Do tides depend more on the strength of gravitational pull or on the difference in strengths? explain.

1 answer:

8 0

Tides are influenced by the force of gravity exerted by the earth, moon and the sun. The sun has a larger mass than the moon and as such has a greater gravitational pull on the earth. the moon however has greater influence over the tides because they are caused by the difference in gravity fields. This means that the moon is the dominant influence due to the fact that the fractional difference in its force across the earth is greater than that seen from the sun.

If you connected 10 of these 12V (10 W) lamps in parallel, to the 12V source, how much current would the source have to supply

Flauer [41]

Answer:

$T=8.33A$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Number of battery $n=10$

Voltage source $E=12V$

Lamp Power $P=10W$

Generally the equation for Resistance is mathematically given by

$R=\frac{V^2}{P}$

$R=\frac{12^2}{10}$

$R=14.4ohms$

Therefore

$R_{eq}=\frac{14.4}{10}$

$R_{eq}=1.44$

Generally the equation for Current is mathematically given by

$T=\ffrac{V}{Req}$

$T=\frac{12}{1.44}$

$T=8.33A$

A circular test track for cars has a circumference of 3.5 kmkm . A car travels around the track from the southernmost point to t

elixir [45]

Answer:

(A) Distance will be equal to 1.75 km

(B) Displacement will be equal to 1.114 km

Explanation:

We have given circumference of the circular track = 3.5 km

Circumference is given by $2\pi r=3.5$

r = 0.557 km

(a) It is given that car travels from southernmost point to the northernmost point.

For this car have to travel the distance equal to semi perimeter of the circular track

So distance will be equal to $=\frac{3.5}{2}=1.75km$

(b) If car go along the diameter of the circular track then it will also go from southernmost point to the northernmost point. and it will be equal to diameter of the track

So displacement will be equal to d = 2×0.557 = 1.114 m

shepuryov [24]

When a circuit is complete, or closed, electrons can flow from one end of a battery all the way around, through the wires, to the other end of the battery. Along its way, it will carry electrons to electrical objects that are connected to it – like the light bulb – and make them work!
