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 happens to the energy of a wave as it moves away from its source?
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

As the particles move further away from their normal position (up towards the wave crest or down towards the trough), they slow down.

Explanation:

This means that some of their kinetic energy has been converted into potential energy – the energy of particles in a wave oscillates between kinetic and potential energy. Hope that this helps you and have a great day :)

Winds are deflected to the (right/left) ___ as they move into a low pressure area in the Northern Hemisphere.
SashulF [63]

Winds are deflected to the right as they move into a low pressure area in the Northern Hemisphere.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Winds decide the motion of ocean currents which forms the surface waves in the Earth's atmosphere to maintain the pressure region. The motion of ocean currents is based on Coriolis force which states the direction of motion of an object in a rotating system.

In the case of Earth, the Coriolis force has an effect on the ocean currents which are deflected from maximum to minimum pressure region in a curved path. So the winds formed by the ocean currents will generally get deflected at the right as they move into a low pressure area at the Northern Hemisphere from the high pressure region.
