HELP ASAP PLEASE - Which best describes how the arrangement of the sun, moon, and the earth affect the range of the tides during

a spring tide?
A. Because the earth, moon, and sun are all out of alignment, the pull of the moon and sun act in the opposite direction causing the highest high tides and the lowest low tides.


B. Because the earth, moon, and sun are in alignment, the pull of the moon and sun act in the same direction, causing the highest high tides and the lowest low tides.


C. Because the earth, moon, and sun are all out of alignment, the pull of the moon and sun act in the opposite direction, causing the lowest high tides and the highest low tides.


D. Because the earth, moon, and sun are all in alignment, the pull of the moon and sun act in the same direction causing the lowest high tides and the highest low tides.

B. When the sun and the moon are aligned, their combined gravitational force attracts the water, causing super high tides on one side of the planet, and super low tides on the opposite side.

Answer: B. Because the earth, moon, and sun are in alignment, the pull of the moon and sun act in the same direction, causing the highest high tides and the lowest low tides.

Explanation:

The rise in level of waves due to gravitational pull of the sun and the moon are tides. Spring tides occur during new moon or full moon when the Sun, the Moon and The Earth all align in one straight line. The strong gravitational pull causes the highest high tides and the lowest low tides. Thus, the correct option is B.

________ occurs when the horizontal winds move air against mountain ranges, forcing air to rise as it passes over the mountains.
Semenov [28]
The answer would be:
Precipitation sometimes occurs when the horizontal winds move air against mountain ranges, forcing air to rise as it passes over the mountains.
This happens when the air is forced to move from low elevation to high elevation due to rising terrain. This causes the air to cool adiabatically. This increases the relative humidity and causes clouds to form, under certain conditions it can also create precipitation.

How much work is done if 10 N is applied to a 5kg object for 10 meters if there is an opposing force of 5 N
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

50 J

Explanation:

The net force acting on the box is given by the algebraic sum of the two forces, so:

F=10 N -5 N = 5 N

The net work done on the box is equal to (assuming the net force is parallel to the displacement of the object)

W=Fd

where

F = 5 N is the net force on the object

d = 10 m is the displacement of the object

Substituting,

W=(5 N)(10 m)=50 J
