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.
1) Earth is subject not only to the gravitational force of the Moon but also to the gravitational pull of the Sun. However, Earth is much farther away from the Sun than it is from the Moon. In fact, the center of Earth is at an average distance of 1.5×1011m from the center of the Sun. Given that the mass of the Sun is 1.99×1030kg, which of the following statements is correct?

A) The force exerted on Earth by the Sun is weaker than the corresponding force exerted by the Moon.
B) The force exerted on Earth by the Sun is stronger than the corresponding force exerted by the Moon.
C) The force exerted on Earth by the Sun is of the same order of magnitude of the corresponding force exerted by the Moon.

Answer:

B) True.

Explanation:

In this exercise to answer the statements we must calculate the force on the earth by the two bodies.

In both cases, the law of universal gravitation describes the process.

    F = G m₁ m₂ / r²

Let's calculate each force

- bodies Moon - Earth

Let's call m₁ the mass of the earth (m₁ = me), m₂ the mass of the moon (m₂ = m), the distance from the earth to the moon is r₁ = 3.84 10⁸m and the radius of the earth is re. The force on the tide that is a body on the surface of the Earth have a distance

      R₁ = r₁ -re

      R₁ = 3.84 10⁸ - 6.37 10⁶

      R₁ = 3.77 10⁸ m

Let's calculate

    F₁ = G me m / R₁²

    F₁ = (G me) 7.36 10²² / (3.77 10⁸)²

    F₁ = (G me) 5.2 10⁵

- bodies Earth -Sun

Let's call the mass of the sun M (m2 = M) the distance from the sun to the earth is 1.5 10¹¹ m, so the distance to the surface of the earth

    R₂ = r₂ - re

    R₂ = 1.5 10¹¹ - 6.37 10⁶

    R₂ = 1.5 10¹¹ m

The radius of the earth is too small compared to the earth-sun distance

Let's calculate

    F₂ = G me M / R₂²

    F₂ = (G me) 1.99 10³⁰ / (1.5 10¹¹)²

    F₂ = (G me) 8.8 10⁷

Let's see the statements:

A) False. It´s oppsote

B) True. In the previous part it has a differentiated 10² orders of magnitude

C) False. We saw that they are very different

Answer:

B. The force exerted on Earth by the Sun is stronger than the corresponding force exerted by the Moon.

Explanation:

The gravitational force between two planets is given by the following formula:

F = G \cdot \frac{m\cdot M}{r^{2}}

Where:

G - Gravitational constant.

m, M - Masses of planets.

r - Distance between planets.

The following is the description of the forces exerted on Earth as both as by the Sun and by the Moon:

Earth - Moon

F = \left(6.674\times 10^{-11}\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg\cdot s^{2}} \right)\cdot \left[\frac{(5.972\times 10^{24}\,kg)\cdot (7.348\times 10^{22}\,kg)}{(384000000\,m)^{2}} \right]

F = 1.986\times 10^{20}\,N

Earth - Sun

F = \left(6.674\times 10^{-11}\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg\cdot s^{2}} \right)\cdot \left[\frac{(5.972\times 10^{24}\,kg)\cdot (1.99\times 10^{30}\,kg)}{(1.5\times 10^{11}\,m)^{2}} \right]

F = 3.525\times 10^{22}\,N

The force exerted on Earth by the Sun is greater than the force by the Moon. Hence, the answer is B.

The y component of the electric field of an electromagnetic wave traveling in the +x direction through vacuum obeys the equation
Alexxx [7]

Answer: 8.6 µm

Explanation:

At a long distance from the source, the components (the electric and magnetic fields) of the electromagnetic waves, behave like plane waves, so the equation for the y component of the electric field obeys an equation like this one:

Ey =Emax cos (kx-ωt)

So, we can write the following equality:

ω= 2.2 1014 rad/sec

The angular frequency and the linear frequency are related as follows:

f = ω/ 2π= 2.2 1014 / 2π (rad/sec) / rad = 0.35 1014 1/sec

In an electromagnetic wave propagating through vacuum, the speed of the wave is just the speed of light, c.

The wavelength, speed and frequency, are related by this equation:

λ = c/f

λ = 3.108 m/s / 0.35. 1014 1/s = 8.6 µm.

What do nuclear plants use instead of fossil fuels?<br> i need help please
Leona [35]

Answer:

Nuclear energy is cleaner while generating electricity. Nuclear fission provides energy without releasing greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. However, nuclear power plants generate radioactive waste, a critical factor when doing a fossil fuel to nuclear power pollution comparison.

Calculate the density of a 50 ml solution that is 5% water and 95% ethanol. show your calculation.
vichka [17]

The density of the solution from the given compositions of water and ethanol is 799.55 kg/m³.

The given parameters;

  • Volume of the solution, v = 50 ml
  • Composition of water, 5%
  • Composition of ethanol, 95%
  • Density of water, = 1000 kg/m³
  • Density of ethanol, = 789 kg/m³

The density of the solution from the given compositions of water and ethanol is obtained by finding the respective amount of water and ethanol composition is the solution.

The density of the solution is calculated as follows;

\rho = \frac{5(1000 \ kg/m^3) + 95(789 \ kg/m^3)}{100} \\\\\rho = 799.55 \ kg/m^3

Thus, the density of the solution from the given compositions of water and ethanol is 799.55 kg/m³.
