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.

Coherent light of wavelength 525 nm passes through two thin slits that are 4.15Ã—10^(âˆ’2) mm apart and then falls on a screen 7

IRINA_888 [86]

A) 4.7 cm

The formula for the angular spread of the nth-maximum from the central bright fringe for a diffraction from two slits is

$sin \theta=\frac{n \lambda}{d}$

where

n is the order of the maximum

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

$a$ is the distance between the slits

In this problem,

n = 5

$\lambda=525 nm =5.25\cdot 10^{-7} m$

$a=4.15\cdot 10^{-2} mm=4.15\cdot 10^{-5} m$

So we find

$\theta=sin^{-1} (\frac{(5)(5.25\cdot 10^{-7} m)}{4.15\cdot 10^{-5} m})=3.62^{\circ}$

And given the distance of the screen from the slits,

$D=75.0 cm = 0.75 m$

The distance of the 5th bright fringe from the central bright fringe will be given by

$y=D tan \theta = (0.75 m)tan 3.62^{\circ}=0.047 m = 4.7 cm$

B) 8.1 cm

The formula to find the nth-minimum (dark fringe) in a diffraction pattern from double slit is a bit differente from the previous one:

$sin \theta=\frac{(n+\frac{1}{2}) \lambda}{d}$

To find the angle corresponding to the 8th dark fringe, we substitute n=8:

$\theta=sin^{-1} (\frac{(8+\frac{1}{2})(5.25\cdot 10^{-7} m)}{4.15\cdot 10^{-5} m})=6.17^{\circ}$

And the distance of the 8th dark fringe from the central bright fringe will be given by

$y=D tan \theta = (0.75 m)tan 6.17^{\circ}=0.081 m = 8.1 cm$

022 (part 1 of 4) 10.0 points A ball is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 24.5 m/s. How high does it rise? The accelerati

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

Part 1)

H = 30.6 m

Part 2)

t = 2.5 s

Part 3)

t = 2.5 s

Part 4)

$v_f = 24.5 m/s$

Explanation:

Part 1)

initial speed of the ball upwards

$v_i = 24.5 m/s$

so maximum height of the ball is given by

$H = \frac{v_i^2}{2g}$

$H = \frac{24.5^2}{2(9.80)}$

$H = 30.6 m$

Part 2)

As we know that final speed will be zero at maximum height

so we will have

$v_f - v_i = at$

$0 - 24.5 = (-9.8)t$

$t = 2.5 s$

Part 3)

Since the time of ascent of ball is same as time of decent of the ball

so here ball will same time to hit the ground back

so here it is given as

t = 2.5 s

Part 4)

since the acceleration due to earth will be same during its return path as well as the time of the motion is also same

so here its final speed will be same as that of initial speed

so we have

$v_f = 24.5 m/s$

Answer:

a = 9.76 m/s/s

Explanation:

As we know that the object is released from rest

so the displacement of the object in vertical direction is given as

$y = \frac{1}{2}at^2$

$4.88 = \frac{1}{2}a(1^2)$

$a = 9.76 m/s^2$

Answer:

v = 29.7 m/s

Explanation:

acceleration of the rocket is given as

$a = 90 m/s^2$

time taken by the rocket

t = 0.33 min

final speed of the rocket is given as

$v_f = v_i + at$

$v_f = 0 + (90)(0.33)$

$v_f = 29.7 m/s$

Answer:

Part 1)

y = 25.95 m

Part 2)

d = 6.72 m

Explanation:

Part 1)

As it took t = 2.3 s to hit the water surface

so here we will have

$y = \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$y = \frac{1}{2}(9.81)(2.3^2)$

$y = 25.95 m$

Part 2)

Distance traveled by it in horizontal direction is given as

$d = v_x t$

$d = 2.92 \times 2.3$

$d = 6.72 m$

Answer:

The Three Mountain Task was developed by Jean Piaget and Bärbel Inhelder in the 1940s to study children's ability to coordinate spatial perspectives. In the task, a child faced a display of three model mountains while a researcher placed a doll at different viewpoints of the display.

What is the relationship between dominant and recessive genes

Triss [41]

Dominant genes and recessive genes are both given to a parents offspring. However, not both can be expressed causing the difference of dominant and recessive. Dominant genes are more likely to be expressed and recessive genes are more likely to be repressed.
