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)

What best describes the dropping height of a ball that bounced back up to a height of 45 centimeters?

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:C:Less than 45 centimeters, as the ball transforms some of its potential energy into thermal energy and sound energy

Less than 45 centimeters, as the ball transforms some of its potential energy into thermal energy and sound energy.

Although the initial energy (potential energy is preserved), the energy of deformation as the ball strikes a surface creates energy dissipation in the form of frictional heat and audible sound energy.

Every time the ball bounces, its height will be less than its previous height.

Weight is used most often for measuring____________________ whereas volume is used most often for measuring_____________________

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

Weight is used most often for measuring solid whereas volume is used most often for measuring liquid.

Explanation:

Weight is used most often for measuring solid, because solids have definite shape. Weight is usually expressed in Newton (N) because it is a function of mass and gravity. ( weight = mass x gravity).

Whereas volume is used most often for measuring liquid, usually expressed in cubic meter (m³) because liquids have no definite shape, rather they occupy the volume of their container.

What is the electric potential, i.e. the voltage, 0.30 m from a point charge of 6.4 x 10-C?

Gwar [14]

Answer:

V = 192 kV

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge, $q=6.4\times 10^{-6}\ C$

Distance, r = 0.3 m

We need to find the electric potential at a distance of 0.3 m from a point charge. The formula for electric potential is given by :

$V=\dfrac{kq}{r}\\\\V=\dfrac{9\times 10^9\times 6.4\times 10^{-6}}{0.3}\\\\V=192000\ V\\\\V=192\ kV$

So, the required electric potential is 192 kV.
