From the diagram we have that

sin\theta = \frac{2}{4}

\theta = sin^{-1} (\frac{1}{2})

\theta = 30\°

Therefore the direction is 30° from east of south

Drupady [299]

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!

A 120-V rms voltage at 1000 Hz is applied to an inductor, a 2.00-μF capacitor and a 100-Ω resistor, all in series. If the rms va
natima [27]

Answer:

The inductance of the inductor is 35.8 mH

Explanation:

Given that,

Voltage = 120-V

Frequency = 1000 Hz

Capacitor C= 2.00\mu F

Current = 0.680 A

We need to calculate the inductance of the inductor

Using formula of current

I = \dfrac{V}{Z}

Z=\sqrt{R^2+(L\omega-\dfrac{1}{C\omega})^2}

Put the value of Z into the formula

I=\dfrac{V}{\sqrt{R^2+(L\omega-\dfrac{1}{C\omega})^2}}

Put the value into the formula

0.680=\dfrac{120}{\sqrt{(100)^2+(L\times2\pi\times1000-\dfrac{1}{2\times10^{-6}\times2\pi\times1000})^2}}

L=35.8\ mH

Hence, The inductance of the inductor is 35.8 mH

X-rays travel in vacuum at a higher speed than the visible light. (A) True (B) False
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

(B) False

Explanation:

The visible light and the x-rays are part of the electromagnetic spectrum, all in the spectrum travel in the vacuum at the same speed, at the speed of light (c = 299,792,458 m/s ). If the visible light ant the x-rays are traveling inside a medium, their velocity will change due to the properties of the medium but in the vacuum, their speed is the same.
