Answer: False

Some people believe that the Moon’s phases are caused by Earth’s shadows on the Moon is false.

Explanation:

Some people believe that the Moon’s phases are caused by Earth’s shadows on the Moon is their misconception. 

The phases depend on its place relative with sun and earth.The phases of moon are new moon,waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbon, full moon, wanning gibbon,last quarter, wanning crescent,new moon.

For example, 

When moon, earth, and sun are exactly in the same line and moon lies in between earth and sun, the sun illuminates the back part of the moon which is not visible from earth. This forms new moon.

So only relative positions matter in the phases of moon.

Two springs have different spring constants. How could you identify the spring with the greater spring constant value?

Darya [45]

The spring constant determines how far the spring will stretch for a given applied force: F=kx→k=Fx. If we place the same mass on the two springs, which means we have placed the same force on them, the one that stretches least has the largest spring constant.
Hope this helps!

Write a balanced overall reaction from these unbalanced half-reactions. ln->ln3+ cd2+->cd

DochEvi [55]

Oxidation reaction
In ---> In³⁺ + 3e ---1)
reduction reaction
Cd²⁺ + 2e ---> Cd ---2)
when balancing the reactions, electrons have to be balanced. to balance the electrons multiple 1st reaction by 2 and 2nd reaction by 3
1) x 2
2) x 3
2In ---> 2In³⁺ + 6e
3Cd²⁺ + 6e ---> 3Cd
add the 2 equations to obtain the overall reaction

2In + 3Cd²⁺ ---> 2In³⁺ + 3Cd

What is wrong with the following statement? Hal says that his teacher is solely responsible for preventing laboratory accident.

exis [7]

Answer:

Hal is wrong because the teacher can instruct the student, but no make all the choices in a lab.Students must always wear ppe (personal protection equipment) , use proper lab protocol, and conduct themselves in a responsible manner. It is NOT the work of a teacher to ensure lab safety, but in fact the responsibility of said students.
