Answer: The moon is said to be in full phase when the illuminated half of the moon is fully in position for us to see it. The "new moon" phase of the lunar cycle happens when the sun, moon, and earth are located in a straight line, with the moon between the earth and the sun. The moon is said to be in a "waxing" phase when it is moving from the new moon phase into the full moon phase. During this time, the amount of visible, illuminated moon will be gradually growing. The moon is said to be in a "waning" phase when it is moving from the full moon phase into the new moon phase. During this time, the visible portion of the moon will appear to be shrinking. A crescent moon occurs close to the new and full moon stages, whether the moon is waxing or waning. At this time, only a small sliver of the illuminated moon is visible to us.

With a mass of 109 kg, Baby Bird is the smallest monoplane ever

OLga [1]

Total resultant velocity=5.11-3.27=1.84m/s

m_1=61.4kg
m_2=109kg
v_1=1.84m/s
v_2=?

$\\ \sf\longmapsto ∆P=P$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto m_1v_1=m_2v_2$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto v_2=\dfrac{m_1v_1}{m_2}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto v_2=\dfrac{61.4(1.84)}{109}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto v_2=112.976/109$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto v_2\approx 1.3m/s$

A man with a weight of 100 N is located

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Given,

mass of man = 100 N = 10 kg

height = h = 25m

since the man does not move anything with his force, work done by him is zero

work done on the man = gain in potential energy

P.E=mgh

P.E=10×9.8×25

P.E=2.45KJ

Explanation:

so, potential energy gained by man is 2.45 KJ

As the hot gas from a space shuttle is released downward, what does this cause to happen?

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

D. Upward force on the shuttle

Explanation:

The hot gas from space shuttles released downward causes an upward force on the shuttle and propels it up the more.

This hot gas is produced from super cooled oxygen and hydrogen tanks within the shuttle.
The upward force on the shuttle allows the craft to escape the gravitational pull of the earth on the shuttle
Special level of rapid acceleration must be attained for the shuttle to escape the earth pull.
