Answer:

No

Explanation:

It is well explained in the question itself that the accident took place at mid night on a full moon.

At mid night , the moon will be high on sky, it will not be rising.

So the statement of driver is false as there will not be any moon rising on eastern horizon when moon is already at the highest on sky.

This shows he is certainly lying and police should not believe him.

At full moon the moon is directly opposite the sun as viewed from earth.

That is, when the sun is setting the moon is rising. At midnight a full

moon would be directly overhead.

Answer:

The angular magnification is M = 2.808

Explanation:

From the question we are told

           The focal length is  f = 8.9cm

          The near point is n_p = 25.0cm

The angular magnification is mathematically represented as

                          M = \frac{n_p}{f}

Substituting values

                        M = \frac{25}{8.9}

                           = 2.808

What is the resistance of 1.0 m of a solid cylindrical metal cable having a diameter of 0.40 inches and a resistivity of 1.68 ×
Dahasolnce [82]

Given;

redistivity =1.68/100000000W.m

diameter =0.40in

=0.01016m

length =1m

resistance =?

redistivity =resistance×area/lenght

restance=resistivity × length /area

so, resistance =1.6535/1000000 ohmn

Two asteroids in outer space collide and stick together. The mass of each asteroid, and the velocity of each asteroid before the
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

(5) It depends on whether the collision was elastic or inelastic.

Explanation:

Due to the absence of external forces and the fact that masses and initial velocities are known, it is needed to determine if collision is elastic or inelastic. If collision is inelastic, the Momentum Principle is sufficient to calculate final momentum, but if it is elastic, the Momentum Principle should be complemented with the application of the Energy Principle.

Hence, the correct answer is (5).
