I need to find out the volume of the cylinder (V)

V = π* r²*h

The radius "r" is equal to half the diameter (150mm) = 75mm

Now I can find out the density (φ)

φ = $\frac{1,56Kg}{1,767145L}$ = 0,8827 Kg/L

The specific weight (Ws) is the relationship between the weight of substance (oil) and its volume. We apply the following formula:

Ws = φ*g

(g = gravity = 9,8 m/s²)

Finally, specific gravity (Gs) is the ratio between the density of a substance (oil) "φ(o)" and the density of water "φ(w)" :

Gs = φ(o) / φ(w)

(φ(w) = 1 Kg/L

Hope this can help you !!

Which theory of the origin of the moon would be most supported if the moon had an irregular shape, like an asteroid? impact theo

Fiesta28 [93]

<span>Its the impact theory.
It suggests that the moon resulted from the collision of two protoplanets, or embryonic worlds. One of those was the just-forming Earth, and the other was a Mars-size object called Theia. The moon then coalesced from the debris, thus giving it its irregular shape.</span>

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

The steps are outlined in the explanation below.

Explanation:

The average velocity is derived midpoint from the initial to the final velocity. Here is the proof:

Find the total displacement:

let the displacement be given by the letter s

Then since the average velocity is defined as: $v_{av} = \frac{x - x_{0} }{t - t_{0} }$
