During which phase of the moon do neap tides occur?

Physics

Ostrovityanka [42]3 years ago

Answer:

The answer is during the moon's <u>Quarter Phases</u>                              

Explanation:

During the moon's quarter phases the sun and moon work at right angles, making the <em>bulges </em>to cancel each other. The result is a smaller variation between high and low tides. This is known as a <u>Neap tide</u>.

Neap tides are particularly weak tides. They occur when the gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun are perpendicular to one another (with respect to the Earth). Neap tides occur during quarter moons.

What is a Bulge?

Earth's gravitational pull is so powerful that it creates a small bulge on the surface of the moon.

Cheers!

Answer:

First Quarter and Third Quarter.

Explanation:

Tides are formed as a consequence of the differentiation of gravity due to the Moon across to the Earth sphere.

Since gravity variates with the distance:

F = G\frac{m1\cdot m2}{r^{2}} (1)

Where m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects that are interacting and r is the distance between them.

For example, seeing the image below, point A is closer to the Moon than point b, and at the same time the center of mass of the Earth will feel more attracted to the Moon than point B. Therefore, that creates a tidal bulge in point A and point B.

When the Sun and the Moon are alight with respect to the Earth, then the Sun tidal force contributes to the tidal force of the Moon over the Earth. That makes the high tides even higher (spring tides).

               

However, when the Sun is not in the same line than the Moon (the Moon is at 90° with respect to the Sun), then the low tides are higher and the high tides are lower. That scenario is known as neap tides.

           

Therefore, that happens when the Moon is at First Quarter and Third Quarter.

You are an evolutionary biologist studying a population of bats in the rain forest in Brazil. Most of the population possesses m
Oxana [17]

Answer:

Option (B)

Explanation:

In the stabilizing natural selection, the extreme traits from both the ends are eliminated by natural selection and natural selection favors the intermediate trait. So over time individuals having the intermediate traits are selected over the individuals having extreme traits.

So here the population of the bat which possesses moderate wing length is selected over the individual with extreme traits like individuals with short wings and long wings. As a result, the population of moderate length wing bats increased.

Therefore the correct answer is (B)- stabilizing natural selection.

A potter’s wheel moves from rest to an angular speed of 0.50 rev/s in 28.9 s. Assuming constant angular acceleration, what is it
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

0.108 rad/s².

Explanation:

Given that

Initial angular velocity ,ωi = 0 rad/s

Final angular velocity ωf= 0.5 rev/s

We know that

1 rev/s = 6.28 rad/s

ωf= 3.14 rad/s

t= 28.9 s

We know that (if acceleration is constant)

ωf=ωi + α t

α=Angular acceleration

3.14 = 0 + α x 28.9

\alpha=\dfrac{3.14}{28.9}\ rad/s^2\\\alpha=0.108\ rad/s^2

Therefore the acceleration will be 0.108 rad/s².

Therefore the answer will be 0.108 rad/s².

Approximately how many kilograms (kg) of carnivore (secondary consumer) biomass can be supported by an area of a field containin
Anastasy [175]

Only 10 Kg of secondary consumers can be supported by the ecosystem.

There exists such a thing as the 10% rule in the transfer of energy in biomass from one trophic level to another. This rule ultimately controls the mass of biomass that is available at the next higher trophic level.

This rule state that only 10% of the energy in biomass is transferred to the next trophic level. By this rule, only 10% of the energy in the plant material is transferred to the carnivore population. Therefore, only 10 Kg of secondary consumers can be supported by the ecosystem.

Bumek [7]

Answer:

By pushing the pendulum Bob up so it moves faster

Explanation:

In pendulum physics the length of the pendulum Bob determines the speed of the clock. So since the grandfather's clock is slow it means the Bob is has moved down so to move it up you have to achieve this by adjusting the but upwards thereby making the clock move faster.
