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

When non-metric units were used in the United Kingdom, a unit of mass called the pound-mass (lbm) was employed, where 1lbm=0.453
Drupady [299]

Answer:

a) 0.022%

b) 10014.32 lb

Explanation:

a) Percentage uncertainty would be

0.0001\times \frac{100}{0.4539}=0.022%

Percent uncertainty is 0.022%

b) For 1 kg uncertainty mass in kg would be

\frac{1}{0.022}\times {100}=4545.5\ kg

Mass in pounds would be

\frac{4545.5}{0.4539}=10014.32\ lb

Mass in pound-mass is 10014.32 lb

A 120 kg box is on the verge of slipping down an inclined plane with an angle of inclination of 47º. What is the coefficient of
Alex_Xolod [135]

Given :

A 120 kg box is on the verge of slipping down an inclined plane with an angle of inclination of 47º.

To Find :

The coefficient of static friction between the box and the plane.

Solution :

Vertical component of force :

mg\ sin\ \theta =  120\times 10 \times sin\ 47^\circ{}=877.62 \ N

Horizontal component of force(Normal reaction) :

mg\ cos\ \theta =  120\times 10 \times cos\ 47^\circ{}=818.40 \ N

Since, box is on the verge of slipping :

mg\ sin\ \theta= \mu(mg \ cos\ \theta)\\\\\mu = tan \ \theta\\\\\mu = tan\ 47^o\\\\\mu = 1.07

Therefore, the coefficient of static friction between the box and the plane is 1.07.

Hence, this is the required solution.
