Tides are incredibly vital. They are controlled by the gravity of the moon pivoting the earth on a 28 day cycle, pulling the water round the world. 
On the off chance that you are a mariner you require tide tables for two vital reasons. The first is that the water may not be sufficiently profound to get in and out of harbor or, say, over a sand bank, until specific times of day. 
Another reason is that to spare time and power we need to cruise with the active tide on the off chance that it is going our path - to cruise against the tide can mean really going in reverse - I have seen vast cruising vessels beating to windward against the tide on the western ways to deal with the Solent going actually in reverse, (however they had forward speed through the water). Terrible arranging! 
Since it is a 28 day cycle and there are 13 heaps of 28 days in a year the tides shift day by day with respect to when it is high tide and low tide, More than that we have neap tides when the highs and lows are less and spring tides when they are most prominent. These rely on upon the periods of the moon. 
On the environment front they wash into and through ocean growth circulating air through the plants and ocean life and mix up silt to clean the base of the shoreline and channels and estuaries and invigorate pools that stay on the shoreline for other plant and creature life. This is one justifiable reason motivation behind why tidal hindrances will be a calamity for beach front life since this will be lost to power era. A similar thing applies to wave control and, ashore, wind control - there will be a substantial environmental cost to any maintained or pragmatic utilization of vitality that is in truth not "renewable" - we will upset a fragile adjust of nature that will do much more harm than carbon ever could (on the off chance that it was doing any harm now, which I question) 
Tides are not such a great amount of checked as anticipated but rather perilous high tides can happen at the most elevated spring tide, with the twist inland and low gaseous tension - everything pushes the water advance up the shoreline and cause harm and flooding.

Suppose a distant world with surface gravity of 5.20 m/s2 has an atmospheric pressure of 7.16 ✕ 104 Pa at the surface. (a) What
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

899752.13598 N

Explanation:

p = Pressure on the plate = 7.16\times 10^4\ Pa

A = Area = \pi r^2=\pi 2^2=\pi 4

F = Force on the region

When force is divided by area we get pressure

p=\frac{F}{A}\\\Rightarrow F=p\times A\\\Rightarrow F=7.16\times 10^4\times \pi 4\\\Rightarrow F=899752.13598\ N

Force is exerted by the atmosphere on a disk-shaped region is 899752.13598 N

Which of the following is the reason that a fixed pulley makes work easier?
kherson [118]

<u>Answer</u>

  • A fixed pulley is one of many simple machines that can make work easier. In the fixed pulley system, we pull down on one side of the rope and the other side goes up. Here the pulley can change the direction of force on a rope or belt that moves along its circumference.
  • we use the same amount of force to pull down as we lift the toy ourselves.

A 26 kg body is moving through space in the positive direction of an x axis with a speed of 350 m/s when, due to an internal exp
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

a.) 1567.2 m/s

b.) 149.4 m/s

Explanation:

Given that a 26 kg body is moving through space in the positive direction of an x axis with a speed of 350 m/s when, due to an internal explosion, it breaks into three parts. One part, with a mass of 7.8 kg, moves away from the point of explosion with a speed of 180 m/s in the positive y direction. A second part, with a mass of 8.8 kg, moves in the negative x direction with a speed of 640 m/s.

The x-component of the third part can be calculated by assuming that it moves in a positive x axis.

The third mass = 26 - ( 7.8 + 8.8)

The third mass = 26 - 16.6

The third mass = 9.4kg

since momentum is conserved, the momentum before explosion will be equal to sum of the momentum after explosion

26 x 350 = -8.8 x 640 + 9.4V

9100 = -5632 + 9.4V

9.4V = 9100 + 5632

9.4V = 14732

V = 14732/9.4

V = 1567.2 m/s

(b) y-component of the velocity of the third part will be

7.8 x 180 = 9.4 V

1404 = 9.4V

V = 1404/9.4

V = 149.4 m/s
