When sun, moon, and Earth are lined up, we have 'Spring tides'.
This is new moon and full moon.

When there's a right angle at the Earth, we have "Neap tides".
This is first and third quarter.

A shovel is the third class lever

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

In a third-class lever, the effort force lies between the resistance force and the fulcrum. Some kinds of garden tools are examples of third-class levers. When you use a shovel, for example, you hold one end steady to act as the fulcrum, and you use your other hand to pull up on a load of dirt.

In the Bronsted-Lowry Theory of acids and bases, an acid is this.

madreJ [45]

Answer: An acid is a substance that donates a proton and produces a conjugate base.

Explanation:

According to Bronsted-Lowry theory, an acid is a substance that donates a proton and produces a conjugate base while a base is a molecule or ion which accepts the proton.

An example of Bronsted-Lowry acid and base is Ethanoic acid, CH3COOH and hydroxide ion, OH- respectively as shown in the reaction below

CH3COOH(aq) + OH-(aq) <---> CH3COO-(aq) + H2O(l)

Thus, ethanoic acid acts as an acid by donating a proton to the hydroxide ion which accepts it, thus producing ethanoate ion, CH3COO- as a conjugate base.

On a horizontal frictionless surface, a small block with mass 0.200 kg has a collision with a block of mass 0.400 kg. Immediatel

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:48.2 Joules

Explanation:

Given

two masses of 0.2 kg and 0.4 kg collide with each other

after collision 0.2 kg deflect 30 north of east and 0.4 kg deflects 53.1 south of east

Velocity of 0.2 kg mass is

$v_{0.2}=12\cos (30)\hat{i}+12\sin (30)\hat{j}$

$|v_{0.2}|=11.99 m/s\approx 12 m/s$

Velocity of 0.4 kg mass

$v_{0.4}=13\cos (53.1)\hat{i}-12\sin (53.1)\hat{j}$

$|v_{0.4}|=12.99 m/s\approx 13 m/s$

Thus total Kinetic energy $=\frac{0.2\times 12^2}{2}+\frac{0.4\times 13^2}{2}$

Kinetic energy=48.2 J

Why is 30% recommended as the minimum Michelson contrast?

forsale [732]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Michelson contrast is used for patterns where the distribution of bright and dark segments is nearly equal.

It is given by:

$m= \frac{I_{max}-I{min}}{I_{max}+I{min} }$

where I_max = maximum illumination and I_min = minimum illumination

we know that

typically, I_min = 54% of I_max (general standard)

or I_min = 0.54 I_max

putting this value in above equation to get m

this approximately corresponds to m = 0.3 or 30%

hence, 30% recommended as the minimum Michelson contrast

bumper car A (281 kg) moving +2.82 m/s makes an elastic collision with bumper car B (209 kg) moving +1.72 m/s what is the veloci

spin [16.1K]

Answer: V1 = 3.559 - 0.744V2

Explanation: Given that the

bumper car A has

Mass M1 = (281 kg) moving with

Velocity U1 = 2.82 m/s

bumper car B has

Mass M2 = (209 kg) moving with

Velocity U2 = 1.72 m/s

Where U1, U2 are the initial velocity of the two cars

Since the collision is elastic, we will use the formula below,

M1U1 + M2U2 = M1V1 + M2V2

Substitute the values into the formula

281×2.28 + 209×1.72 = 281V1 + 209V2

640.68 + 359.48 = 281V1 + 209V2

1000.16 = 281V1 + 209V2

Make V1 the subject of formula

281V1 = 1000.16 - 209V2

V1 = 1000.16/281 - 209V2/281

V1 = 3.559 - 0.744V2

Therefore, the velocity of car A which

is V1 after the collision will be expressed as V1 = 3.559 - 0.744V2
