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)




Hope
this helps

Scientists have been observing Earth for a long time. They use NASA satellites and other instruments to collect many types of information about Earth's land, atmosphere, ocean and ice. This information tells us that Earth's climate is getting warmer.


Extra:

Extra greenhouse gases in our atmosphere are the main reason that Earth is getting warmer. Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane, trap the Sun's heat in Earth's atmosphere.

It's normal for there to be some greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. They help keep Earth warm enough to live on. But too many greenhouse gases can cause too much warming.

The burning of fossil fuels like coal and oil increase the amount of CO2 in our air. This happens because the burning process combines carbon with oxygen in the air to make CO2.

It's important that we monitor CO2 levels, because too much CO2 can cause too much warming on Earth. Several NASA missions have instruments that study CO2 in the atmosphere.

pickupchik [31]

How do you find instantaneous velocity

Select a point on a distance-time curve graph. Draw a tangent to the curve at that point. Tangent -> hypotenuse of right angled triangle. Opp/adjacent in graph units is vel at that point -> in distance and/or time

Point masses m1 m2 are placed at opposite ends
tiny-mole [99]

(a) x = \frac{m_2L}{m_1+m_2}

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Moment of Inertia of m₁ about the axis, I₁ = m₁x²

Moment of Inertia of m₂ about the axis. I₂ = m₂ (L - x)²

Kinetic energy is rotational.

Total kinetic energy is E = \frac{1}{2} I_1w_0^2 + \frac{1}{2}I_2w_0^2 = \frac{1}{2} w_0^2(m_1x^2 + m_2(L-x)^2)

Work done is change in kinetic energy.

To minimize E, differentiate wrt x and equate to zero.

m_1x - m_2(L-x) = 0\\\\x = \frac{m_2L}{m_1+m_2}

Alternatively, work done is minimum when the axis passes through the center of mass.

Center of mass is at \frac{m_2L}{m_1 + m_2}

Which of the following is true in regard to a charged atom?
anzhelika [568]
I believe a charged Atom is an ion. And that a charged atom possess it's charge due to the different number of electrons that it possess. Unlike an uncharged atom or neutral atom, a charged atom may possess more or less than the number of electrons found in an uncharged atom.
