The moon and sun and their distances from each other do play a critical role in affecting  the oceans tides.  Gravity is one of the main forces that creates the tides.Tidal generating forces are based on the gravitational attractive force.

Hope this helps! :)

what do you think is the purpose of a periscope? Are there any other uses for periscopes besides for submarines?
spin [16.1K]

Military personnel also use periscopes in some gun turrets and in armoured vehicles. More complex periscopes using prisms or advanced fibre optics instead of mirrors and providing magnification operate on submarines and in various fields of science

What is the first semiconductor
madam [21]

English "natural philosopher" (the contemporary term for physicist) Michael Faraday is renowned for his discovery of the principles of electro-magnetic induction and electro-magnetic rotation, the interaction between electricity and magnetism that led to the development of the electric motor and generator. The unit of measurement of electrical capacitance - the farad (F) - is named in his honor. Faraday's experimental work in chemistry, which included the discovery of benzene, also led him to the first documented observation of a material that we now call a semiconductor. While investigating the effect of temperature on "sulphurette of silver" (silver sulfide) in 1833 he found that electrical conductivity increased with increasing temperature. This effect, typical of semiconductors, is the opposite of that measured in metals such as copper, where conductivity decreases as temperature is increased. In a chapter entitled "On Conducting Power Generally" in his book Experimental Researches in Electricity Faraday writes "I have lately met with an extraordinary case ... which is in direct contrast with the influence of heat upon metallic bodies ... On applying a lamp ... the conducting power rose rapidly with the heat ... On removing the lamp and allowing the heat to fall, the effects were reversed." We now understand that raising the temperature of most semiconductors increases the density of charge carriers inside them and hence their conductivity. This effect is used to make thermistors - special resistors that exhibit a decrease in electrical resistance (or an increase in conductivity) with an increase in temperature. <span> Next Milestone </span> Contemporary Documents <span> <span>Faraday, M.

The displacement of a 500 g mass, undergoing simple harmonic motion, is defined by the function :
Delicious77 [7]

The maximum kinetic energy, maximum potential energy and the maximum mechanical energy are equal to 7.56J.

<h3>What is simple harmonic motion?</h3>

Simple harmonic motion, in physics, repetitive movement back and forth through an equilibrium, or central, position, so that the maximum displacement on one side of this position is equal to the maximum displacement on the other side.

Simple Harmonic Motion

The given equation of the simple harmonic motion is

x=3.5 sin (\frac{\pi }{2t} + \frac{5\pi }{4} )

Data;

ω = π/2

k = 1.254N/m

Solving this

\frac{dx}{dt} = -3.5 X \frac{\pi }{2} cos (\frac{x\pi t}{2}+\frac{5\pi }{4}  )

Let's calculate the maximum velocity.

V_{m} =\frac{3.5\pi }{2}

This is only possible when cos θ = -1

The maximum kinetic energy is

K_m =\frac{1}{2} mv^2 = \frac{1}{2} X \frac{500}{1000} X \frac{7^2\pi ^2}^{4} ^2

w^2 = \frac{k}{m} \\k = w^2m\\k = \frac{\pi ^2}{4} X \frac{500}{1000} \\k =1.254 N/m

Using the value of spring constant, we can find the maximum potential energy.

P.E =\frac{1}{2} k x^2\\P.E =\frac{1}{2} X 1.234 X 3.5^2 \\P.E = 7.56 J

The maximum potential energy is 7.56J

The maximum mechanical energy is equal to the sum of maximum potential energy and the maximum kinetic energy.

ME = K.E + P.E

ME = 7.56J

From the calculations above, the maximum kinetic energy, maximum potential energy and the maximum mechanical energy are equal to 7.56J.
