What does it mean if the moon is waxing and waning

Physics
1 answer:
konstantin123 [22]2 years ago
6 0
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.

Which of the following is an effect of the electric force?
stich3 [128]

As we know that two charges exert force on each other when they are placed near to each other

The force between two charges is given as

F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

here we know that

q_1, q_2 = two different point charges

r = distance between two point charges

also we know that two similar charges always repel each other while two opposite charges always attract each other

so here correct answer would be

<em>A. A positive and negative charge attract each other.</em>

How far should the second antenna be moved in order to receive a minimum signal from a station that broadcasts at 99.4 MHz?
raketka [301]

Answer:

So the distance of the antenna from the station will be 3.018 m

Explanation:

We have given the frequency of the broadcast f=99.4MHz=99.4\times 10^4Hz

The speed of light c=3\times 10^8m/sec

The distance of the antenna to receive a minimum signal from the station is given by d=\frac{v}{f}=\frac{3\times 10^{8}}{99.4\times 10^6}=3.018m

So the distance of the antenna from the station will be 3.018 m

Two identical bullets are used. Both are released at the same height - one fired out of a gun, the other is dropped. Ignoring ai
irina [24]

Answer:

Both bullets will hit the ground at the same time.

Explanation:

Let's only analyze the vertical problem.

Any object that is not in the floor or resting in some site is being affected by the gravitational force (remember that we are ignoring air resistance)

Then the acceleration of this object will be equal to the gravitational acceleration:

a = -9.8m/s^2

Where the minus sign is because this acceleration goes down.

To get the velocity equation we need to integrate over time, we will get:

v(t) = ( -9.8m/s^2)*t + v0

Where v0 is the initial vertical velocity.

To get the position equation we need to integrate over time again, we will get:

p(t) = (1/2)*( -9.8m/s^2)*t^2 + v0*t + H

Where H is the initial height.

p(t) = (-4.9 m/s^2)*t^2 + v0*t + H

The object will hit the ground when p(t) = 0

Then we need to solve for t the next equation:

(-4.9 m/s^2)*t^2 + v0*t + H = 0

Notice that the only things we need to know are:

H = initial height (we know that is the same for both bullets)

v0 = initial vertical velocity (also is the same for both bullets)

Notice that the horizontal velocity does not affect this equation, then we will get the same value of t for the dropped bullet and for the fired bullet.

This means that both bullets will hit the ground at the same time.
