Tide is the alternating pattern of rising and falling sea level with respect to land.

There are three types of tide relative to the position of the moon and sun to that of the earth.

1. Spring tides. Occur when the moon sun and earth arrange themselves more or less in a straight line, like an arrow. These tides are the highest and lowest tides.

2. Perigean spring tides. Occur when the new moon or full moon closely aligns with perigee, the closest point to the earth in the moon's orbit. These tides are not as high or low as the spring tides.

3. Neap tides. Occur when the sun and the moon are at right angles as seen from earth.The tides are at minimum range.

In a certain clock, a pendulum of length L1 has a period T1 = 0.95s. The length of the pendulum

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Ratio of length will be $\frac{L_2}{L_1}=1.108$

Explanation:

We have given time period of the pendulum when length is $L_1$ is $T_1=0.95sec$

And when length is $L_2$ time period $T_2=1sec$

We know that time period is given by

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

So $0.95=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L_1}{g}}$ ----eqn 1

And $1=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L_2}{g}}$ -------eqn 2

Dividing eqn 2 by eqn 1

$\frac{1}{0.95}=\sqrt{\frac{L_2}{L_1}}$

Squaring both side

$\frac{L_2}{L_1}=1.108$

Consider a spherical volume of space that is large enough to be considered homogeneous. Also consider a particle on the surface

LenKa [72]

Answer:

Option A applies.

A. Greater than its escape speed from the mass within the volume

Explanation:

Here it is mentioned that the spherical volume is large enough for the space to be considered as homogeneous. Also, the pressure within the volume is negligible, so that will not result into the re collapse of the Universe. Now as per our knowing, Hubble's Law relates the average speed of the particle to the distance R between the Earth and the particle. So, if the particle's speed is greater than it's escape speed from the mass within the volume, then the Universe is bound to re collapse back again. Option A applies.

A particle of mass M moves along a straight line with initial speed vi. A force of magnitude F pushes the particle a distance D

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

Initial kinetic energy of M = 1/2 M vi²

let final velocity be vf

v² = u² + 2a s

vf² = vi² + 2 (F / M) x D

Kinetic energy

= 1/2 Mvf²

= 1/2 M ( vi² + 2 (F / M) x D

1/2 M vi² + FD

Ratio with initial value

1/2 M vi² + FD) / 1/2 M vi²

RK = 1 + FD / 2 M vi²
