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.

Q7) A box sliding with a velocity of 5 m/s accelerates at 2 m/s^2. How
grigory [225]

Answer:

The box displacement after 6 seconds is 66 meters.

Explanation:

Let suppose that velocity given in statement represents the initial velocity of the box and, likewise, the box accelerates at constant rate. Then, the displacement of the object (\Delta s), in meters, can be determined by the following expression:

\Delta s = v_{o}\cdot t+\frac{1}{2}\cdot a\cdot t^{2} (1)

Where:

v_{o} - Initial velocity, in meters per second.

t - Time, in seconds.

a - Acceleration, in meters per square second.

If we know that v_{o} = 5\,\frac{m}{s}, t = 6\,s and a = 2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, then the box displacement after 6 seconds is:

\Delta s = 66\,m

The box displacement after 6 seconds is 66 meters.

A train whistle is heard at 300 Hz as the train approaches town. The train cuts its speed in half as it nears the station, and t
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

The speed of the train before and after slowing down is 22.12 m/s and 11.06 m/s, respectively.

Explanation:

We can calculate the speed of the train using the Doppler equation:

f = f_{0}\frac{v + v_{o}}{v - v_{s}}        

Where:

f₀: is the emitted frequency

f: is the frequency heard by the observer  

v: is the speed of the sound = 343 m/s

v_{o}: is the speed of the observer = 0 (it is heard in the town)

v_{s}: is the speed of the source =?

The frequency of the train before slowing down is given by:

f_{b} = f_{0}\frac{v}{v - v_{s_{b}}}  (1)                  

Now, the frequency of the train after slowing down is:

f_{a} = f_{0}\frac{v}{v - v_{s_{a}}}   (2)  

Dividing equation (1) by (2) we have:

\frac{f_{b}}{f_{a}} = \frac{f_{0}\frac{v}{v - v_{s_{b}}}}{f_{0}\frac{v}{v - v_{s_{a}}}}

\frac{f_{b}}{f_{a}} = \frac{v - v_{s_{a}}}{v - v_{s_{b}}}   (3)  

Also, we know that the speed of the train when it is slowing down is half the initial speed so:

v_{s_{b}} = 2v_{s_{a}}     (4)

Now, by entering equation (4) into (3) we have:

\frac{f_{b}}{f_{a}} = \frac{v - v_{s_{a}}}{v - 2v_{s_{a}}}  

\frac{300 Hz}{290 Hz} = \frac{343 m/s - v_{s_{a}}}{343 m/s - 2v_{s_{a}}}

By solving the above equation for v_{s_{a}} we can find the speed of the train after slowing down:

v_{s_{a}} = 11.06 m/s

Finally, the speed of the train before slowing down is:

v_{s_{b}} = 11.06 m/s*2 = 22.12 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the train before and after slowing down is 22.12 m/s and 11.06 m/s, respectively.                        

I hope it helps you!
