Answer:

* he new moon phase when the position is Sun - Moon - Earth,

* have of the Full Moon when the position is Sun - Earth - Moon,

*All the phases of the moon are governed by the movement of the Moon around the Earth.

Explanation:

In the solar system, the planets revolve around the sun, which is much more massive, in the case of the Earth it is more massive than its satellite, therefore the Moon revolves around the Earth in a period of approximately 28 days.

It is said that the moon is in the new moon phase when the position is Sun - Moon - Earth, so the moon cannot be seen

It is in the phase of the Full Moon when the position is

Sun - Earth - Moon, in this case the moon can be observed by the light reflected from it.

All the phases of the moon are governed by the movement of the Moon around the Earth.

Answer:

Given that

speed u=4*10^6 m/s

electric field E=4*10^3 N/c

distance b/w the plates d=2 cm

basing on the concept of the electrostatices

now we find the acceleration b/w the plates to find the horizontal distance traveled by the electron when it hits the plate.

acceleration a=qE/m= $1.6*10^{-19}*4*10^3/9.1*10^{-31} =0.7*10^{15}$ = $7*10^{14}$ m/s

now we find the horizontal distance traveled by electrons hit the plates

horizontal distance

$X=u[2y/a]^{1/2}$

= $4*10^6[2*2*10^{-2}/7*10^{14}]^{1/2}$

= $3*10^{-2}$ = 3 cm

3. Imagine a 10kg block moving with a speed of 20m/s<br> calculate the kinetic energy of this block

MatroZZZ [7]

The formula of the kinetic energy is:
$E_{k} = \frac{m v^{2} }{2}$
where m is a mass of the object, v is speed of the object at the moment of time. So we have:
$E_{k} = \frac{10* 20^{2} }{2} = 2000J$
The answer is 2000 Joules.

Describe the importance of SI units?

anyanavicka [17]

SI unit is an international system of measurements that are used universally in technical and scientific research to avoid the confusion with the units. Having a standard unit system is important because it helps the entire world to understand the measurements in one set of unit system.

An inductor is connected in series to a fully charged capacitor. Which of the following statements are true? Check all that appl

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

As the capacitor is discharging, the current is increasing

Explanation:

Lets take

C= Capacitance

L=Inductance

V=Voltage

I= Current

The total energy E given as

$E=\dfrac{IL^2}{2}+\dfrac{CV^2}{2}$

We know that total energy E is conserved so when electric energy 1/2 CV² decreases then magnetic energy 1/2 IL² will increases.

It means that when charge on the capacitor decreases then the current will increase.

As the capacitor is discharging, the current is increasing
