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.

You have a lightweight spring whose unstretched length is 4.0 cm. First, you attach one end of the spring to the ceiling and han

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

2.2nC

Explanation:

Call the amount by which the spring’s unstretched length L,

the amount it stretches while hanging x1

and the amount it stretches while on the table x2.

Combining Hooke’s law with Newton’s second law, given that the stretched spring is not accelerating,

we have mg−kx1 =0, or k = mg /x1 , where k is the spring constant. On the other hand,

applying Coulomb’s law to the second part tells us ke q2/ (L+x2)2 − kx2 = 0 or q2 = kx2(L+x2)2/ke,

where ke is the Coulomb constant. Combining these,

we get q = √(mgx2(L+x2)²/x1ke =2.2nC

A person has legs of length L = 1.10 m. (a) If the maximum angle between the legs during walking is ϕ = 50o , what is the person

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

a). Maximum Length L=0.929m

b). T=0.83 Hz or 1.2s

c). Longer, the effortless waling T=2.1 Hz or t=0.475s

d). t=1.2s V=0.774 $\frac{m}{s}$

t=0.475s V=1.95 $\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

Length legs=L=1.1m

angle=50

the step that give the person forms a triangle whose two sides are known and the angle that forms between them, then using trigonometry as the image

Divide the original triangle in two and form a right triangle so the angle is 25 and the L is hypotenuse and the opposite is the step length

a).

$sin(\alpha) =\frac{op}{h}$

$op=h*sin(\frac{\alpha }{2})\\ op=1.1m*sin(\frac{50}{2})\\op=0.464m$

Length of the step

L=0.464m*2

L=0.928m

b).

period=T

$T=\frac{1}{time}=\frac{1}{t}\\ T=\frac{1}{1.2s}\\T=0.83 s^{-1}\\ T=0.83Hz$

c).

$T1=2\pi *\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}} \\T1=2\pi *\sqrt{\frac{1.1m}{9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}}}\\ T1=2.1 Hz$

The period is the inverse of the time of the motion so, the T1 is faster that the T because

$t=\frac{1}{T1}=t= \frac{1}{2.1}=0.47s$

d).

The speed is the relation between the distance with time so:

$Vt=\frac{0.928m}{1.2s} \\Vt=0.773 \frac{m}{s} \\Vt=\frac{0.928m}{0.475s} \\Vt=1.953 \frac{m}{s}$
