Why does the moon's gravity have a greater effect on the earth's ocean than the sun.

1 answer:

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.

A 2190 kg car moving east at 10.5 m/s collides with a 3220 kg car moving east. The cars stick together and move east as a unit a

Bezzdna [24]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of the Momentum describing the inelastic collision of two bodies. By definition the collision between the two bodies is given as:

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2 = (m_1+m_2)V_f$

Where,

$m_{1,2}$ = Mass of each object

$v_{1,2}$ = Initial Velocity of Each object

$V_f$ = Final Velocity

Our values are given as

$m_1 = 2190Kg$

$v_1 =10.5m/s$

$m_2 = 3220kg$

$V_f = 4.74m/s$

Replacing we have that

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2 = (m_1+m_2)V_f$

$(2190)(10.5)+(3220)v_2 = (2190+3220)(4.74)$

$v_2 = 0.8224m/s$

Therefore the the velocity of the 3220 kg car before the collision was 0.8224m/s

An engine absorbs 1749 J from a hot reservoir and expels 539 J to a cold reservoir in each cycle. a. What is the engine’s effici

Masja [62]

Answer:

a)η = 69.18 %

b)W= 1210 J

c)P=3967.21 W

Explanation:

Given that

Q₁ = 1749 J

Q₂ = 539 J

From first law of thermodynamics

Q₁ = Q₂ +W

W=Work out put

Q₂=Heat rejected to the cold reservoir

Q₁ =heat absorb by hot reservoir

W= Q₁- Q₂

W= 1210 J

The efficiency given as

$\eta=\dfrac{W}{Q_1}$

$\eta=\dfrac{1210}{1749}$

$\eta=0.6918$

η = 69.18 %

We know that rate of work done is known as power

$P=\dfrac{W}{t}$

$P=\dfrac{1210}{0.305}\ W$

P=3967.21 W

the ratio of the energy per second radiated by the filament of a lamp at 250k to that radiated at 2000k, assuming the filament i

Naily [24]

Answer:

(a) $\frac{P_{250k}}{P_{2000k}}=2.4\ x\ 10^{-4}$

(b) P = 0.816 Watt

Explanation:

(a)

The power radiated from a black body is given by Stefan Boltzman Law:

$P = \sigma AT^4$

where,

P = Energy Radiated per Second = ?

σ = stefan boltzman constant = 5.67 x 10⁻⁸ W/m².K⁴

T = Absolute Temperature

So the ratio of power at 250 K to the power at 2000 K is given as:

$\frac{P_{250k}}{P_{2000k}}=\frac{\sigma A(250)^4}{\sigma A(2000)^4}\\\\\frac{P_{250k}}{P_{2000k}}=2.4\ x\ 10^{-4}$

(b)

Now, for 90% radiator blackbody at 2000 K:

$P = (0.9)(5.67\ x\ 10^{-8}\ W/m^2.K^4)(1\ x\ 10^{-6}\ m^2)(2000\ K)^4$

<u>P = 0.816 Watt</u>
