Why do we experience a high tide twice a day?

Physics
1 answer:
Veseljchak [2.6K]3 years ago
7 0

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. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction?
Andrews [41]

Explanation:

Coefficient of kinetic friction is the resistive force that opposes the motion of a body as it moves and is in contact with another body.

It is found by dividing the frictional force by the normal force.

  • Friction is a force that opposes motion.
  • Static friction is for bodies that are not in motion
  • Kinetic friction is for moving bodies.

N what direction does the medium move relative to the direction of the wave? Explain.
Mashcka [7]
Two types of mechanical waves: longitudinal<span> waves and </span>transverse<span> waves; the medium movement differs between the two.

</span>In a longitudinal wave the medium particle movement is parallel to the direction of wave propagation; example is sound wave in air.

I<span>n a transverse wave the medium particle movement is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation; example is mechanical wave on a string.
