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.

Physics question A spacecraft descends vertically near the surface of Planet X. An upward thrust of 25.0kN from its engines slow
Evgesh-ka [11]
 F=m*a and m is constant on any planet 
25000-m*g=m*1.2 
10000-m*g=-m*0.80 
m*g is the weight 
25000/1.2-m*g/1.2=m 
10000/0.80-m*g/0.80=-25000/1.2+m*g/1.2 solve for m*g 
m*g=(10000/0.80+25000/1.2)/ (1/1.2+1/0.80)

Starting from zero, an electric current is established in a circuit made of a battery of emf E, a resistor of resistance R and a
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

time constant will decrease and steady state current will decrease on increasing the resistance

Explanation:

As we know that the EMF of cell is E which is used to connected across a resistor and an inductor.

So we will have

E - iR - L\frac{di}{dt} = 0

here we know that

i = \frac{E}{R}(1 - e^{-Rt/L})

now here we have

\tau = \frac{L}{R}

so if we increase the value of resistance of the wire then the time constant will decrease

and hence it will take less time to reach near the steady state value

also the steady state current will be smaller in that case

BRAINLEST FOR CORRECT ANSWER PLEASE
Nata [24]

Answer:

Sledgehammer A has more momentum

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of Sledgehammer A = 3 Kg

Swing speed = 1.5 m/s

Mass of Sledgehammer B = 4 Kg

Swing speed = 0.9 m/s

Find:

More momentum

Computation:

Momentum = mv

Momentum sledgehammer A = 3 x 1.5

Momentum sledgehammer A = 4.5 kg⋅m/s

Momentum sledgehammer B = 4 x 0.9

Momentum sledgehammer B = 3.6 kg⋅m/s

Sledgehammer A has more momentum

Chose the word that correctly completes the following sentence: Kirchoff's junction law expresses the conservation of ____. a) m
Radda [10]

Answer:A- mass charge.

This can also be called current.

Explanation:

This is Kirchhoff’s 2nd law.

Kirchhoff’s junction law states that the sum of current(mass charge) flowing in and out of the junction must be equal to zero. This law emphasizes conservation of charge and energy. Charge is also a form of energy and it can neither be created nor destroyed.

A thermometer is placed in water in order to measure the water’s temperature. What would cause the liquid in the thermometer to
katovenus [111]
The correct answer should be c.The kinetic energy of the water molecules decreases.

If the temperature drops that means that the molecules are coming together. If the temperature rises then it means that the molecules are spreading. If the kinetic energy falls down that means that they are slower which means that they are cooler.
