Answer:

b. when the sun, Earth, and the moon are nearly in a line

Explanation:

Due to gravitational pull of sun and moon, the level of water in seas and oceans rises above its normal level. This is known as tides. Highest tides occur when the sun, the moon and the Earth align in a straight line i.e. during New moon and Full moon. This is because in this alignment, there is maximum effect of gravity. Tide occurrence during this phase are also referred as spring tides.

As the amplitude of a mechanical wave increases, which of the following quantities
Lisa [10]

.c ...energy

Explanation:

Amplitude does not affect wavelength. It also does not affect wave speed. Amplitude is the energy of the wave measured from the rest position to the top of the crest. A wave with more energy has a higher up crest/ higher amplitude.

Charge q is accelerated starting from rest up to speed v through the potential difference V. What speed will charge q have after
adoni [48]

Answer: v = 1.19 * 10^{6} m/s

Explanation: q = magnitude of electronic charge = 1.609 * 10^{-19} c

mass of an electronic charge = 9.10 * 10^{-31} kg

V= potential difference = 4V

v = velocity of electron

by using the work- energy theorem which states that the kinetic energy of the the electron must equal the work done use in accelerating the electron.

kinetic energy = \frac{mv^{2} }{2},  potential energy = qV

hence, \frac{mv^{2} }{2} = qV

\frac{9.10 *10^{-31} * v^{2}  }{2} = 1.609 * 10^{-16} * 4\\\\\\\\9.10*10^{-31}  * v^{2} = 2 * 1.609 *10^{-16} * 4\\\\\\9.10 *10^{-31} * v^{2} = 1.287 *10^{-15} \\\\v^{2} = \frac{1.287 *10^{-15} }{9.10 *10^{31} } \\\\v^{2} = 1.414*10^{15} \\\\v = \sqrt{1.414*10^{15} } \\\\v = 1.19 * 10^{6} m/s

How can we produce energy by turning a turbine?​
maw [93]
Wind turbines work on a simple principle: instead of using electricity to make wind—like a fan—wind turbines use wind to make electricity. Wind turns the propeller-like blades of a turbine around a rotor, which spins a generator, which creates electricity.
