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.
Simora [160]3 years ago

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.

The critical angle for a substance is measured at 53.7 degrees. light enters from air at 45.0 degrees. at what angle it will con
faust18 [17]
When light travels from a medium with greater refractive index n_1 to a medium with smaller refractive index n_2, there exists an angle (called critical angle) above which the light is totally reflected, and the value of this angle is given by
\theta_c = \arcsin ( \frac{n_2}{n_1} )
In this problem, we know that the critical angle is\theta_c = 53.7^{\circ}, so we can find the ratio between the refractive indices of the two mediums:
\frac{n_2}{n_1} = \sin \theta_c = \sin 53.7^{\circ} =0.81
and since the second medium is air (n=1.00), the refractive index of the first medium is
n_1=  \frac{n_2}{0.81}= \frac{1.00}{0.81}=1.23

In the second part of the problem, we have light entering from air (n_i = 1.00) at angle of incidence of \theta_i = 45.0 ^{\circ}, into the second medium with n_r = 1.23. By using Snell's law, we can find the angle of refraction of the light inside the medium:
n_i \sin \theta_i = n_r \sin \theta_r
\sin \theta_r =  \frac{n_i}{n_r}  \sin \theta_i = \frac{1.00}{1.23} \sin 45^{\circ}=0.574
\theta_r = \arcsin(0.574)=35.1^{\circ}

A car accelerates from rest. It reaches a velocity of 25m/s in 10 seconds. What was the cars acceleration
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

a = 2.5 m/s^2

Explanation:

u = 0

v = 25

t = 10

(using first eq. of motion)

a = (v - u) /t

a = (25 - 0) /10

a = 25/10

a = 2.5 m/s^2

Without Newton’s third law of motion, what would an object sitting on a table do?
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Newton's third law: If an object A exerts a force on object B, then object B must exert a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction back on object A. This law represents a certain symmetry in nature: forces always occur in pairs, and one body cannot exert a force on another without experiencing a force itself.

two denominational motion is not always projectile motion. in two denominational motion that is not a projectile motion, _______
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

a projectile is an object upon which the only force is gravity. Gravity acts to influence the vertical motion of the projectile, thus causing a vertical acceleration. The horizontal motion of the projectile is the result of the tendency of any object in motion to remain in motion at constant velocity.
