Describe the cyclic patterns of lunar phases and eclipses of the Sun and moon.

Cyclic Patterns of Lunar Phases, Eclipses of the Sun and Moon, and Seasons. Waning Gibbous is the size between a Full Moon and a Third Quarter, and means three fourths of a full moon, but getting smaller.
Our Moon's shape doesn't really change — it only appears that way! The “amount” of Moon that we see as we look from Earth changes in a cycle that repeats about once a month (29.5 days). The relative positions of our Sun, Earth, and Moon, cause these changes.

As the Sun sets, the Moon rises with the side that faces Earth fully exposed to sunlight (5).The Moon has phases because it orbits Earth, which causes the portion we see illuminated to change. The Moon takes 27.3 days to orbit Earth, but the lunar phase cycle (from new Moon to new Moon)

this helps

A copper ball and an aluminum ball of mass 150 g each are heated to 100°C and then cooled to a temperature of 20°C. The heat los
nevsk [136]

The specific heat of aluminum is actually simply a diversion. Because we can directly compute for the specific heat of copper using the formula:

ΔH = m C ΔT

where ΔH is change in enthalpy or heat lost, m is mass, C is specific heat and ΔT is change in temp

 

4,600 J = 150 g * C * (100 °C - 20°C)

C = 0.38 J/g°C

How do positive and negative acceleration differ?
Greeley [361]

Answer:

1. positive acceleration represents an object speeding up; negative acceleration represents an object slowing down

Explanation:

Acceleration is clearly defined as the rate of change of velocity with time. When are body is speeding up as we say, it is accelerating. When a body is coming to rest, it is decelerating.

Positive acceleration occurs when the speed of a moving continues to increase.

Negative acceleration is when the speed of a moving body reduces drastically.

If an object has a mass of 38 kg, what is its approximate weight on earth?
klasskru [66]
38*10=380 N
To be more exact, 38 should be multiplied by 9.8 instead of 10.
