Tides are lowest when:

Tides are lowest when the earth, sun and moon come’s in a right angle. It occurs when the greatest pint in the wave or can called the crest arrives at the coast, the coast can feel the high tide, but when the smallest point i.e. trough arrives at the coast feels the low tide. The tidal force present makes the earth also the water to swell out of side which is often nearer to moon and the side farthest to that of moon, when no swelling can be seen low tides occurs.

A team of dogs accelerates a 290kg dogsled from 0 to 6.0m/s in 3.0 s. Assume that the acceleration is constant.Part AWhat is the

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

(a) $a=2m/sec^2$

(b) 5220 j

(d) 3446.66 watt

Explanation:

We have given mass m = 290 kg

Initial velocity u = 0 m/sec

Final velocity v = 6 m/sec

Time t = 3 sec

From first equation of motion

v = u+at

So $a=\frac{v-u}{t}=\frac{6-0}{3}=2m/sec^2$

(a) We know that force is given by

F = ma

So force will be $F=290\times 2=580N$

(b) From second equation of motion we know that

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2=0\times 3+\frac{1}{2}\times 2\times 3^2=9m$

We know that work done is given by

W = F s = 580×9 =5220 j

We know that power is given as

$P=\frac{W}{t}=\frac{5220}{3}=1740Watt$

(d) Time t = 1.5 sec

So $P=\frac{W}{t}=\frac{5220}{1.5}=3466.66Watt$

C. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. So at the top of the path, while the velocity is zero, the CONSTANT GRAVITATIONAL ACCELERATION is about 10 m/s^2 (9.8)

Suppose that you hear a clap of thunder 16 s after seeing the associated lightning strike. How far are you from the lightning st

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

$d=5.376km$

Explanation:

Since light is so fast we can assume no time passes between the lightning strikes and we observe it. We want to know then how far away did the strike occur for the sound to take 16s to reach our ears. Since the definition of velocity tells us that $v=d/t$ , we can write $d=vt=(336m/s)(16s)=5376m=5.376km$
