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.

gregori [183]

Answer:

a)  t = 3.027 10⁻⁹ s ,  b)   y = 2.25 10⁻² m

Explanation:

We can solve this problem using the kinematic relations

a) as on the x-axis there is no relationship

          vₓ = x / t

          t = x / vₓ

We reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

          x = 5.6 cm (1m / 100 vm) = 0.056 m

we calculate

          t = 0.056 / 1.85 10⁷

          t = 3.027 10⁻⁹ s

b) the time is the same for the two movements, on the y axis

         y = v₀t + ½ a t²

         

as the beam leaves horizontal there is no initial vertical velocity

         y = ½ a t²

         

let's calculate

         y = ½  5.45 10¹⁵ (3.027 10⁻⁹)²

         y = 2.25 10⁻² m

what will be the gravitational force between two bodies if the mass of each is doubled and the distance between them is halved?
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Gravitational force will be 16 times more.

Explanation:

we know;

Gravitational force (F) = (Gm1m2)/d^2

when mass of each is doubled and distance between them is halved;

F= (G2m1×2m2)/(d/2)^2

=(4Gm1m2)/(d^2/4)

=4×4(Gm1m2)/d^2

=16(Gm1m2)/d^2

=16F

I need help with this please
kondaur [170]

Answer:

1. The respiratory system functions when our involuntary nervous system sends impulses to the muscles in the diaphragm; thereby, causing the lungs to expand and contract.

2. The respiratory system oxygenates the blood which is vital for bodily function as oxygenated blood is carried from your lungs to the left side of your heart, to be circulated throughout the body. Furthermore deoxygenated blood is carried back to the right side of your heart to get oxygenated once more.

3. The other body systems that are crucial for the lungs to function are the nervous system and the muscular system.

4. without the raspatory system the body wouldn't receive any oxygen and the brain would slowly die. therefore, without the brain the heart would stop functioning and atrophy etc.
