What causes moon phases, rotation or revolution

Physics
1 answer:
pav-90 [236]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The Moon's monthly

cycle of phases

results from the

changing angle of

its illumination by the Sun.

Because its period of

revolution is the same as its

period of rotation, the Moon

always keeps the same face

toward Earth.

Explain why cooler stars are red and hotter stars are blue
sergey [27]
More cool stars produce much of their light in the red part of the spectrum, so you see them, and bam, the color red. More hot stars, however, produce much more of their light in the green and or yellow spectrums, with much more tinier amounts of red / blue. This balance of the colors, your eye, sees simply as white. The more hot something is, the greater frequency of radiation it produces! Blue light has a higher frequency than red light, so the stars that glow red are cooler, than the stars that glow blue. :)

Hope this helped!

6. What are 3 different evidences of evolution? How is each form used to provide evidence of evolution?
Cloud [144]

Answer:

Divergent - This type of evolution often occurs when closely related species diversify to new habitats. On a large scale, divergent evolution is responsible for the creation of the current diversity of life on earth from the first living cells. On a smaller scale, it is responsible for the evolution of humans and apes from a common primate ancestor.

Convergent - Convergent evolution causes difficulties in fields of study such as comparative anatomy. Convergent evolution takes place when species of different ancestry begin to share analogous traits because of a shared environment or other selection pressure. For example, whales and fish have some similar characteristics since both had to evolve methods of moving through the same medium: water.

Parallel evolution - Parallel evolution occurs when two species evolve independently of each other, maintaining the same level of similarity. Parallel evolution usually occurs between unrelated species that do not occupy the same or similar niches in a given habitat.

A planet has a surface temperature of 95.0 K and an atmospheric pressure of 1.60 atm. If 4.87 L of atmosphere has a mass of 28.6
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

M=28.88 gm/mol

Explanation:

Given that

T= 95 K

P= 1.6 atm

V= 4.87 L

m = 28.6 g

R=0.08206L atm .mol .K

We know that gas equation for ideal gas

P V = n R T

P=Pressure , V=Volume ,n=Moles,T= Temperature ,R=gas constant

Now by putting the values

P V = n R T

1.6 x 4.87  = n x 0.08206 x 95

n=0.99 moles

We know that number of moles given as

n=\dfrac{m}{M}

M=Molar mass

n=\dfrac{m}{M}

0.99=\dfrac{28.6}{M}

M=28.88 gm/mol

How did Archimedes measure the mass of the block of gold?
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
Archimedes found a piece of gold and a piece of silver with exactly the same mass. He dropped the gold  into a bowl filled to the brim with water and measured the volume of water that spilled out. Then he did the same thing with the piece of solver. Although both metals had the same mass, the silver gad a larger volume; therefore, it displaced more water than the gold did. That's because the silver was less dense than gold. Afterwards he applied the same method to the crown for the king he served who had got a new crown from a jeweler who gave it to him. Archimedes found a piece of pure gold that had the same mass as the crown. He placed the pure gold chuck and the crown in water, one at a time. The crown displaced more water the piece of gold. Therefore, its density was less than pure gold.
