Two students are looking at a brightly lit full Moon, illuminated by the reflected light from the Sun. Consider thefollowing dis

cussion between the two students about what the spectrum of moonlight would look like.Student
1: I think that moonlight is just reflected sunlight, so we will see the Sun’s absorption line spectrum.Student
2: I disagree.An absorption spectrum has to come froma hot, dense object. Since the Moon is not a hot, dense object, it can’t give off an aborption line spectrum.Do you agree or disagree with either or both of the students

Answer:

I agree with the student that think that moonlight is just reflected sunlight, so we will see the Sun’s absorption line spectrum.

Explanation:

Absorption spectrums occur when a white light is passed through a gas. Or simply a light from a hot source passes through a cooler gas. The moon itself is a reflection of the sun, so when it reflects the light from the sun, absorption spectrum lined can be seen. Note that it is the hot gases like hydrogen, oxygen etc in or around the sun that cause absorption spectrum.

On a snowy day, max (mass = 15 kg) pulls his little sister maya in a sled (combined mass = 20 kg) through the slippery snow. max
sesenic [268]

Work done by a given force is given by

W = F.d

here on sled two forces will do work

1. Applied force by Max

2. Frictional force due to ground

Now by force diagram of sled we can see the angle of force and displacement

work done by Max = W_1 = Fdcos\theta

W_1 = 12*5cos15

W_1 = 57.96 J

Now similarly work done by frictional force

W_2 = Fdcos\theta

W_2 = 4*5cos180

W_2= -20 J

Now total work done on sled

W_{net}= W_1 + W2

W_{net} = 57.96 - 20 = 37.96 J

The mass of a moving object increases, but its speed stays the same. What happens to the kinetic energy of the object as a resul
ozzi
The correct answer is 
B It increases.

In fact, the kinetic energy of a moving object is given by
K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2
where m is the mass of the object and v is its speed. We see that the kinetic energy is proportional to the mass and proportional to the square of the speed: in this problem, the speed of the object remains the same, while its mass increases, therefore the kinetic energy will increase as well.

A force exerted on an object produces acceleration. If the mass remains the same and the acceleration is doubled, the force must
Inga [223]
<h2>Answer</h2>

The force will be doubled.

<h2>Explanation</h2>

Using Newton Law II,

<h3>F = ma </h3>

So it can be seen in the formula that force is directly proportional to mass and acceleration.

if mass is doubled ---> force will be doubled, keeping acceleration constant.

Similarly,

if acceleration is doubled ---? force is will be doubled, keeping mass constant.

<em>It is assumed that there is no friction, the object is in the air with no air resistance.</em>

Please do number 11 need this question bad
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Gas always expands or contracts to exactly fill whatever you put it in.

So to measure the volume of a gas, just measure the volume of the jar, the tank, the bottle, the can, or the balloon that the gas is in.

Select all that apply. What factors can limit growth?
Rudiy27
A, b and d

Competition for fix resources of course increases the energy expenditure needed to gather those resources and leaves less for a given population. A lower amount of sunlight or water also contributes to decreased energy which lowers growth. Finally, small borders limit growth in that population density can only go so high before the death rate increases beyond the birth rate.
