Why is there a delay for the tides to react to the Moon's and Sun's gravitational effect?

1 answer:

7 0

There is no delay because the effects of gravity are constantly acting on bodies of water. Hence, option D is correct.

<h3>What is the gravitational effect?</h3>

Gravitation or just gravity is the force of attraction between any two bodies.

The Moon exerts over twice the gravitational pull of the Sun on Earth's tides because of its proximity to Earth. -The lunar tidal bulges are about twice the size of the solar tidal bulges. -The Sun's contribution to the tides is less than that of the Moon.

When the sun and moon are perfectly unaligned (they form a 90-degree angle relative to the earth), there are still tides because the moon's gravitational gradient is stronger than the sun's. The sun's gravitational gradient never completely cancels out the moon's.

Hence, option D is correct.

A certain gas is found in the exhaust of automobiles and power plants. Consider a 1.53 L sample of a gas at a pressure of 5.6 x

Olegator [25]

The new volume of the gas that has an initial pressure of 5.6 x 10⁵ Pa is 5.7L. Details about volume of the gas can be found below.

<h3>How to calculate volume?</h3>

The volume of a gas can be calculated using the Boyle's law equation as follows:

P1V1 = P2V2

Where;

P1 = initial pressure
P2 = final pressure
V1 = initial volume
V2 = final volume

1.53 × 5.6 × 10⁵ = 1.5 × 10⁵ × V2

8.568 × 10⁵ = 1.5 × 10⁵V2

V2 = 8.57 × 10⁵ ÷ 1.5 × 10⁵

V2 = 5.7L

Therefore, the new volume of the gas that has an initial pressure of 5.6 x 10⁵ Pa is 5.7L.

The solubility of an ionic compound can be expressed as the number of moles of the compound that will dissolve per liter of solu

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

Number of moles of sodium dissolved = 6.0 *10^23

Explanation:

The image for the question is attached

Solution

a) Total 181 ions of Na are dissolved

The number of moles of sodium dissolved = 181/6.023 *10^23

Number of moles of sodium dissolved = 5.987 * 10^23

Number of moles of sodium dissolved = 6.0 *10^23

Question 14 A student dissolves 1.5g of styrene C8H8 in 225.mL of a solvent with a density of 1.02/gmL . The student notices tha

Yuki888 [10]

We must to know:

Cm = molarity = niu / Vs, when the niu = no. of moles and Vs = Volume of solution

the no. niu = mass / molecular mass of substance

molecular mass of C8H8 = 12x8+8x1 = 104 g/mol

=> niu = 1,5 / 104 = 0,0144 moles C8H8

=> Cm = 0,0144/0,225 = 0,06 mol/L

Cmm = molality = niu (C8H8) / mass of solvent (kg)

=> p = mass / V => mass (solvent) = p x V

=> 225 x 1,02 = 229,5 g solvent = 0,2295 kg solvent

=> Cmm = 0,0144 / 0,229,5 = 0,063

Chalk markings cannot be easily rubbed off from a black board if kept for a long time.why?

snow_tiger [21]

The chalk particles embed themselves into the small pores on the surface.

Although a chalkboard seems smooth to the touch, it is quite rough at the microscopic level, with <em>pores</em> that reach below the surface.

When you drag chalk across the board, friction causes small particles of chalk to rub off onto the surface.

If you leave the markings for a long time, some of the chalk particles will work their way into the pores.

A brush will remove the surface particles, but <em>it will not be able to get at the particles in the pores</em>.
