Answer:

Tidal heating

Explanation:

Tidal force is the ability of a massive body to produce tides on another body. The tidal force depends on the mass of the body that produces the tides and the distance between the two bodies.

Tidal forces can cause the destruction of a satellite that orbits a planet or a comet that is too close to the Sun or a planet. When the orbiting body crosses the "Roche boundary", the tidal forces along the body are more intense than the cohesion forces that hold the body together.

Tidal friction is the force between the Earth's oceans and ocean floors caused by the gravitational attraction of the Moon. The Earth tries to transport the waters of the oceans with it, while the Moon tries to keep them under it and on the opposite side of the Earth. In the long term, tidal friction causes the Earth's rotation speed to decrease, thus shortening the day. In turn, the Moon increases its angular momentum and gradually spirals away from Earth. Finally, when the day equals the orbital period of the Moon (which will be about 40 times the length of the current day), the process will cease. Subsequently, a new process will begin when the power to raise tides from the Sun takes angular momentum from the Earth-Moon system. The Moon will then spiral towards Earth until it is destroyed when it enters the "Roche boundary."

<u>Tidal heating </u>

It is the warming caused by the tidal action on a planet or satellite. The most important example of tidal heating in the Solar System is the effect of Jupiter on its Io satellite, in which the tidal effects produce such high temperatures that the interior of the satellite melts, producing volcanism.

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

C. 14.93 m

Explanation:

The given frequency of the wave, f = 100 Hz

The given equation for the wave speed, <em>v</em>, is presented as follows;

v = f × λ

The speed of sound in water, v = 1,493 m/s

Therefore, we get;

The wavelength, λ = v/f

∴ λ = 1,493 m/s/(100 Hz) = 14.93 m

The wavelength, λ = 14.93 m.

The equation of a transverse wave traveling along a very long string is y 6.0 sin(0.020px 4.0pt), where x and y are expressed in
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

given

y=6.0sin(0.020px + 4.0pt)

the general wave equation moving in the positive directionis

y(x,t) = ymsin(kx -?t)

a) the amplitude is

ym = 6.0cm

b)

we have the angular wave number as

k = 2p /?

or

? = 2p / 0.020p

=1.0*102cm

c)

the frequency is

f = ?/2p

= 4p/2p

= 2.0 Hz

d)

the wave speed is

v = f?

= (100cm)(2.0Hz)

= 2.0*102cm/s

e)

since the trignometric function is (kx -?t) , sothe wave propagates in th -x direction

f)

the maximum transverse speed is

umax =2pfym

= 2p(2.0Hz)(6.0cm)

= 75cm/s

g)

we have

y(3.5cm ,0.26s) = 6.0cmsin[0.020p(3.5) +4.0p(0.26)]

= -2.0cm

polet [3.4K]

Answer: The horizontal location of the plane will BE OVER THE BOMB

Explanation:

As soon as the bomb was dropped, the bomb will fall under gravity (free fall) and the location of the plane continues to increase horizontally till the bomb reaches the ground which is a falling distance to be travelled by the bomb at 9.8m/s²

A charge of 31.0 μC is to be split into two parts that are then separated by 24.0 mm, what is the maximum possible magnitude of
miskamm [114]

Answer:

1.72 x 10³ N.

Explanation:

When a charge is split equally and placed at a certain distance , maximum electrostatic force is possible.

So the charges will be each equal to

31/2 = 15.5 x 10⁻⁶ C

F = K Q q / r²

= \frac{9\times10^9\times(10.5)^2\times10^{-12}}{(24\times10^{-3})^2}

= 1.72 x 10³ N.
