Why do we experience a high tide twice a day?

Physics

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 50.6 g ball of copper has a net charge of 1.6 µc. what fraction of the copper's electrons have been removed? (each copper atom
Fynjy0 [20]
First figure out how many atoms you have with Avogadro's number.  Since there are 63.5 grams/mol and you have 50.6 grams, you have (50.6/63.5)6.022E23=4.7986E23 atoms.  Since there are 29 protons per atom, there are also 29 electrons per atom, so you should have a total of
29*4.7986E23=1.3916E25 electrons.
Since there is a positive charge you know some of these electrons are missing.  How many are missing can be found by dividing the charge you have by the charge on the electron:  1.6E-6/1.6022E-19 = 9.98627E12 electrons are missing.  
Now take the ratio of what is missing to what there should be:
9.98627E12/1.3916E25 = 7.1760873E-13

When an exothermic reaction releases thermal energy, this energy is usually_____.
saw5 [17]

Explanation:

A chemical reaction in which heat or energy is released is known as an exothermic reaction.

On the other hand, when two objects are placed together and heat flows from hotter object to colder object then this process is known as conduction. Therefore, energy is dissipated in conduction process.

Since energy released released goes into the atmosphere and is not used anywhere.

Thus, we can conclude that when an exothermic reaction releases thermal energy, this energy is usually not useable to do work and it is dissipated by conduction.
