Why must the Moon travel more than a full orbit around the Earth for the full moon to be complete?

Answer:

The difference between the sidereal and synodic months occurs becuase as our moon moves around the earth, the earth also moves around our sun. Our moon must travel a little farther in its path to make up for the added distance and complete the phase cycle.

Explanation:

Hope this helps.

If vector A =i+2j-k and vec A cross vec B =3i-j+5k. find vec B

postnew [5]

Let B = a i + b j + c k. Then the cross product of A = i + 2j - k with B is

A × B = ( i + 2j - k ) × ( a i + b j + c k )

A × B = a ( i × i ) + 2a ( j × i ) - a ( k × i )

… … … + b ( i × j ) + 2b ( j × j ) - b ( k × j )

… … … + c ( i × k ) + 2c ( j × k ) - c ( k × k )

A × B = 0 - 2a k - a j

… … … + b k + 0 + b i

… … … - c j + 2c i - 0

A × B = (b + 2c) i + (-a - c) j + (b - 2a) k

So we have

3 i - j + 5 k = (b + 2c) i + (c - a) j + (b - 2a) k

which gives us the system of equations,

{ b + 2c = 3

{ -a - c = -1

{ -2a + b = 5

Solve for a, b, and c.

• Eliminate c from the first two equations:

(b + 2c) + 2 (-a - c) = 3 + 2 (-1)

-2a + b = 1

But -2a + b = 5, and 5 ≠ 1, so there is no such vector B that satisfies the cross product!

As the result of a thermal inversion the prevailing air temperature profile increases 1°C/100m above the ground level. To what m

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

909.1 m

Explanation:

Rate of temperature increase with 100 m elevation = 1°C

h = Maximum Height

Adiabatic lapse rate = -0.65°C/100 m

We have the relation

$\dfrac{1^{\circ}C}{100}=\dfrac{15^{\circ}C}{h}+\left(-\frac{0.65}{100}\right)\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1^{\circ}C}{100}+\left(-\frac{0.65}{100}\right)=\dfrac{15^{\circ}C}{h}\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{15^{\circ}C}{1.65^{\circ}C}\times 100\\\Rightarrow h=909.1\ m$

The maximum height is 909.1 m

Which of the following is/are ALWAYS true concerning collision and transition state theory?

Scrat [10]

Answer:

1) Transition states are short-lived

Explanation:

Transition state theory explains the rates of elementary chemical reactions. It assumes a quasi-equilibrium between reactants and activated transition state complexes.

The following are the characteristics of transition states

Instability
Ill-defined
High energy
short-lived

The species that must collide for the reaction to occur are shown by the mechanism of reaction and not the balanced reaction itself

Intermediates are consumed in each step of the overall reaction, they are not short lived
