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.

A 70 kg driver gets into an empty taptap to start the day's work. The springs compress 2.3×10−2 m . What is the effective spring

ANEK [815]

Answer:

29856.521 N/m

Explanation:

$m=Mass\ of\ diver=70\ kg\\x=Length\ compressed\ by\ spring=2.3\times 10^{-2}\ m\\a=Acceleration\ due\ to\ gravity=9.81\ m/s^2\\F=Force\ exerted\ by\ diver=m\times a\\\Rightarrow F=70\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow F=686.7\ N\\k=spring\ constant\\F=k\times x\\\Rightarrow k=\frac {F}{x}\\\Rightarrow k=\frac {686.7}{2.3\times 10^{-2}}\\\therefore k=29856.521\ N/m$

Why air pollution is a problem?

Strike441 [17]

1. Air pollution is a problem because it can cause damage to animals, trees, plants, crops and water sources in the environment. Pollution in the air causes problems for aviation because it reduces visibility, while also being responsible for damaging buildings and other structures.
2. The air we breathe has a very exact chemical composition; 99 percent of it is made up of nitrogen, oxygen, water vapor and inert gases. Air pollution occurs when things that aren't normally there are added to the air. A common type of air pollutionhappens when people release particles into the air from burning fuels.
3. Pollution prevention (P2) is any practice that reduces, eliminates, or prevents pollution at its source. ... Reducing the amount of pollution produced means less waste to control, treat, or dispose of. Less pollution means less hazards posed to public health and the environment.
4. Why is it so important to have clean air?
