It is true that only half of the moon is always illuminated by the sun.  The reason why the moon changes it phases is because Moon orbits around the Earth, and due to this some areas of the half of the moon will not be lit by the sun.

Answer:

Speed at which it will reach the ground is given as

v_f = 46.8 m/s

Total time for which it will remain in air is given as

t = 6.3 s

Explanation:

As we know that the object is projected upwards with speed

v_i = 15 m/s

g = - 9.81 m/s^2

now when it will reach the ground then we have

y = v_y t + \frac{1}{2} at^2

so we have

-100 = 15 t - \frac{1}{2}(-9.81) t^2

4.905 t^2 - 15 t - 100 = 0

so we have

t = 6.3 s

Now speed of the object when it reaches the ground is given as

v_f = v_i + at

v_f = -15 + (9.81)(6.3)

v_f = 46.8 m/s

A positive charge of 1 µC is taken from points A & B such that VA-VB = 100 V. Then the
Lunna [17]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Let Charge of 1\ \mu C is taken from points A & B such that V_A-V_B=1000\ V.

We need to find the energy of charge. Electric potential is defined as the work done per unit of electric charge. So,

W=(V_B-V_A)q\\\\W=-1000\times 10^{-6}\\\\W=E=-10^{-3}\ J

So, the energy of charge decreases by 10^{-3}\ J. Hence, the correct option  is (a).

Which describes refraction? *
sergey [27]

Answer:

Refracted rays travel through a boundary into a new medium.

Explanation:

Refracted rays travel through a boundary into a new medium. is only true for refraction.

The angle of incidence is the same for angle of refraction, is not true for refraction. Refraction follows Snell's law, states that ratio of the sine of the angle of refraction and the sine of the angle of incidence is always constant and equivalent to the ratio of phase velocities of the two mediums it is passing through.

Refracted rays change direction and go back to the original medium is false for refraction however, it is true for reflection.

Choose the option that best answers the question. The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 16 ft longer than the length of the shor
FrozenT [24]

Answer: The hypotenuse is 26 ft.

Step-by-step explanation: Let's call the shorter leg of the triangle x. The hypotenuse would be x + 16 and the other leg is y.

As the area is 120, we know that x.y/2 = 120 (because it's a right triangle).

This way, y = 240/x

we know that in a right triangle, we have a² = b² + c²

(x + 16)² = x² + y²

(x + 16)² = x² + (240/2)²

x² + 32x + 256 = x² + 57600/x²

32x + 256 = 57600/x²

32x³ + 256x² = 57600 (÷ 32)

x³ + 8x² = 1800

x = 10

∴

x + 16 = 26

y = 240/10 = 24
