The "waning gibbous" begins immediately after the Full Moon and lasts about a week.

At the end of the week, the moon is no longer gibbous, but it's still waning. At the instant it's exactly half-illuminated, it's called "Third Quarter", and then it continuous to wane for another week.

So 3 to 4 days after the END of the waning gibbous phase, it's a Waning Crescent. It still has another 3 to 4 days of waning to go, before it wanes away to nothing and we have the next New Moon.

What is the reaction for P₄ + 5 O₂ --> 2 P₂O₅

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

Combination or synthesis

Explanation:

The reaction is a combination or synthesis reaction in which two or more substances combines to give a single product.

In such a reaction there is formation of compounds from the union of their constituent elements.

The driving force for such reactions is the large and negative heat of formation of the product.

So, this is a combination reaction.

A .5 kg toy train car moving forward at 3 m/s collides with and sticks to a .8 kg toy car that is traveling at 2 m/s what is the

Viktor [21]

Here we have perfectly inelastic collision. Perfectly inelastic collision is type of collision during which two objects collide, stay connected and momentum is conserved. Formula used for conservation of momentum is:
$m_{1} * v_{1} + m_{2} * v_{2} = m_{1} * v'_{1}+ m_{2} * v'_{2}$

In case of perfectly inelastic collision v'1 and v'2 are same.

We are given information:
m₁=0.5kg
m₂=0.8kg
v₁=3m/s
v₂=2m/s
v'₁=v'₂=x

0.5*3 + 0.8*2 = 0.5*x + 0.8*x
1.5 + 1.6 = 1.3x
3.1 = 1.3x
x = 2.4 m/s
