Answer:

William Ferrel created a tide-prediction machine.

Explanation:

William Ferrel create a machine in late 19th century that was the best combination of mechanical parts and computer coding.
It was a mechanical analog computer that could predict the ebb of tides and even the height of tides that could be irregular.
It was widely used for marine networks and navigation. Later on many improvisations and additional features were added on it.
During the world war times, this tide prediction machine was of great use for military purpose.

Increasing the number of bulbs in a series circuit decreases the brightness of the bulbs. In a series circuit, the voltage is equally distributed among all of the bulbs. Bulbs in parallel are brighter than bulbs in series. In a parallel circuit the voltage for each bulb is the same as the voltage in the circuit.

Two objects are moving at equal speed along a level, frictionless surface. the second object has twice the mass of the first obj

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

They both rises to same height.

Explanation:

When an object is sliding up in friction less surface than according to conservation of energy its potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy.

$mgH=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}\\ v=\sqrt{2gH}$

Here, m is the mass, v is the velocity, g is the acceleration due to gravity and H is the height.

Here the height is independent on the mass of an object and its only depend on velocity.

Now according to the question, two objects have same velocity but they have different masses.

Therefore, they rises to the same height because height will not change with mass.

What holds the moon in place, orbiting around the Earth

AnnZ [28]

The Earth's gravity keeps the Moon orbiting us. It keeps changing the direction of the Moon's velocity. This means gravity makes the Moon accelerate all the time, even though its speed remains constant.
