B. The same side of the moon always faces the earth.

C. The moon has much less mass than the earth.

D. The same force that pulls an apple to earth pulls the moon toward the earth.

An engine undergoes a cycle as shown in the diagram. during a complete cycle the work done by the gas is 28.5×103 j and the energy transferred thermally out is 99.4×103 j. there are 1.5×1024 gas molecules and they have three active degrees of freedom. 6. (6 pts) during which process(es) is energy transferred thermally into the gas? a. 1→2 b. 2→3 c. 4→1 d. 1→2 and 4→1 e. none of the above

Why is rain likely when warm, moisture-laden air meets cold air? a) the lighter warm air will rise and cool down, causing condensation and rain. b) the cold air moves faster and pushes the warm air away, causing condensation and rain. c) the moisture in the warm air condenses on contact with the cold air, causing rain to fall. d) the cold air mixes with the warm air, reducing its temperature causing moisture to condense.

The temperature in gavin's oven is a sinusoidal function of time. gavin sets his oven so that it has a maximum temperature of 280°f and a minimum temperature of 240°. once the temperature hits 280°, it takes 20 minutes before it is 280° again. gavin's cake needs to be in the oven for 30 minutes at temperatures at or above 270°. he puts the cake into the oven when it is at 260° and rising. how long will gavin need to leave the cake in the oven? (round your answer to the nearest minute.)
