Both the moon and the sun influence the tides on Earth. The moon has a much greater influence though. Why is that

Because even though the moon is smaller, therefore a weaker gravitational pull, the moon is much closer to the earth than the sun, thus having a greater gravitational pull

An object of mass m is lowered at constant velocity at the end of a string of negligible mass. As it is lowered a vertical dista
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

Mechanical would have been conserved if only the force of gravity (the weight of the object does work on the system). The tension force does work also on the system but negative work instead. The net force acting of the system is zero since the upward tension in the string suspending the object is equal to the weight of the object but acting in the opposite direction. As a result they cancel out. In the equation above the effect of the tension force on the object has been neglected or not taken into consideration. For the mechanical energy E to be conserved, the work done by this tension force must be included into the equation. Otherwise it would seem as though energy has been generated in some manner that is equal in magnitude to the work done by the tension force.

The conserved form of the equation is given by

E = K + Ug + Wother.

In this case Wother = work done by the tension force.

In that form the total mechanical energy is conserved.

(30 Points) A piston–cylinder arrangement containing Nitrogen (N2), initially at 4 bar and 438 K, undergoes an expansion to a fi
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

A. Final pressure P2

P2/P1 = (T2/T1)^n/n-1

P1 = 4bar

T1 = 438K

T2 = 300K

Polytropic index, n, = 1.3

P2 = 4 (300/438)^1.3/1.3-1

P2 = 4 (300/438)^4.333

P2 = 4 * 0.19400

P2 = 0.776bar.

B. The work done is;

W = mR/ n-1 (T1 -T2)

Where, R = 0.1889kJ/kg.K, m = 1

W = 1 * 0.1889/ 1.3-1 * (438-300)

W = 86.89kJ/kg.

C. The heat transfer, Q

Q = W + ΔU

Q = W + mCv(T2-T1), where Cv of nitrogen is 0.743kj/kgk

Q = 86.89 + 1 * 0.743 (300-438)

Q = 86.89 + (-102.534)

Q = -15.644kJ/K

Q = 15.64kJ/K

Two charges are repelling each other with a force magnitude F. If each charge doubled and the distance between the charges becam
eduard

Answer:

(1/4)F

Explanation:

Let F be the force on charges q and q' separated by a distance, d

F = kqq'/d²

Now, if q and q' are doubled, our new charges are 2q and 2q' respectively and, if the distnace is increased by four times, then our new distance is 4d. So our new force F' = k (2q)(2q')/(4d)²

= 4kqq'/16d²

= kqq'/4d²

= F/4

So, the magnitude of our new force is F/4
