The gravitational attraction to the moon causes the Earth's oceans to bulge out in the direction of the moon. Another bulge occurs on the opposite side, since the Earth itself is pulled towards the moon (and away from the water on the far side). Since the Earth rotates, this happens twice a day. These are tides.

As for the importance of monitoring tides, one reason is that commercial and recreational fishermen use their knowledge of the tides and tidal currents to help them improve their catches. Monitoring the tides is a very important part of their livelihood.

What is the equivalent resistance of the circuit?

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

80Ω

Explanation:

Resistance in a series circuit (when one resistor is after another in the same line) is calculated with the following equation

Total resistance = R1 + R2 + R3...Rn

Substitute in your values and solve for total resistance

Total resistance = 60 + 20 = 80Ω

If it takes a ball dropped from rest 2.261 s to fall to the ground, from what height H was it released? Express your answer in m

algol [13]

Answer:

Height, H = 25.04 meters

Explanation:

Initially the ball is at rest, u = 0

Time taken to fall to the ground, t = 2.261 s

Let H is the height from which the ball is released. It can be calculated using the second equation of motion as :

$H=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

Here, a = g

$H=\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

$H=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times (2.261)^2$

H = 25.04 meters

So, the ball is released form a height of 25.04 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

NASA’s Apollo Mission was the ONLY mission which landed humans on the moon, which it did six times. I’m not very sure about several times, though. Hope this helped!
