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.

5. A hollow cylinder of mass m, radius Rc, and moment of inertia I = mRc2 is pushed against a spring (with spring constant k) co
Makovka662 [10]

Explanation:

(a) Draw a free body diagram of the cylinder at the top of the loop.  At the minimum speed, the normal force is 0, so the only force is weight pulling down.

Sum of forces in the centripetal direction:

∑F = ma

mg = mv²/RL

v = √(g RL)

(b) Energy is conserved.

EE = KE + RE + PE

½ kd² = ½ mv² + ½ Iω² + mgh

kd² = mv² + Iω² + 2mgh

kd² = mv² + (m RC²) ω² + 2mg (2 RL)

kd² = mv² + m RC²ω² + 4mg RL

kd² = mv² + mv² + 4mg RL

kd² = 2mv² + 4mg RL

kd² = 2m (v² + 2g RL)

d² = 2m (v² + 2g RL) / k

d = √[2m (v² + 2g RL) / k]

A thin, rectangular sheet of metal has mass M and sides of length a and b. Find the moment of inertia of this sheet about an axi
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

The moment of inertia is I=\frac{M}{12} a^{2}

Explanation:

The moment of inertia is equal:

I=\int\limits^a_b {r^{2} } \, dm

If r is -\frac{a}{2}

and dm=\frac{M}{a} dr

I=\int\limits^a_b {r^{2}\frac{M}{a}  } \, dr\\a=\frac{a}{2} \\b=-\frac{a}{2}

I=\frac{M}{a} \int\limits^a_b {r^{2}  } \, dr\\\\I=\frac{M}{a} (\frac{M}{3} )_{b}^{a}\\  I=\frac{M}{3a} (\frac{a^{3} }{8} +\frac{a^{3} }{8} )\\I=\frac{M}{12} a^{2}

The noise floor, also known as additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN), is a continuous noise level that appears over a wide spectr
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

correct option is a. True

Explanation:

solution

the noise floor is AWGN ( additive white Gaussian noise )  

and when viewed in the frequency domain, it is the continuous noise level  

because as they have a  uniform power over all the frequency.

 

so that it is additive white Gaussian noise  

as we can say given statement is True  

correct option a true
