The "energy" is actually gravity. When the moon is on one side of the Earth, this causes high tidal waves. Meanwhile, the other side that is morning would have low tides. The gravity belongs to the moon. Hope this helps.

Waves are made by storms. The storms don't have to be close, just close enough to to make the waves. Also the moon helps.

Light incident upon a pane of glass slows down in passing through the glass, Does it emerge at a slower speed or at its initial

Simora [160]

Answer:

It will emerge at its initial speed not a slower speed.

Explanation:

It will emerge at the initial speed because the medium at the point of emergence is the same as the medium before incidence.

Light moves at a constant speed in any particular medium. Hence, the speed of light in air is constant in air and the speed of light in glass is constant in glass.

While camping in Denali National Park in Alaska, a wise camper hangs his pack of food from a rope tied between two trees, to kee

Crank

The tension in each of the ropes is 625 N.

Draw a free body diagram for the bag of food as shown in the attached diagram. Since the bag hangs from the midpoint of the rope, the rope makes equal angles θ with the horizontal. The tensions <em>T</em> in both the ropes are also equal.

Resolve the tension T in the ropes into horizontal and vertical components T cosθ and T sinθ respectively, as shown in the figure. At equilibrium,

$2T sin\theta = 50 N$ ......(1)

Calculate the value of sinθ using the right angled triangles from the diagram.

$sin\theta =\frac{0.06 m}{1.5 m} =0.04$

Substitute the value of sinθ in equation (1) and simplify to obtain T.

$2T sin\theta = 50 N\\ T= \frac{50 N}{2 sin\theta}=\frac{50 N}{2*0.06} = 625 N$

Thus the tension in the rope is 625 N.
