If tides occur twice a day in most places. How much time is there between a morning high tide and the next high tide?

About 12 hours is the time between a morning high tide and the next high tide

Explanation:

The Earth’s rotation happens between two tidal bulges  

The “periodic rise and fall” of the surface water levels of the ocean is called tides. The gravitational action and interaction on the earth by the sun and the moon causes these tides. Different regions of the World experiences different patterns of tides like the diurnal, semi-diurnal etc.

When there is one high and one low tide occurring on a lunar day, then it is diurnal pattern. Semi-diurnal pattern occurs when there are two equal high and low tides on a single lunar day.

Since the Earth’s rotation happens between two tidal “bulges” on each lunar day, the coastal areas can experience two high and two low tides in every 24 hours plus 50 minutes.

Accordingly the time between two high tides would be 12 hours plus 25 minutes. Similarly, the time gap between a high to low tide would be 6 hours plus 12.5 minutes.

if spiderman runs and jumps horizontally from the top of a 200m high building, what does he need his velocity to be to land on a
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

v = 2.22 m/s

Explanation:

First we apply the second equation of motion to the vertical motion of the body:

s = Vi t + (1/2)gt²

where,

s = y = vertical distance covered = 200 m - 100 m = 100 m

Vi = V₀y = Vertical Component of Initial Velocity = 0 m/s  (because spider man jumps horizontally, thus his velocity has no vertical component initially)

t = Time Taken to Land on 100 m high building = ?

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

100 m = (0 m/s)t + (0.5)(9.8 m/s²)t²

t² = (100 m)/(4.9 m/s²)

t = √(20.4 s²)

t = 4.5 s

Now, we analyze the horizontal motion. Neglecting air friction, the horizontal motion is uniform with uniform velocity. Therefore,

s = vt

where,

s = x = horizontal distance covered = 10 m

v = V₀ₓ = Horizontal Component of Initial Velocity = Initial Velocity = ?

Therefore,

10 m = v(4.5 s)

v = 10 m/4.5 s

<u>v = 2.22 m/s</u>

What physical property of light changes and causes the light to refract, or bend?
Tcecarenko [31]
I think it would be by the change in speed
For example if light travels from air to water it will slow down causing it to travel at a different angle/direction

You stare at a bright red screen for so long that your red cones become saturated and no longer function. The red screen is then
adell [148]

Answer: you'll see cyan color on the screen

Explanation:

Saturating the red cone causes them to stop functioning, hence you can't perceive the red part of white light. White light is made up of three main colors which are blue, red and green. When one can no longer perceive the red part of light, one is left with the grean and blue part. The green and blue part of light will superimpose to give a cyan color.
