Answer:

Explanation:

lthough the earliest examples of mummification were accidental, with bodies being preserved because of very dry, desert conditions, it soon became religiously important in ancient Egypt and was done deliberately. Ancient Egyptians believed that a happy afterlife depended in part on careful mummification. The word mummification is formed with the suffix -fication, "a making or causing," and mummy, from the Arabic mumiyah, "embalmed body," from the Persian root mum, "wax."

A spherical conducting shell has charge Q. A point charge q is placed at the center of the cavity. The charge on the inner surfa

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:d

Explanation:

From Gauss law Electric field inside a surface is directly proportional to the charge enclosed in it.

Electric field inside a spherical shell is zero and hence there is no charge inside the spherical shell because q charge induces a -q charge on inside surface of spherical shell.

and to counter it there is q charge on the surface. So total charge outside the surface is Q+q

Arrange the phases of the Moon in order of increasing rising time, from the phase with the earliest rising time at 12:00 a.m. to

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

Lets assume the Sun rise time to be 06:00 AM. The rise time of different phases of Moon will be as follows:

12:00 AM : Waning Half

01:00 AM - 05:00 AM : Waning Crescent

06:00 AM : New Moon

07:00 AM - 11:00 AM : Waxing Crescent

12:00 PM : Waxing Half

01:00 PM - 06:00 PM : Waxing Gibbous

06:00 PM : Full Moon

07:00 PM - 09:00 PM : Waning Gibbous

Explanation:

The Moon is the only celestial object which shows visible changes in its shape and rise and set time over a very short period of time i.e. just one day. One can observe it by observing the Moon daily. One will notice the change easily. This happens because of the geometry of the Sun, Earth and Moon. The Moon doesn't have its own light and shines because of the light of Sun.

At any given time half of the Moon would be illuminated by the Sun but how much of this illuminated portion is facing the Earth decides the phase of the Moon visible from the Earth. Due to this the Moon shows us various phases namely: New, Waxing Crescent, Waxing Half, Waxing Gibbous, Full, Waning Gibbous, Waning Half, Waning Crescent.

Also, the Moon revolves around the Earth completing the orbit in 29.5 Days. Everyday the Moon will change its position in the orbit. Due to this the rising time of Moon shifts by approximately 52 minutes daily. So, the New Moon rises with the Sun and Full Moon rises just after the sunset.

Lets assume the Sun rise time to be 06:00 AM. The rise time of different phases of Moon will be as follows:

12:00 AM : Waning Half

01:00 AM - 05:00 AM : Waning Crescent

06:00 AM : New Moon

07:00 AM - 11:00 AM : Waxing Crescent

12:00 PM : Waxing Half

01:00 PM - 06:00 PM : Waxing Gibbous

06:00 PM : Full Moon

07:00 PM - 09:00 PM : Waning Gibbous

Does an object which is positively charged contains all protons and no electrons?

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

Positively charged objects have electrons; they simply possess more protons than electrons.

Explanation:

2. An object that is electrically neutral contains only neutrons. Electrically neutral atoms simply possess the same number of electrons as protons.

<h3>Information:</h3>

If an atom has an equal number of protons and electrons, its net charge is 0. If it gains an extra electron, it becomes negatively charged and is known as an anion.

If it loses an electron, it becomes positively charged and is known as a cation.
