Tidal forces are gravitational forces exerted on different parts of a body by a second body. Their effects are particularly visi

ble on the earth's surface in the form of tides. To understand the origin of tidal forces, consider the earth-moon system to consist of two spherical bodies, each with a spherical mass distribution. Let re be the radius of the earth, m be the mass of the moon, and G be the gravitational constant.
(a) Let r denote the distance between the center of the earth and the center of the moon. What is the magnitude of the acceleration ae of the earth due to the gravitational pull of the moon? Express your answer in terms of G, m, and r.
(b) Since the gravitational force between two bodies decreases with distance, the acceleration a_near experienced by a unit mass located at the point on the earth's surface closest to the moon is slightly different from the acceleration a_far experienced by a unit mass located at the point on the earth's surface farthest from the moon. Give a general expression for the quantity a_near - a_far. Express your answer in terms of G, m, r, and re.

Answer:

Explanation:

radius of earth = re

mass of the noon = m

mass of the earth = E

distance between earth and moon = r

acceleration of earth ae

force on earth = GMm / r²

acceleration of the earth

ae = force / mass

= GMm / (r² x M )

= Gm / r²

b ) The point on the earth nearest to moon will be at a distance of r - re

a_near = Gm / ( r - re)²

The point farthest on the earth  to moon will be at a distance of r + re

a_ far = Gm / ( r + re )²

There are two tuning forks struck at the same time. One tuning fork is tuned to a frequency note of 500 Hz. The other is tuned t
fomenos

Answer: 26 beats in 2 seconds

Explanation:

The number of beats per second = frequency of tuning fork 1 - frequency of tuning fork 2.

Given :

- frequency of tuning fork 1 = 500Hz

- frequency of tuning fork 2 = 487Hz

Thus,

Beats per second = 500 - 487

= 13 beats per second

Therefore in two(2) seconds, you will have 2 x 13 = 26 seconds.

A box, compressing a spring by 4 m, is loaded and ready. Moments later the 8.0 kg box has been launched with
Mrac [35]

Answer:

50 N/m

Explanation:

Elastic energy = kinetic energy

EE = KE

½ kx² = ½ mv²

½ k (4 m)² = ½ (8.0 kg) (10.0 m/s)²

k = 50 N/m

Komok [63]

Answer:

Tissues that are damaged or injured.

Explanation:

Dystrophic calcification involves the deposition of calcium in soft tissues despite no disturbance in the calcium metabolism, and this is often seen at damaged tissues.

Examples of areas in the body where dystrophic calcification can occur include atherosclerotic plaques and damaged heart valves.
