Answer:

6 and 8

Explanation:

The different positions of the moon, as seen from Earth, reflect how much light is being reflected off the moon from the sun.

Position 1 indicates the 3rd Quarter.

Position 2 indicates the Waning Gibbous.

Position 3 indicates the Full Moon.

Position 4 indicates the Waxing Gibbous.

Position 5 indicates the 1st Quarter.

Position 6 indicates the Waxing Crescent.

Position 7 indicates the New Moon.

Position 8 indicates the Waning Crescent.

You would read the diagram counterclockwise, with positions 7 to 3 as the moon increases light and positions 3 to 7 as the moon decreases light.

Therefore, we see that our 2 choices where we have a crescent is positions 6 and 8.

Jada is rowing a boat across a river that has a current of 5 m/s in the ˆ j direction. Leanne, standing on the shore, observes J

olchik [2.2K]

Answer: d. 8.25 m/s

Explanation:

We are given that Current= 5 m/s in j direction

Velocity= 8 m/s i + 3 m/s j

Now, we have to find Jada's speed with respect to the water.

First we find Jada's velocity with respect to water

v= (8 i + 3 j) - (5 j)

v= 8i - 2 j

To find the speed, we take the magnitude of this velocity vector we have

|v|= $\sqrt{(8)^2+(-2)^2}$

|v|= $\sqrt{68}$ = 8.246 m/s

which comes out to be around = 8.25 m/s

So option d is correct.
