Answer:
a) According to Newton's law of gravitation, as the distance between the Moon and the Earth decreases, the gravitational attraction increases and vice versa
The gravitational force of the Moon on the Earth causes the Earth to be slightly bulged on the side directly facing the Moon
The gravitational force also pulls the water bodies on the Earth's surface towards the Moon in the same manner and the effect is more pronounced due to the ability of the liquid water to assume a shape based on the magnitude of the gravitational field attracting it
Therefore, the region where the Moon is closest to the Earth we have a high tide as the water level rises and the region which is perpendicular to where the Moon is located has a low tide
b) The two special types of tides are
1) The neap tide
2) The spring tide
Neap tide
Neap tide occurs when the Sun and Moon are 90° apart from each other when they are viewed by an observer from Earth
The gravitational pull of the Sun cancels (partially) the effect of the gravitational pull and tidal force of the Moon, resulting in minimum tidal range
Spring Tide
Spring tide occurs when the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun are simultaneously inline, such that the Sun reinforces the gravitational pull and tidal force of the Moon, resulting in a maximum tidal range
Explanation:
Given:
Initial speed of the motorcycle (u) = 35 m/s
Final speed of the motorcycle (v) = 0 m/s (Complete Stop)
Maximum deceleration of the motorcycle (a) = -1.2 m/s²
Required Equation:
Answer:
By substituting values in the equation, we get:
Time taken by motorcycle to come to a complete stop (t) = 29.167 s
Surface tension is the direct measure of the cohesive forces between liquid molecules that allows them to form "film", making it more difficult to move an object through the liquid surface. Compared to other known liqiuds, the surface tension of water is much greater.
Answer:
This is an example of Learned preferences.
Explanation:
Alaskan natives are divided into five major groups viz: aleuts, southern eskimos, northern eskimos, interior indians and coastal indians. Although the five groups all have similar ethnic similarities, they occupy different geographical locations in Alaska. The alaska natives have overtime had to adapt to certain conditions largely because of their environment.
In #8, the distance and the (magnitude of displacement) are equal, because he crawled in a straight line.
Displacement = (straight-line distance from start-point to end-point) in the direction from start to end, regardless of what route was actually followed.
Displacement = 5m, in the negative direction.
In #9 . . . distance will be the same. Displacement is going to be the same magnitude, but in the positive direction.
This is so simple that it's hard to talk about.
In #8, "What was the bug's distance ?". "Distance was 5 meters.". "What was the bug's displacement ?", "Displacement was 5 meters backwards."
In #9, What was the bug's distance ?". "Distance was 5 meters.". "What was the bug's displacement ?", "Displacement was 5 meters forward."
