Answer:

Tides on our planet are caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon and Sun. Earth's oceans "bulge out" because the Moon's gravity pulls a little harder on one side of our planet (the side closer to the Moon) than it does on the other. The Sun's gravity raises tides, too, but lunar tides are twice as big.

Answer:

Current in a parallel circuit = 0.61 amps (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Voltage V = 6 volt

Two resistors = 17.2 , 22.4 in parallel circuit

Find:

Current in a parallel circuit

Computation:

1/R = 1/r1 + 1 / r2

1/R = 1/17.2 + 1 / 22.4

R = 9.73 ohms (Approx)

Current in a parallel circuit = V / R

Current in a parallel circuit = 6 / 9.73

Current in a parallel circuit = 0.61 amps (Approx)

If the flea jumps straight up, how high will it go? (Ignore air resistance for this problem; in reality, air resistance plays a

Savatey [412]

Answer:

The flea will reach to a height of 5.2 cm.

Explanation:

Let us assume it is given that, a flea reaches a takeoff speed of 1.0 m/s over a distance of 0.50 mm.

Initial speed, u = 1 m/s

Initial distance, x = 0.5 mm

We need to find the height reached by the flea. Using third equation of motion to find it.

At maximum height, its final speed, v = 0

$v^2-u^2=2ah$

Here, a = -g

$-u^2=-2g(h-x)\\\\1^2=2\times 9.8\times (h-0.5\times 10^{-3})\\\\h=0.052\ m$

h = 5.2 cm

So, the flea will reach to a height of 5.2 cm.
