<span>we know that<span>

a = ω²r 
r = 6380 km----------- > 6.38e6 m 
ω=2π/86400 sec </span></span>
<span>a=(2π/86400) ² (6.38e6 m )------------ > 0.03374
<span>
a = 0.03374 m/sec² </span></span>  

if g------------------- > 9.8 m/sec²  <span> 
X----------------------> 0.03374 m/sec² </span>
X=0.03374 /9.8---------- > 0.00344 <span>
a = 0.00343 g </span>  

the answer is 
a = 0.03374 m/sec²

How are spring and neap tides different from regular tides? Check all that apply.
Svet_ta [14]
<h2>Answer: They are extra-high tides and extra-low tides.</h2>

Explanation:

Tides are periodic movements of the great masses of water on our planet as part of the gravitational attraction exerted by the moon and the sun on Earth.  

In this sense, there are two very special cases:  The Spring and Neap tides.

<u>Spring tides  </u>

Occur when there is a full moon or new moon, which makes the <u>tides higher.</u> During these lunar phases, the Moon, the Earth and the Sun are aligned and the gravitational attraction power is greater.  

<u>Neap tides  </u>

Occur when the moon, the earth and the sun form a right angle (90\º), being the gravity attraction on the masses of water the minimum. This happens in the crescent and wanning phases.

100 POINTS PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!!!!!!
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

According to Google, Nunavut has the lowest population density in Canada. This might occur because it's made up of islands and the area is a tundra so it's very cold and doesn't support agriculture. The islands are also accessible only by plane or boat so it's hard for people to move to the area.
