Answer:

Tides are caused by moon.

Explanation:

The tides are primarily formed by the gravitational attraction of moon on the surface of oceans.

At the time of full moon and new moon, the tides are higher because at that time, there is a gravitational pull of sun also which adds up with the gravitational pull of moon.

An electric fan has the power output of 60W. How much work is done if the fan operates for 120s?

Digiron [165]

Since power = work done/time, 60= work done/120, work done = 120*60 = 7200. So,work done = 7200N (Newton).
I'm not sure if you're supposed to convert the seconds to time.

All but two gaps within a set of Venetian blinds have been blocked off to create a double-slit system. These gaps are separated

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Explanation:

separation between two gaps, d = 5 cm

angle between central and second order maxima, θ = 0.52°

use

d Sinθ = n λ

n = 2

0.05 x Sin 0.52° = 2 x λ

λ = 2.27 x 10^-4 m

λ = 226.9 micro metre

An airplane accelerates from a speed of 88m/s to a speed of 132 m/s during a 15 second time interval. How far did the airplane t

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

$1650\:\mathrm{m}$

Explanation:

We can use the following kinematics equations to solve this problem:

$v_f=v_i+at,\\{v_f}^2={v_i}^2+2a\Delta x$ .

Using the first one to solve for acceleration:

$132=88+a(15),\\15a=44,\\a=\frac{44}{15}=2.9\bar{3}\:\mathrm{m/s^2}$ .

Now we can use the second equation to solve for the distance travelled by the airplane:

$132^2=88^2+2\cdot2.9\bar{3}\cdot \Delta x,\\\Delta x= \frac{9680}{2\cdot2.9\bar{3}},\\\Delta x =\fbox{$ 1650\:\mathrm{m}$}$ (three significant figures).
