Complete Question:

Each lunar cycle has one full moon, in which the relative positions of Earth, the sun, and the moon form in a straight line. Which list represents the position of Earth, the sun, and the moon during a full moon?

Group of answer choices.

A. Earth, sun, moon

B. sun, moon, Earth

C. moon, sun, Earth

D. sun, Earth, moon

Answer:

D. sun, Earth, moon

Explanation:

A lunar eclipse is a phenomenon that occurs when the Earth comes between the Moon and the Sun thereby causing it to cover the Moon with its shadow.

Simply stated, lunar eclipse takes place when the Moon passes or moves through the Earth's shadow thereby blocking any ray of sunlight from reaching the Moon. Thus, the full moon appears deep red (blood moon).

Also, a lunar eclipse would occur only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are closely aligned to form a straight line known as the syzygy.

There are three (3) types of lunar eclipse and these are;

1. Total lunar eclipse.

2. Partial lunar eclipse.

3. Penumbra lunar eclipse.

Each lunar cycle has one full moon, in which the relative positions of Earth, the sun, and the moon form in a straight line. Thus, the list which represents the position of Earth, the sun, and the moon during a full moon is sun, Earth, and moon

What determines the radiation that an electromagnetic wave emits?

seropon [69]

The question is a little confusing. An electromagnetic wave is radiation. One doesn’t emit the other. Take another look at the question and write it again please.

a) Calculate the magnitude of displacement of the car in 40 seconds. b) During which part of the journey was the car acceleratin

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

a) 600 meters

b) between 0 and 10 seconds, and between 30 and 40 seconds.

c) the average of the magnitude of the velocity function is 15 m/s

Explanation:

a) In order to find the magnitude of the car's displacement in 40 seconds,we need to find the area under the curve (integral of the depicted velocity function) between 0 and 40 seconds. Since the area is that of a trapezoid, we can calculate it directly from geometry:

$Area \,\,Trapezoid=(\left[B+b]\,(H/2)\\displacement= \left[(40-0)+(30-10)\right] \,(20/2)=600\,\,m$

b) The car is accelerating when the velocity is changing, so we see that the velocity is changing (increasing) between 0 and 10 seconds, and we also see the velocity decreasing between 30 and 40 seconds.

Notice that between 10 and 30 seconds the velocity is constant (doesn't change) of magnitude 20 m/s, so in this section of the trip there is NO acceleration.

c) To calculate the average of a function that is changing over time, we do it through calculus, using the formula for average of a function:

$Average\,of\,f(x)=\frac{1}{b-a} \int\limits^b_a {f(x)} \, dx$

Notice that the limits of integration for our case are 0 and 40 seconds, and that we have already calculated the area under the velocity function (the integral) in step a), so the average velocity becomes:

$Avearage=\frac{600\,\,m}{40\,\,s}= 15\,\,\frac{m}s}$

Which energy output objects work with the turbine

viktelen [127]

Answer:

The energy output object that works with the turbine is the alternator (generator)

Explanation:

In energy generation the turbine receives input energy from high pressured steam, high energy water etc. Which impinges and turn the blades of the turbine, this turbine is connected by means of a shaft to the alternator that converts the rotational motion of the shaft to electrical energy through Electro magnetic induction principles and also outputs the energy for consumption.
