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

A 75.0-kg man standing on a bathroom scale in an elevator. Calculate the scale in N, reading if the elevator moves upward at a c
Salsk061 [2.6K]

The scale in N, reading if the elevator moves upward at a constant speed of 1.5 m/s^2 is 862.5 N.

weight of man = 75kg

speed of elevator, a = 1.5 m/ s^{2}

F - w = ma \\

F = w + ma

F = m ( a +g )

F = 75 ( 1.5 + 10 ) \\

F = 75 ( 11.5 )

F = 862.5 N

So, the scale reading in the elevator is greater than his 862.5 N weight. This indicates that the person is being propelled upward by the scale, which it must do in order to do so, with a force larger than his weight. According to what you experience in quickly accelerating or slowly moving elevators, it is obvious that the faster the elevator acceleration, the greater the scale reading.

Speed can be defines as the pace at which the position of an object changes in any direction.  Since speed simply has a direction and no magnitude, it is a scalar quantity.

Water flows into a horizontal, cylindrical pipe at 1.4 m/s. the pipe then narrows until its diameter is halved. what is the pres
inna [77]

According to the Bernoulli's equation,the pressure difference between the wide and narrow ends of the pipe is given by

\Delta P= \frac{1}{2} \rho ( v^2_{2} - v^2_{1} )

Here,  v_{1} is the velocity of water through wide ends of cylindrical pipe and v_{2} is the velocity of water through narrow ends of cylindrical pipe.

Given, v_{1} =1.4 m/s

Now from equation continuity,

v_{1} A_{1} = v_{2} A_{2}.

Here, A_{1} and A_{2} are cross- sectional areas of wide and narrow ends of cylindrical pipe.

As pipe is circular, so

v_{1} \pi r^2_{1} = v_{2} \pi r^2_{2}.

At the second point, the diameter is halved, which means the radius is also halved. Therefore,

v_{1} r^2_{1} = v_{2}(\frac{1}{2} r_{1})^2 \\\\ v_{2} = 4 v_{1}

v_{2} = 4 \times 1.4 = 5.6 m/s

Substituting these values  with the density of water is 1000 \ kg/m^3 in pressure difference formula we get.

\Delta P= \frac{1}{2} \rho ( v^2_{2} - v^2_{1} )=\frac{1}{2}\times 1000 kg/m^3(5.6^2-1.4^2)\\\\ \Delta P = 14700\ Pa

An astronaut is taking a space walk near the shuttle when her safety tether breaks. what should the astronaut do to get back to
sergeinik [125]
The best way in handling in this situation is that in order for the astronaut to be able to get back to the shuttle is that he or she should take an object from his or her tool belt and to be thrown out away from the shuttle. This will allow her to weight lightly and safely return to the shuttle and would be easier for his or her to do so.
