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! :)

You push on a cart (18.0kg) at a 30 degree below horizontal angle. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the chair and the

podryga [215]

Given that force is applied at an angle of 30 degree below the horizontal

So let say force applied if F

now its two components are given as

$F_x = Fcos30$

$F_y = Fsin30$

Now the normal force on the block is given as

$N = Fsin30 + mg$

$N = 0.5F + (18\times 9.8)$

$N = 0.5F + 176.4$

now the friction force on the cart is given as

$F_f = \mu N$

$F_f = 0.625(0.5F + 176.4)$

$F_f = 110.25 + 0.3125F$

now if cart moves with constant speed then net force on cart must be zero

so now we have

$F_f + F_x = 0$

$Fcos30 - (110.25 + 0.3125F) = 0$

$0.866F - 0.3125F = 110.25$

$F = 199.2 N$

so the force must be 199.2 N

In one cycle a heat engine absorbs 450 J from a high-temperature reservoir and expels 290 J to a low-temperature reservoir. If t

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

So the ratio will be $\frac{T_L}{T_H}=-0.171$

Explanation:

We have given heat engine absorbs 450 joule from high temperature reservoir

So $Q=450j$

As the heat engine expels 290 j

So work done W = 290 J

We know that efficiency $\eta =\frac{W}{Q}=\frac{290}{450}=0.6444$

It is given that efficiency of the engine only 55 % of Carnot engine

So efficiency of Carnot engine $=\frac{0.6444}{0.55}=1.171$

Efficiency of Carnot engine is $\eta =1-\frac{T_L}{T_H}$

$1.171 =1-\frac{T_L}{T_H}$

$\frac{T_L}{T_H}=-0.171$

Find the mass of an object on planet F if its weight is 650 N (g = 13m/s^2)

Andrew [12]

Answer:

the object's mass is 50 kg

Explanation:

We use Newton's second law to solve for the mass:

F = m * a , then m = F / a

In our case, the acceleration is the gravitational acceleration on the planet, and the force is the weight of the object on the planet. So we get:

m = w / a = 650 N / 13 m/s^2 = 50 kg

Then, the object's mass is 50 kg.

The speed of sound in air is approximately 340 m/s. The speed of light in air is approximately 3 x 108 m/s. If 10 seconds elapse

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

3400 m

Explanation:

Both lightning and thunder happen at the same time but one is faster than the other. The distance traveled by a sound can be calculated from its speed such that;

speed = distance/time, hence, distance = speed x time.

<em>For a thunder with 340 m/s speed and 10 seconds away from lightning, the distance between the thunder and the lightning can be calculated as</em>;

distance = 340 m/s x 10 s = 3400 m

Summerize how friction and inertia act on an object sliding on a flat surface

natta225 [31]

Inertia is when a object in motion will stay in motion or in a standing still state unless acted upon by a unbalancing force.
Friction is when a object slows down because it is rubbing against another object.

If a object is sliding across a surface, theoretically, it would not stop but because it is on a flat surface it would experience friction, this will disperse some of the kinetic energy that it has thus slowing the object down eventually, after some time, to a stop.

Hope this helps! :)
