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

Physics
1 answer:
White raven [17]4 years ago
4 0

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.

An object with an initial speed of 4.0 meters per second accelerates uniformly at 2.0 meters per second squared in the direction
leva [86]

Answer:

6 m/s.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial velocity (u) = 4 m/s

Acceleration (a) = 2 m/s²

Distance (s) = 5 m

Final velocity (v) =?

The final velocity of the object can obtained as shown below:

v² = u² + 2as

v² = 4² + (2 × 2 × 5)

v² = 16 + 20

v² = 36

Take the square root of both side.

v = √36

v = 6 m/s

Therefore, the final speed of the object is 6 m/s.

Which of the following are true for an object in projectile motion?
Novosadov [1.4K]
The correct options are: B, C and D.

In fact:
- B is true, because the motion of the projectile can be decomposed in two independent motions on the x and y axis. On the x-axis, there is no acceleration; while on the y-axis, the projectile is accelerating towards the ground with g=9.81 m/s^2 (acceleration of gravity)
- C is true, because the two motions on the horizontal and vertical direction are independent. In particular, the horizontal motion is a uniform motion (constant velocity), while the vertical motion is a uniformly accelerated motion (because of the gravitational acceleration g acting on the projectile)
- D is true, in fact (if we neglect air resistance) gravity is the only force acting on the projectile.
