Answer:

A) False B) True C) False D) False E) False

Explanation:

A) At any point of time half of the moon is always illuminated by the sun. We are able to see only the part of the moon which is facing us.

B)  Typically a Lunar cycle phases take 29.5 days to complete one cycle i.e. it will take 29.5 days for one event say full moon to reoccur. So except for February all the other month can have two full moons.

C) As explained in the above answer any month except February can have two full moons.

D) The tame taken between new moon is 29.5 days.

E) Full moon always rises at the sunset and sets at the sunrise

. Reem took a wire of length 10 cm. Her friend Nain took a wire of 5 cm of the same material and thickness both of them connecte
Umnica [9.8K]

Given :

Reem took a wire of length 10 cm. Her friend Nain took a wire of 5 cm of the same material and thickness both of them connected with wires as shown in the circuit given in figure. The current flowing in both the circuits is the same.

To Find :

Will the heat produced in both the cases be equal.

Solution :

Heat released is given by :

H = i²Rt

Here, R is resistance and is given by :

R = \dfrac{\rho L}{A}

So,

H = i^2\times \dfrac{\rho L}{A} t\\\\H = \dfrac{i^2\rho Lt}{A}

Now, in the question every thing is constant except for the length of the wire and from above equation heat is directly proportional to the length of the wire.

So, heat produced by Reem's wire is more than Nain one.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Maggie walks to a friends house which is exactly 1500 meters due South. It takes Maggie 45 minutes for the walk and Maggie has t
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

<em>Explanation below</em>

Explanation:

<u>Speed vs Velocity </u>

These are two similar physical concepts. They only differ in the fact that the velocity is vectorial, i.e. having magnitude and direction, and the speed is scalar, just the magnitude regardless of the direction. They are strongly related to the concepts of displacement and distance, which are the vectorial and scalar versions of the space traveled by a moving object. The velocity can be computed as

\displaystyle \vec v=\frac{\vec r}{t}

Where \vec r is the position vector and t is the time. The speed is

\displaystyle v=\frac{d}{t}

To compute \vec r, we only need to know the initial and final positions and subtract them. To compute d, we need to add all the distances traveled by the object, regardless of their directions.

Maggie walks to a friend's house, located 1500 meters from her place. The initial position is 0 and the final position is 1500 m. The displacement is

\vec r=1500\ m \text{ to the south}

and the velocity is

\displaystyle \vec v=\frac{1500}{45}=33.33\ m/s\text{ to the south}

Now, we know Maggie had to make three different turns of direction to finally get there. This means her distance is more than 1500 m. Let's say she walked 500 m in all the turns, then the distance is

d=1500+500=2000\ m

If she took the same time to reach her destiny, she would have to run faster, because her average speed is

\displaystyle v=\frac{2000}{45}=44.44\ m/s

A 2,000 kg rocket is launched 12 km straight up at a constant acceleration into the sky at which point the rocket is travelling
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

797700000 J

Explanation:

From the question,

The work done by the rocket, is given as,

W = Ek+Ep............. Equation 1

Where Ek and Ep are the potential and the kinetic energy of the rocket respectively.

Ep = mgh............ Equation 2

Ek = 1/2mv²............. equation 3

Substitute equation 2 and equation 3 into equation 1

W = mgh+1/2mv².............. Equation 4

Where m = mass of the rocket, h = height, v = velocity of the rocket, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Given: m = 2000 kg, h = 12 km = 12000 m, v = 750 m/s, g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 4

W = 2000(12000)(9.8)+1/2(2000)(750²)

W = 235200000+562500000

W = 797700000 J

From the top of a cliff, a person tosses a pebble straight downward with an initial velocity of -9.0 meters/second. After 0.50 s
Irina-Kira [14]
Y - yo = Vo*t - g * (t^2) / 2

Vo = - 9.0 m/s
t = 0.50 s

=> y - yo = -9.0 m/s * 0.5 s - 9.8 m/s^2 * (0.5s)^2 / 2 = - 4.5m - 1.225m = - 5.725 m.

Answer: option c) - 5.7
