Why do we experience a high tide twice a day?

Physics
1 answer:
Veseljchak [2.6K]4 years ago

Coastal areas experience two low tides and two high tides every lunar day, or 24 hours and 50 minutes. The two tidal bulges caused by inertia and gravity will rotate around the Earth as the moons position changes. These bulges represent high tides while the flat sides indicate low tides.

Over the course of 1 day, the position of the moon does not change very much compared to the rotation of the earth. As the earth rotates below the moon, one point on the earth will go through all levels of tide as the day passes by. Strongly attracted, middling, weakly attracted, and then middleagain. From our perspective it looks like "high, low, high, low." Or equivalently you can think about how the points below the moon and opposite the moon will be high tide, and as the earth rotates, those areas will change.

A car of mass 2400kg moving at 20 m/s slams into a cement wall and comes to a halt?
Brut [27]

Impulse = change in momentum

The car's momentum was (mass) x (speed)

Momentum = (2400 kg) x (20 m/s)

Momentum = 48,000 km-m/s

To completely stop the car, the impulse = -48,000 km-m/s .

What is the fundamental frequency (in Hz) of a 0.632 m long tube, open at both ends, on a day when the speed of sound is 344 m/s
Greeley [361]

Answer:

f=272.15Hz

Explanation:

Given data

Length of tube L=0.632 m

Speed of sound v=344 m/s

To find

Fundamental frequency f

Solution

The fundamental frequency of the tube can be given as:

f=\frac{v}{2L}\\ f=\frac{344m/s}{2(0.632m)}\\ f=272.15Hz

A pulley with the radius of 10.0 cm was connected to a motor with a massless
kogti [31]

Answer:

(i) -556 rad/s²

(ii) 17900 revolutions

(iii) 11250 meters

(iv) -55.6 m/s²

(v) 18 seconds

Explanation:

(i) Angular acceleration is change in angular velocity over time.

α = (ω − ω₀) / t

α = (10000 − 15000) / 9

α ≈ -556 rad/s²

(ii) Constant acceleration equation:

θ = θ₀ + ω₀ t + ½ αt²

θ = 0 + (15000) (9) + ½ (-556) (9)²

θ = 112500 radians

θ ≈ 17900 revolutions

(iii) Linear displacement equals radius times angular displacement:

s = rθ

s = (0.100 m) (112500 radians)

s = 11250 meters

(iv) Linear acceleration equals radius times angular acceleration:

a = rα

a = (0.100 m) (-556 rad/s²)

a = -55.6 m/s²

(v) Angular acceleration is change in angular velocity over time.

α = (ω − ω₀) / t

-556 = (0 − 15000) / t

t = 27

t − 9 = 18 seconds
