Answer:

Spring tides occur when the moon is full or new. Earth, the moon, and the Sun are in a line. The moon’s gravity and the Sun’s gravity pull Earth’s crust and ocean water. This causes tides to be higher than normal. At neap tide, the moon and the Sun are at right angles to each other. This happens during the first and third quarters of the lunar cycle. At neap tide, the Sun’s gravity and the moon’s gravity are balanced. High tides are lower; low tides are higher.

If you heat a fixed quantity of gas, which of the following statements are true?Check all that apply.a.The volume will always in

kherson [118]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

there is fix Quantity of gas i.e. mass of gas is constant

From ideal gas Equation

PV=nRT

(a) volume always increases is not true as Pressure can also be increased .

(b)If Pressure is constant along with mass then as Temperature increases, Volume also increases.

(c)true , Product of Pressure and volume depends upon temperature thus it also increases with temperature.

(d)Density of gas may or may not increases

As density is $\frac{mass}{volume}$

volume may increase or decrease as temperature increase .

(e)false

as it clearly stated that quantity of fixed therefore there is no change in gas

A private aviation helicopter's main rotor blades rotate at approximately

Arisa [49]

Answer: 7.5 rev/s

Explanation:

We are given the angular velocity $\omega$ a helicopter's main rotor blades:

$\omega=450 rpm=450 \frac{rev}{min}$

However, we are asked to express this $\omega$ in the International Systrm (SI) units. In this sense, the SI unit for time is second ( $s$ ):

$\omega=450 \frac{rev}{min} \frac{1 min}{60 s}$

$\omega=7.5 \frac{rev}{s}$

A 100 kg person rides in an elevator moving at a constant speed of

Airida [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

All this information only applies to the person. There is an extra tension force if we are talking about the elevator, but we are not. Dont forget to apply the units

Acceleration means change in speed or velocity. The elevator is moving at a constant speed of 3 meters. You wont even know you are moving because there is no change in acceleration. It equals 0

The forces ONLY acting on the person would be the force of gravity pulling them down, and the normal force that the elevator is reciprocating from the person standing on it.

Force = mass x acceleration. You have 100 kg and you are accelerating at 0 m/s. The force is 0. Which makes sense because the force of gravity and the net force completely cancel each other out.

2 H2O2-> 2H20+02

Luden [163]

Answer:

This reaction is of the spontaneous decomposition of hydrogen peroxide down into water and oxygen. Add 2 molecules of hydrogen peroxide and 2 molecules of water. Since oxygen is naturally diatomic, the total number of atoms of each element is now the same on both sides of the equation so it is balanced.

4]Two moles of hydrogen peroxide H2O2 decomposes to produce two moles of water H2O and one mole of oxygen gas O2(g) , which then bubbles off
