What does it mean if the moon is waxing and waning

Physics

Both verbs come from Olde English. 
That's why everybody clearly understood their meaning until
a hundred years ago, but nobody understands them now.


"Waxing"  =  growing

For two weeks after the New Moon, it's growing toward Full.
First it's a waxing crescent for a week, then it's waxing gibbous.


"Waning"  =  shrinking

For two weeks after the Full Moon, it's shrinking toward New.
First it's waning gibbous for a week, then it's a waning crescent.

A tube 1.20 m long is closed at one end. A stretched wire is placed near the open end. The wire is 0.350 m long and has a mass o
Ksju [112]

Answer:

71.4583 Hz

67.9064 N

Explanation:

L = Length of tube = 1.2 m

l = Length of wire = 0.35 m

m = Mass of wire = 9.5 g

v = Speed of sound in air = 343 m/s

The fundamental frequency of the tube (closed at one end) is given by

f=\frac{v}{4L}\\\Rightarrow f=\frac{343}{4\times 1.2}\\\Rightarrow f=71.4583\ Hz

The fundamental frequency of the wire and tube is equal so he fundamental frequency of the wire is 71.4583 Hz

The linear density of the wire is

\mu=\frac{m}{l}\\\Rightarrow \mu=\frac{9.5\times 10^{-3}}{0.35}\\\Rightarrow \mu=0.02714\ kg/m

The fundamental frequency of the wire is given by

f=\frac{1}{2l}\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}\\\Rightarrow f^2=\frac{1}{4l^2}\frac{T}{\mu}\\\Rightarrow T=f^2\mu 4l^2\\\Rightarrow T=71.4583^2\times 0.02714\times 4\times 0.35^2\\\Rightarrow T=67.9064\ N

The tension in the wire is 67.9064 N

A 4,000 kg boat floats with one-third of its volume submerged. if two more people get into the boat, each of whom weighs 690 n,
AveGali [126]

 

The weightiness of the added water displaced is equivalent to the joined weight of the two extra people who come to be into the boat:


<span>m water g                   = 2 x 690 N</span>

<span>                                   = 1,380 N</span>

<span>
</span>

The mass of the water displace is then


<span>m water g                   = 1,380 N</span>

<span>                                   = 1,380 N / 9.8 m/s^2</span>

<span>                                   = 141 kg</span>

<span>
</span>

Compute the calculation for density for the volume of water displace and practice this outcome for the mass of the water displace to get the answer:


<span>p water                      = mass of water / volume of water</span>

<span>
</span>

<span>volume of water        = mass of water / p water</span>

<span>                                  = 141 kg / 1000 kg /m^3 eliminate kilogram</span>

<span>                                  = 0.14 m^3 the additional volume of water that is displaced</span>

Where do buoyant forces act on?
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

The upward buoyancy force on an object acts through the overall center of buoyancy, being the centroid of the displaced volume of fluid. The weight force on the object acts through its center of gravity.

A soccer player attempting to steal the ball from an opponent was extending her knee at 50 deg/s when her foot struck the oppone
denpristay [2]

Answer:

\alpha = -4.36 rad/s^2

Explanation:

Initial angular speed of the player is given as

\omega = 50 deg/s

here we know that

1 deg = \frac{\pi}{180} rad

now we know that

\omega = 50\frac{\pi}{180}

\omega = 0.87 rad/s

now its speed comes to zero in 0.2 s

so angular acceleration is given as

\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{\Delta t}

\alpha = \frac{0 - 0.87 rad/s}{0.2 s}

\alpha = -4.36 rad/s^2
