The phases of the moon are the changing appearances of the moon, as seen from Earth. Which phase happens immediately after a third quarter moon are the following
Explanation:
- After the full moon (maximum illumination), the light continually decreases. So the waning gibbous phase occurs next. Following the third quarter is the waning crescent, which wanes until the light is completely gone -- a new moon.
waning gibbous phase
- The waning gibbous phase occurs between the full moon and third quarter phases. The last quarter moon (or a half moon) is when half of the lit portion of the Moon is visible after the waning gibbous phase.
Time takes by the moon to go through all the phases
about 29.5 days
- It takes 27 days, 7 hours, and 43 minutes for our Moon to complete one full orbit around Earth. This is called the sidereal month, and is measured by our Moon's position relative to distant “fixed” stars. However, it takes our Moon about 29.5 days to complete one cycle of phases (from new Moon to new Moon).
- At 3rd quarter, the moon rises at midnight and sets at noon. Then we see only a crescent. At new, the moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset, and we don't see any of the illuminated side!
Answer:
20.25 m
Explanation:
- <u>Centripetal acceleration </u>is given by; the square of the velocity, divided by the radius of the circular path.
That is;
<em><u>ac = v²/r</u></em>
<em> </em><em><u> Where; ac = acceleration, centripetal, m/s², v is the velocity, m/s and r is the radius, m</u></em>
Therefore;
r = v²/ac
= 27²/36
= 20.25 m
Hence the radius is 20.25 meters
Answer:
a) -2.038 m/s²
b) 40.33 mph
c) 312.5 m
Explanation:
t = Time taken
u = Initial velocity
v = Final velocity
s = Displacement
a = Acceleration
Acceleration of the boat is -2.083 m/s² if the boat will stop at 150 m.
Speed of the boat by when it will hit the dock is 18.03 m/s
Converting to mph
Speed of the boat by when it will hit the dock is 40.33 mph
The distance at which the boat will have to start decelerating is 312.5 m
In Newton's Cradle experiment we know that all cradles of same mass and identical to each other
Now we know that when two identical objects collide elastically then they interchange their velocity
So here we have same illustration
When Newton pulls up a cradle and release it will move hit another cradle which is at rest
Due to elastic collision between them first cradle comes to rest and another cradle will move ahead with same speed this process remains the same and one by one all cradle hit another.
So at the last the cradle at the end will move off with the same speed as the first cradle will hit with the speed.
So in this experiment the cradle at the last end will move off at same distance away from the right end as that of left end we pull the cradle.
So here we can say that in horizontal direction when all cradles are colliding each other there is no external force on the system so momentum is conserved and they all will move off with same speed and hence we observe the above condition.
