Explain how tidal forces are causing Earth to slow down.

Physics
1 answer:
dybincka [34]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: The tidal forces exerted by the moon are directly associated with the earth's rotation. Due to the strong gravitational pull of the moon, the tidal bulging appears on both the sides on earth and these are region of high tide, and there is gradual rise and fall of sea level.

Because of these tidal effect, the earth is able to rotate only once in each of the orbital period.

JulsSmile [24]
I am assuming you know the relation obtained between slit width, distance of screen from slits, distance of interference pattern obtained on the screen from the center and the wavelength of monochromatic light used in Young's Double Slit experiment.
λ =\frac{y*d}{D} =  \frac{3.55*10^{-3}*1.25*10^{-4}  }{2.25} = 1.97*10^{-7} m
λ ~ 1.97 ×10⁻⁷m

Find the frequency if the period is 15 us.
Sav [38]

Answer:

The frequency is 0.667× 10^{6} Hz.

Explanation:

  1. Period is defined as the time taken by any element to attempt one complete oscillatory motion in one second.
  2. Frequency is the number of complete oscillations made in one second.
  • Frequency and period are inversely proportional to each other.
  • In mathematical term: frequency = \frac{1}{period}.
  • As we are given, period = 15×10^{-6} s.
  • We can easily calculate frequency as: f\\= \frac{1}{15. 10^{-6} }
  • So frequency is f= 0.667× 10^{6} Hz.
