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.

A 500 lines per mm diffraction grating is illuminated by light of wavelength 580 nm . what is the maximum diffraction order seen

vampirchik [111]

The maximum diffraction order seen is 3.

<h3>What is the maximum diffraction order seen?</h3>

We know that the maximum angle of diffraction Q_m of the furthest bright fringe < Q = 90 degrees.

Here we need to compute the nth bright fringe for which is approximated to 90 degrees.

The angle of nth bright fringe is given by;

sin(Q_m) = n(λ)N

Approximating Q_m ≈ 90 degrees.

sin (90) = nλN

n = sin (90) / (λN)

n = 1 / ((580 x 10⁻⁶)500)

n = 3.5 orders

Since, we knew that Q_m < 90 degrees, we will choose n = 3 as the maximum number of orders.

Thus, the maximum diffraction order seen is 3.

How much is the tension number 2

mestny [16]

This is what I got:

Net force in the Y direction:

ΣFy = T1 - T2

F = ma

ma = T1 - T2

Isolate for T2

ma - T1 = -T2

Multiply by -1

T1 - ma = T2

100 - (3)(2) = T2

100 - 6 = T2

T2 = 94 N

Between 1911 and 1990, the top of the leaning bell tower at Pisa, Italy, moved toward the south at an average rate of 1.2 mm/y.T

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Angular speed, $\omega=6.90\times 10^{-13}\ rad/s$

Explanation:

It is given that,

The top of the leaning bell tower at Pisa, Italy, moved toward the south at an average rate of, v = 1.2 mm/yr

$1\ mm/yr=3.171\times 10^{-11}\ m/s$

Velocity, $v=3.80\times 10^{-11}\ m/s$

Height of the tower, h = 55 m

The height of the tower is equivalent to the radius. Let $\omega$ is the angular speed of the tower’s top about its base. The relation between the angular speed and the angular speed is given by :
