Answer:
x-component = 0.237 [m]
Explanation:
In order to solve this problem in an easy way, we must first make a sketch of the vector and its respective angle with the X-axis, in the attached image we can see that sketch.
Since the X component of the vector is needed, this component can be found by means of the cosine of the angle and its hypotenuse.
x-component = 0.250*cos(18.4)
x-component = 0.237 [m]

The RC time constant, also called tau, the time constant (in seconds) of an RC circuit, is equal to the product of the circuit resistance (in ohms) and the circuit capacitance (in farads), i.e.
Here,
R = Resistance
C = Capacitance
Replacing we have that
Therefore the time constant of this circuit is
Answer:
D. The moon is closer to Earth than the sun.
Explanation:
Tides are formed as a consequence of the differentiation of gravity due to the moon across to the Earth sphere.
Since gravity variate with the distance:
(1)
Where m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects that are interacting and r is the distance
For example, see the image below, point A is closer to the moon than point b and at the same time the center of mass of the Earth will feel more attracted to the moon than point B. Therefore, that creates a tidal bulge in point A and point B.
The Sun tidal force contributes to the tidal force of the moon over the earth making high tides higher and low tides lower.
However, even when the sun is more massive than the moon, it is farther away from the Earth than the moon. So, it is clear by equation 1 that the moon's gravity has a greater effect on Earth's oceans than the sun's gravity.
