What is the phase of the Moon if it . . .

Physics
1 answer:
anzhelika [568]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Waxing Gibbous

Third quarter

Waning Gibbous

Explanation:

If moon rises at 3:00 pm then the phase of the moon will be "Waxing Gibbous".

This is because, the moon is actually not fully illuminated but has achieved more than half of its full illumination.

If the moon is highest in the sky at sunrise then the phase of the Moon will be the "Third quarter"

This is because of the fact that at this position moon will rise at midnight, thus it will be at the highest point at the time of the sunrise.

If the moon sets at 10:00 am then the phase of the Moon is "Waning Gibbous"

This is because of the fact that at this position the Moon is moving towards becoming new Moon but at the same time,  the moon is illuminated more than its half illumination.

What occurs during an exothermic change
Likurg_2 [28]
In an exothermic reaction, there is a transfer of energy to the surroundings in the form of heat energy. The surroundings of the reaction will experience an increase in temperature. Many types of chemical reactions are exothermic, including combustion reactions, respiration & neutralization reactions of bases & acids.

A top is a toy that is made to spin on its pointed end by pulling on a string wrapped around the body of the top. The string has
AlladinOne [14]

Given Information:

Angular displacement = θ = 51 cm = 0.51  m

Radius = 1.8 cm = 0.018 m

Initial angular velocity = ω₁ = 0 m/s

Angular acceleration = α = 10 rad/s ²

Required Information:

Final angular velocity = ω₂ = ?

Answer:

Final angular velocity = ω₂ = 21.6 rad/s

Explanation:

We know from the equations of kinematics,

ω₂² = ω₁² + 2αθ

Where ω₁ is the initial angular velocity that is zero since the toy was initially at rest, α is angular acceleration and θ is angular displacement.

ω₂² = (0)² + 2αθ

ω₂² = 2αθ

ω₂ = √(2αθ)

We know that the relation between angular displacement and arc length is given by

s = rθ

θ = s/r

θ = 0.51/0.018

θ = 23.33 radians

finally, final angular velocity is

ω₂ = √(2αθ)

ω₂ = √(2*10*23.33)

ω₂ = 21.6 rad/s

Therefore, the top will be rotating at 21.6 rad/s when the string is completely unwound.

Find the separation of two points on the Moon’s surface that can just be resolved by the 200 in. (= 5.1 m) telescope at Mount Pa
rewona [7]

Answer:

The separation of the 2 points should be 50.0 meters.

Explanation:

According to Rayleigh's scattering criteria the angular separation between 2 points to be resolved equals

\theta =1.22\cdot \frac{\lambda }{D}

Applying the given values we get

\theta =1.22\cdot \frac{550\times 10^{-9} }{5.1}=0.1316\times 10^{-6}rads

thus the linear separation equals L=\theta \times Distance

Applying the given values we get

L=0.1316\times 10^{-6} \times 3.8\times 10^{5}\times 10^{3}meters\\\\\therefore L=50.00metes
