Answer:
a) According to Newton's law of gravitation, as the distance between the Moon and the Earth decreases, the gravitational attraction increases and vice versa
The gravitational force of the Moon on the Earth causes the Earth to be slightly bulged on the side directly facing the Moon
The gravitational force also pulls the water bodies on the Earth's surface towards the Moon in the same manner and the effect is more pronounced due to the ability of the liquid water to assume a shape based on the magnitude of the gravitational field attracting it
Therefore, the region where the Moon is closest to the Earth we have a high tide as the water level rises and the region which is perpendicular to where the Moon is located has a low tide
b) The two special types of tides are
1) The neap tide
2) The spring tide
Neap tide
Neap tide occurs when the Sun and Moon are 90° apart from each other when they are viewed by an observer from Earth
The gravitational pull of the Sun cancels (partially) the effect of the gravitational pull and tidal force of the Moon, resulting in minimum tidal range
Spring Tide
Spring tide occurs when the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun are simultaneously inline, such that the Sun reinforces the gravitational pull and tidal force of the Moon, resulting in a maximum tidal range

Explanation:
The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is given by:
(1)
where
is the vacuum permittivity
A is the area of the plates
d is the separation between the plates
The charge stored on the capacitor is given by
(2)
where C is the capacitance and V is the voltage across the capacitor.
The displacement current in the capacitor is given by
(3)
where t is the time elapsed
Substituting (1) and (2) into (3), we find an expression for the displacement current:
where we have
Substituting into the equation, we find
Answer:
It is characterized by fast, quick passes down the court and using more players on the attack than the opposition has for their defense. Slower, more deliberate play characterizes the slow-break style. This technique calls for more thoughtful action; players maneuver carefully in order to shoot in this type of offense.
