Ok, I’ll try to help, but I’d need to see the picture of the positions of the sun, earth, and moon to help you fully.

So, the first thing to note is that gravity is an attractive force, meaning that; something that has mass, call the m1 will “pull toward” another mass, call it m2. The two objects pull on each other, mutually.

If an object has more mass it pull more, and if an object has less mass, it pulls less.

Another thing to note is that distances matter. The closer the objects are to each other, the more pull they’ll “feel”.

So, the ocean tides are the effect of ocean water responding to a gravitational gradient, the moon plays a larger role in creating tides than the sun does. But the sun's gravitational gradient across the earth is significant and it does contribute to tides as well.

So, when the bulge of the ocean caused by the sun’s gravity, partially cancels out the bulge of the ocean caused by the moon gravity. This produces moderate tides known as the neap tides, meaning that high tides are a little lower and low tides are a little higher than average.

I hope that helps.

A 2.0 kg particle moves in a circle of radius 3.1 m. As you look down on the plane of its orbit, the particle is initially movin
Ghella [55]

Answer

given,

L(t) = 10 - 3.5 t

mass of particle = 2 Kg

radius of the circle = 3.1 m

a) torque

    τ = \dfrac{dL}{dt}

    τ = \dfrac{d}{dt}(10 - 3.5 t)

    τ = -3.5 N.m

Particle rotates clockwise as i look down the plane. Hence, its angular velocity is downward.

L decreases the angular acceleration upward. so, net torque is upward.

b) Moment of inertia of the particle

    I = m R^2

    I = 2 x 3.1²

    I = 19.22 kg.m²

    L = I ω

    ω = \dfrac{L}{I}

    ω = \dfrac{10 - 3.5 t}{19.22}

    ω = 0.520 - 0.182 t

  A = 0.52 rad/s             B = -0.182 rad/s²

The star Vega has an apparent visual magnitude of 0.03, and the star HR 4374 has an apparent visual magnitude of 4.87. It has be
laila [671]

Answer:

(D) Vega must produce more energy than HR 4374.

Explanation:

The apparent visual magnitude is defined as the luminosity of a star seen from earth. The Greek astronomer Hipparcos was the first who invent a numerical scale to describe how bright a star appear to be in the sky to the naked eye, so he gave an apparent magnitude of 6 to the faintest star in the sky and an apparent magnitude of 1 to the brigthest one. Since the arrive of the telescope era this range was expanded to negative numbers for the most luminous one.

The human eye has a logaritmical response to the luminosity of stars, so as an example, if one star has an apparent magnitude of 6 and another one has an apparent magnitude of 1, the second one will be 100 times brigther than the first one. In the other hand, for a star that has apparent magnitude of 1 it will appear to be 2.512 times brigther than a star with apparent magnitude of 2.

The apparent magnitude of a star can variate as a consecuence of the distance from earth or for its energy production.

With all these facts clear enough described above, it is easier to conclude that as the two star are at the same distance the apparent visual magnitude will depend in the energy production. In the case of Vega it has an apparent visual magnitude of 0.03, while HR 4374 has an apparent visual magnitude of 4.87. According with the scale stablished for Hipparcos, Vega will be more luminous than HR 4374. This means that Vega produce more energy than HR 4374.
