It is position when Moon is between Earth and Sun. In this case gravitational forces of both Moon and Sun pull water in same direction and magnitude of gravitational force is greatest. When Moon and Sun are on opposite sides of Earth gravitational force pulls water in two opposite directions and magnitude of gravitational force is smallest and tide is lower. When Moon is in position that is shown as above or below Earth than magnitude of gravitational force is between those two already mentioned.

Sidana [21]

Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. Below is the answer:

m = 80 kg
R = 6.4 x 10^6 m
Earth completes one rotation in 24 hours
Thus, T = 24 x 3600 s
Centripetral acceleration is given by
ac = w^2R
ac = (2 pie/T)^2R
ac = (2 pie/T)^2R = 4 pie^2/(24 x 3600)^2 x 6.4 x 10^6
ac = 0.034 m/s^2

Discuss velocity by providing at least one example and explain why velocity is either a scalar or vector quantity.

grandymaker [24]

Velocity is speed plus direction, so an example of velocity would be a vehicle traveling at 75mph north. Velocity is a vector quantity because it describes both magnitude and direction.

A spring gun is made by compressing a spring in a tube and then latching the spring at the compressed position. A 4.97-g pellet

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

$v = 2.8898 \frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

This is a problem easily solve using energy conservation. As there are no non-conservative forces, we know that the energy is conserved.

When the spring is compressed downward, the spring has elastic potential energy. When the spring is relaxed, there is no elastic potential energy, but the pellet will have gained gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy. Lets see what are the terms for each of this.

<h3>Elastic potential energy</h3>

We know that a spring following Hooke's Law has a elastic potential energy:

$E_{ep} = \frac{1}{2} k (\Delta x)^2$

where $\Delta x$ is the displacement from the relaxed length and k is the spring's constant.

To obtain the spring's constant, we know that Hooke's law states that the force made by the spring is :

$\vec{F} = - k \Delta \vec{x}$

as we need 9.12 N to compress 4.60 cm, this means:

$k = \frac{9.12 \ N}{4.6 \ 10^{-2} \ m}$

$k = 198.26 \ \frac{ N}{m}$

So, the elastic energy of the compressed spring is:

$E_{ep} = \frac{1}{2} 198.26 \ \frac{ N}{m} (4.6 \ 10^{-2} \ m)^2$

$E_{ep} = 0.209759 \ Joules$

And when the spring is relaxed, the elastic potential energy will be zero.

<h3>Gravitational potential energy</h3>

To see how much gravitational potential energy will the pellet win, we can use

$\Delta E_{gp} = m g \Delta h$

where m is the mass of the pellet, g is the acceleration due to gravity and \Delta h is the difference in height.

Taking all this together, the gravitational potential energy when the spring is relaxed will be:

$\Delta E_{gp} = 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg \ 9.8 \frac{m}{s^2} 4.6 \ 10^{-2} m$

$\Delta E_{gp} = 0.00224 \ Joules$

<h3>Kinetic Energy</h3>

We know that the kinetic energy for a mass m moving at speed v is:

$E_k = \frac{1}{2} m v^2$

so, for the pellet will be

$E_k = \frac{1}{2} \ 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg \ v^2$

<h3>All together</h3>

By conservation of energy, we know:

$E_{ep} = \Delta E_{gp} + E_k$

$0.209759 \ Joules = 0.00224 \ Joules + \frac{1}{2} \ 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg \ v^2$

$\frac{1}{2} \ 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg \ v^2 = 0.209759 \ Joules - 0.00224 \ Joules$

$\frac{1}{2} \ 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg \ v^2 = 0.207519 \ Joules$

$v = \sqrt{ \frac{ 0.207519 \ Joules}{ \frac{1}{2} \ 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg } }$

$v = 2.8898 \frac{m}{s}$

if an average cloud has a density of 0.5 g/m3 and has a volume of 1,000,000,000 m3,what is the weight of an average cloud

sveta [45]

If you have (1 x 10⁹) cubic meters of volume, and 1/2 gram of mass
in each cubic meter, then you have

(1/2 x 10⁹) grams = (5 x 10⁸) grams = (5 x 10⁵) kilograms of mass .

On Earth, that mass weighs 4,900,000 newtons .

(about 1,102,300 pounds)

(about 551 tons)
