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 had to explain to a non-scientist why it is that scientists accept the idea that all material things are composed of atom
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

There are many things that convinced scientists of the existence of atoms,  and it has been accepted for at least 100 years now, examples are the macroscopic behaviour of gases, the light emitted by hydrogen lamps, and more recently it has become possible to see individual atoms with the best microscopes!

Explanation:

There are many reasons why people thought that our material world was composed of atoms. One of the most striking reasons why scientists came to believe in atomic theory was how it could explain phenomena like the behaviour of gases, by assuming that gases were composed of a great number of individual particles moving randomly, scientists like Maxwell and Boltzmann developed a theory that could explain the macroscopic behaviour of gases, this theory is called the Kinetic Theory of Gases.

More convincing maybe is how Quantum mechanics can predict phenomena like the atomic emission spectrum of Hydrogen and many molecules and atoms. That the spectra of different elements can be explained by assuming they are made of atoms and using quantum mechanics to predict the frequency at which these atoms will emit or absorb light is a very convincing argument! The Spectrum of hydrogen can be seen with an hydrogen lamp and a prism to separate the different wavelengths.

Moreover, modern electron microscopes can indeed detect single atoms! That means that one can quite literally see single atoms.

Most of the technological development of humanity for the last century wouldn't have been possible without atomic theory, as it underpin our understanding of the physical world.

The working substance of a certain Carnot engine is 1.90 of an ideal
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Explanation:

The energy for an isothermal expansion can be computed as:

\mathsf{Q_H =nRTIn (\dfrac{V_b}{V_a})} --- (1)

However, we are being told that the volume of the gas is twice itself when undergoing adiabatic expansion. This implies that:

V_b = 2V_a

Equation (1) can be written as:

\mathtt{Q_H = nRT_H In (2)}

Also, in a Carnot engine, the efficiency can be computed as:

\mathtt{e = 1 - \dfrac{T_L}{T_H}}

e = \dfrac{T_H-T_L}{T_H}

In addition to that, for any heat engine, the efficiency e =\dfrac{W}{Q_H}

relating the above two equations together, we have:

\dfrac{T_H-T_L}{T_H} = \dfrac{W}{Q_H}

Making the work done (W) the subject:

W = Q_H \Big(\dfrac{T_H-T_L}{T_H} \Big)

From equation (1):

\mathsf{W = nRT_HIn(2)  \Big(\dfrac{T_H-T_L}{T_H} \Big)}

\mathsf{W = nRIn(2)  \Big(T_H-T_L} \Big)}

If we consider the adiabatic expansion as well:

PV^y = constant

i.e.

P_bV_b^y = P_cV_c^y

From ideal gas PV = nRT

we can have:

\dfrac{nRT_H}{V_b}(V_b^y)=  \dfrac{nRT_L}{V_c}(V_c^y)

T_H =  T_L \Big(\dfrac{V_c}{V_b}\Big)^{y-1}

From the question, let us recall  aw we are being informed that:

If the volumes changes by a factor = 5.7

Then, it implies that:

\Big(\dfrac{V_c}{V_b}\Big) = 5.7

∴

T_H =  T_L (5.7)^{y-1}

In an ideal monoatomic gas \gamma = 1.6

As such:

T_H =  T_L (5.7)^{1.6-1}

T_H =  T_L (5.7)^{0.67}

Replacing the value of T_H =  T_L (5.7)^{0.67} into equation \mathsf{W = nRIn(2)  \Big(T_H-T_L} \Big)}

\mathsf{W =  nRT_L In(2) (5.7 ^{0.67 }-1}})

From in the question:

W = 930 J and the moles = 1.90

using 8.314 as constant

Then:

\mathsf{930 =  (1.90)(8.314)T_L In(2) (5.7 ^{0.67 }-1}})

\mathsf{930 = 15.7966\times 1.5315 (T_L )})

\mathsf{T_L= \dfrac{930 }{15.7966\times 1.5315}}

\mathbf{T_L \simeq = 39 \ K}

From T_H =  T_L (5.7)^{0.67}

\mathsf{T_H =  39 (5.7)^{0.67}}

\mathbf{T_H \simeq  125K}
