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.

A steel sphere sits on top of an aluminum ring. The steel sphere (a= 1.1 x 10^-5/degrees celsius) has a diameter of 4.000 cm at
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

To solve this question, we will need to develop an expression that relates the diameter 'd', at temperature T equals the original diameter d₀ (at 0 degrees) plus the change in diameter from the temperature increase ( ΔT = T):

d = d₀ + d₀αT

for the sphere, we were given

D₀ = 4.000 cm

α = 1.1 x 10⁻⁵/degrees celsius

we have D = 4 + (4x(1.1 x 10⁻⁵)T = 4 + (4.4x10⁻⁵)T             EQN 1

Similarly for the Aluminium ring we have

we were given

d₀ = 3.994 cm

α = 2.4 x 10⁻⁵/degrees celsius

we have d = 3.994 + (3.994x(2.4 x 10⁻⁵)T = 3.994 + (9.58x10⁻⁵)T       EQN 2

Since @ the temperature T at which the sphere fall through the ring, d=D

Eqn 1 = Eqn 2

4 + (4.4x10⁻⁵)T =3.994 + (9.58x10⁻⁵)T, collect like terms

0.006=5.18x10⁻⁵T

T=115.7K

raketka [301]

Answer :

The magnet produces a domain alignment that allows the iron become magnetic such that it is attracted to the original magnet.the magnetic iron can then create the same effect on another piece of iron.

Explanation:

the piece of magnet is brought closer to the iron where the domains of the iron align including the magnetic poles.
