Answer:

It reflects the light send from the sun.

Explanation:

If the moon is between you and the sun, you will see the back of it which doesnt reflect light.

Answer:

The moon is actually quite dim.

Explanation:

compared to other astronomical bodies. The moon only seems bright in the night sky because it is so close to the earth and because the trees, houses, and fields around you are so dark at night. In fact, the moon is one of the least reflective objects in the solar system.

A small steel roulette ball rolls around the inside of a 30 cm diameter roulette wheel. It is spun at 150 rpm, but is slows to 6

liraira [26]

Solution :

Given

Diameter of the roulette ball = 30 cm

The speed ball spun at the beginning = 150 rpm

The speed of the ball during a period of 5 seconds = 60 rpm

Therefore, change of speed in 5 seconds = 150 - 60

= 90 rpm

Therefore,

90 revolutions in 1 minute

or In 1 minute the ball revolves 90 times

i.e. 1 min = 90 rev

60 sec = 90 rev

1 sec = 90/ 60 rec

5 sec = $\frac{90}{60}\times 5$

= 75 rev

Therefore, the ball made 75 revolutions during the 5 seconds.

Please help :/ The same motor is used in rockets with different masses. The rockets have different accelerations. According to N

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

1. As rocket mass increases, acceleration decreases.

2. The inverse of the mass of the boat.

Explanation:

1. Newton's second law of motion states;

F = ma

where F is the force applied, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.

Therefore, increasing the mass of a rocket increases its weight which would reduce its acceleration provided that the force is constant. Thus, as rocket mass increases, acceleration decreases.

2. The slope of the graph can be expressed as;

From Newton's second law,

F = ma

Slope = (Δa) ÷ (ΔF)

Slope = $\frac{a}{F}$

⇒ $\frac{1}{m}$ = $\frac{a}{F}$

Therefore, the slope of the graph is the reciprocal of the mass of the boat.

A parallel-plate capacitor has 2.10 cm × 2.10 cm electrodes with surface charge densities ±1.00×10-6 C/m2. A proton traveling pa

Darya [45]

Answer:

x=0.53 $x10^{-3} m$

Explanation:

Using Gauss law the field is uniform so

E=ζ/ε

Charge densities ⇒ζ=1. $x10x^{-6} \frac{C}{m^{2}}$

ε=8.85 $x10^{-12} \frac{C^{2}}{n*m^{2}}$

$E=\frac{1x10^{-6}\frac{C}{m^{2}}}{8.85x^{-12}\frac{C^{2} }{N*m^{2}}} \\E=0.11299 x10^{-6} \frac{N}{C}$

Force of charge is

$F_{q}=q*E\\F_{q}=1.6x10^{-19}C*0.11299x10^{6}\frac{N}{C} \\F_{q}=1.807x10^{-14} N$

$F_{q}=m*a\\a=\frac{F_{q}}{m}=\frac{1.807x10^{-13}N}{1.67x10^{-27}}\\ a=1.082x0^{14} \frac{m}{s^{2}} \\t=\frac{x}{v}\\ x=2.1cm\frac{1m}{100cm}=0.021m \\v=6.7x10^{6}\frac{m}{s} \\ t=\frac{0.021m}{6.7x10^{6}\frac{m}{s}} \\t=3.13x10^{-9}s$

So finally knowing the acceleration and the time the distance can be find using equation of uniform motion

$x_{f}=x_{o}+\frac{1}{2}*a*t^{2}\\ x_{o}=0\\x_{f}=\frac{1}{2} a*t^{2}=\frac{1}{2}*1.082x10^{14}\frac{m}{s^{2} } *(3.134x^{-9}s)^{2} \\x_{f}=0.53x^{-3}m$
