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 rod of mass M = 4 kg, length L = 1.8 meters, and moment of inertia ML2/12 is free to move on a frictionless surface. The rod i
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

The speed of the rod's center of mass after the collision is 6 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of rod = 4 kg

Length l = 1.8 m

Moment of inertia I=\dfrac{ML^2}{12}

Mass of puck = 0.4 kg

Initial speed= 20 m/s

Distance = 0.3 m

Final speed = 10 m/s

(a). We need to calculate the speed v of the rod's center of mass after the collision

As there is no external force acting on the system so, linear and angular momentum of the system will be conserved.

Using conservation of momentum

m_{i}v_{i}=m_{f}v_{f}+Mv

Put the value into the formula

0.4\times20=-0.4\times10+2v

v=\dfrac{8+4}{2}

v=6\ m/s

Hence, The speed of the rod's center of mass after the collision is 6 m/s.

A 5/8-in. (inside) diameter garden hose is used to fill a round swimming pool 4.6 m in diameter. Part A How long will it take to
drek231 [11]

Answer:

t = 2.26 10⁵ s

Explanation:

Let's calculate the flow of water that comes out of the hose

         Q = A v

The area of ​​a circle is

        A = π r²

       Q = π r² v

Let's reduce the units to the SI system

       d = 5/8 in (2.54 10⁻² m / in) = 1.5875 10⁻² m

       r = d / 2 = 0.79375 10⁻² m

       Q = π (0.79375 10⁻²)² 0.59

       Q = 1.1678 10⁻⁴ m³ / s

Let's calculate the volume of the pool

       V = π R² h

       V = π (4.6 / 2)²  1.6

       V = 26.59 m³

Let's use a rule of proportions (rule of three), to find the time

       t = 26.59 (1 / 1.1678 10⁻⁴)

       t = 22.77 10⁴ s

       t = 2.26 10⁵ s

All the mass we ever encounter is positive - nothing weighs less than zero. What makes us think charge is different that there a
egoroff_w [7]

Based on the number of positive and negative charges

<u>Explanation</u>:

  1. In a positive charge particle, the  number of proton is higher than the number of electron. Due to this fact alone, we can come to the conclusion that positive charge consists of more number of protons than electrons.
  2. In a negative charge particle, the  number of electron is higher than the number of proton. Due to this fact alone, we can come to the conclusion that negative charge consists of more number of electrons than protons.

About how long does it take the sun to rotate once about its axis?
Troyanec [42]

Very very roughly, an Earth month.

The Sun isn't solid, so it doesn't all have to rotate at the same rate. Different latitudes actually rotate at different speeds. One complete rotation is about 24 days at the Sun's equator, but 35 days near the poles !
