Answer: The correct answer is Option A.

Explanation:

Spring tides occur when the Sun, the Moon and The Earth, all align in the same line. The gravitational pull of the Sun and the Moon, both contribute to the occurrence of these tides. These tides occur twice each lunar month without any regard to the season. Hence, these tides have higher high tides and lower low tides.

Neap tides occur when the Sun and the Moon form right angles with the Earth. The total gravitational pull gets weakened because it acts from two different directions. These occur twice a month. These tides have lower high tides and higher low tides.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

What other factor affected the gravitational force between the two objects in this simulation?

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

The strength of the gravitational force between two objects depends on two factors, mass and distance. the force of gravity the masses exert on each other. If one of the masses is doubled, the force of gravity between the objects is doubled. increases, the force of gravity decreases

A student pulls on a rope attached to a box of books and moves the box down the hall. The student pulls with a force of 185N at

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

$2.75 m/s^2$

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by writing the equations of motion along the horizontal and vertical direction.

Along the horizontal direction we have:

$T cos \theta - \mu N = ma$ (1)

where

$T cos \theta$ is the horizontal component of the tension, where

T = 185 N is the tension in the rope

$\theta=25^{\circ}$ is the angle between the rope and the horizontal

$\mu N$ is the force of friction, where

$\mu=0.27$ is the coefficient of friction

N is the normal reaction of the floor on the box

m = 35.0 kg is the mass of the box

a is the acceleration

Along the vertical direction we have:

$N+T sin \theta-mg=0$ (2)

where

N is the normal force (upward direction)

$T sin \theta$ is the vertical component of the tension in the rope (upward direction)

$mg$ is the weight of the box (downward direction), where

m = 35.0 kg is the mass of the box

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration due to gravity

From eq.(2) we get:

$N=mg-T sin \theta$

And substituting into (1), we can find the acceleration:

$T cos \theta - \mu (mg-T sin \theta) = ma\\Tcos \theta -\mu mg + \mu T sin \theta = ma\\a=\frac{T cos \theta- \mu mg + \mu T sin \theta}{m}=\\=\frac{(185)(cos 25^{\circ})-(0.27)(35.0)(9.8)+(0.27)(185)(sin 25^{\circ})}{35.0}=2.75 m/s^2$

What happens when a charged insulator is placed near an uncharged metallic object?

Bad White [126]

So when the charged insulator is placed near the uncharged metallic thing they both attract each other because there will be a distribution of charge between the insulator and uncharged object. This migration of charges happens regardless of their charge positive or negative.
