Answer:

No. If the moon did not rotate at all we would still see the same visible "fraction" of the moon's surface.

At the full moon phase we would still the entire surface of 1/2 of the moon regardless of which side of the moon we were observing.

Actually the moon does not make one rotation for each revolution of the earth, but rather, one rotation for each complete revolution of the moon around the the earth. That's why we always see the same side of the moon from earth. The back side of the moon is never visible from earth.

Answer:

you mean this halo right

Explanation:

Halo is an American military science fiction media franchise managed and developed by 343 Industries and published by Xbox Game Studios. The franchise and its early main installments were originally developed by Bungie. The central focus of the franchise builds off the experiences of Master Chief John-117, one of a group of supersoldiers codenamed Spartans, and his artificial intelligence (AI) companion, Cortana.

The original trilogy centers on an interstellar war between humanity and an alliance of aliens known as the Covenant. The Covenant, led by their religious leaders called the Prophets, worship an ancient civilization known as the Forerunners, who perished while defeating the parasitic Flood. The eponymous Halo Array are a group of immense, habitable, ring-shaped superweapons that were created by the Forerunners to destroy the Flood, but which the Covenant mistake for religious artifacts that, if activated, would transport them on a Great Journey to meet the Forerunners. They are similar to the Orbitals in Iain M. Banks' Culture novels, and to a lesser degree to author Larry Niven's Ringworld concept.[1][2][3][4]

The games in the series are critically acclaimed, with the original considered the Xbox's "killer app".[5] This led to the term "Halo killer" being used to describe console games that aspire, or are considered, to be better than Halo.[6] Fueled by the success of Halo: Combat Evolved, and by marketing campaigns from publisher Microsoft, its sequels went on to record-breaking sales.[7][8][9] The games have sold over 65 million copies worldwide, with the games alone grossing almost $3.4 billion.[10][11][12] Halo has since become one of the highest-grossing media franchises of all time. These strong sales led to the franchise's expansion to other media; the Halo Universe now spans multiple best-selling novels, graphic novels, comic books, short movies, animated movies and feature films, as well as other licensed products.

You throw a ball from the balcony onto the court in the basketball arena. You release the ball at a height of 7.00 m above the c

Mariana [72]

Answer:

Your friend has to wait 0.26 s after you throw the ball to start running.

Explanation:

The equation that gives the position vector of the ball is as follows:

r = (x0 + v0 · t · cos α, y0 + v0 · t ·sin α + 1/2 · g · t²)

Where:

x0 = initial horizontal positon

v0 = initial velocity

t = time

α = throwing angle

y0 = initial vertical position

g = acceleration due to gravity

The equation of displacement of your friend is as follows:

x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

Where:

x = position of your friend at time t

x0 = initial position

v0 = initial velocity

t = time

a = acceleration

Please, see the attached figure for a description of the situation. Notice that the frame of reference is located at the throwing point.

Let´s find the time of flight of the ball. We know that at the final time, the y-component of the vector r has to be -6.00 m (1 m above the ground). Then:

y = y0 + v0 · t ·sin α + 1/2 · g · t²

-6.00 m = 0 m + 9.00 m/s · t · sin 33.0° - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

0 = -4.9 m/s² · t² + 9.00 m/s · sin 33.0° · t + 6.00 m

Solving the quadratic equation:

t = 1.71 s

Now that we have the time of flight, we can calculate the x-component of the vector r (the horizontal distance traveled by the ball):

x= x0 + v0 · t · cos α

x = 0m + 9.00 m/s · 1.71 s · cos 33°

x = 12.9 m

Then, your friend will have to run (12.9 m - 11.0 m) 1.9 m to catch the ball 1 m above the ground.

Let´s see, how much time it takes your friend to run that distance:

x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t² (x0 = 0, v0 = 0)

x = 1/2 · a · t²

1.9 m = 1/2 · 1.80 m/s² · t²

Solving for t

t = 1.45 s

Then, since the time of flight of the ball is 1.71 s, your friend has to wait

1.71 s - 1.45 s = 0.26 s after you throw the ball to start running.

The initial kinetic energy imparted to a 0.020 kg bullet is 1200 J. (a) Assuming it

Lilit [14]

Answer:

(a) Power= 207.97 kW

(b) Range= 5768.6 meter

Explanation:

Given,

Mass of bullet, $m=0.02 kg$

Kinetic energy imparted, $K=1200 J$

Length of rifle barrel, $d=1 m$

(a)

Let the speed of bullet when it leaves the barrel is $v$ .

Kinetic energy, $K=\frac{1}{2} mv^{2}$

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m} }$

$=\sqrt{\frac{2\times1200}{0.02} }$

$=346.4m/s$

Initial speed of bullet, $u=0$

The average speed in the barrel, $v_a_v_g=\frac{u+v}{2}$

$=\frac{0+346.4}{2} \\=173.2 m/s$

Time taken by bullet to cross the barrel, $t=\frac{d}{v}$

$=\frac{1}{173.2}\\ =0.00577 second$

Power, $P_a_v_g=\frac{W}{t}$

$=\frac{1200}{0.00577} \\=207.97kW$

(b)

In projectile motion,

Maximum height, $H_m=\frac{v^2\sin^2\theta}{2g} \\$

Range, $R=\frac{v^2\sin2\theta}{g}$

given that, $H_m=R$

then, $\frac{v^2\sin^2\theta}{2g}=\frac{v^2\sin2\theta}{g}\\\sin^2\theta=2\sin\theta\cos\theta\\\\\tan\theta=4\\\theta=\tan^-^14\\\theta=75.96^0\\R=\frac{v^2\sin2\theta}{g}\\=\frac{346.4^2\times\sin(2\times75.96)}{9.8}\\5768.6 meter$

kvasek [131]

Answer:

c. Can be used only with scanning

Explanation:

Coarse Adjustment Knob is a large knob on each side of the microscope, with a smaller knob in the middle. This large knob is used to bring an object into close focus as it moves the stage up or down. The coarse-adjustment knob is used ONLY with the scanning or low-power objective lenses.
