During which phase of the moon do neap tides occur?
Fynjy0 [20]

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.

A 0.10 g honeybee acquires a charge of +23 pC while flying.
kari74 [83]

Answer:

a) \frac{F}{w} =2.347\times 10^{-6}\ N

b) E=4.2609\times 10^7\ N.C^{-1} parallel to the earth surface.

  • In this case according to the Fleming's left hand rule the direction of movement of bee must be in a direction parallel to the earth surface and perpendicular to the electric field at the same time.

Explanation:

Given:

mass of the bee, m=10^{-4}\ kg

charge acquired by the bee, q_2=23\times 10^{-12}\ C

a.

Electrical field near the earth surface, E=100\ N.C^{-1}

Now the electric force on the bee:

we know:

F=\frac{1}{4\pi.\epsilon_0} \times \frac{q_1.q_2}{r^2}

F=E.q_2

F=100\times 23\times 10^{-12}

F=23\times 10^{-10}\ N

The weight of the bee:

w=m.g

w=10^{-4}\times 9.8

w=9.8\times10^{-4}\ N

Therefore the ratio :

\frac{F}{w} =\frac{23\times 10^{-10}}{9.8\times10^{-4}}

\frac{F}{w} =2.347\times 10^{-6}\ N

b.

The condition for the bee to hang is its weight must get balanced by the electric force acing equally in the opposite direction.

So,

F=9.8\times10^{-4}\ N

E.q_2=9.8\times10^{-4}\ N

E\times 23\times 10^{-12}=9.8\times10^{-4}\ N

E=4.2609\times 10^7\ N.C^{-1} parallel to the earth surface.

  • In this case according to the Fleming's left hand rule the direction of movement of bee must be in a direction parallel to the earth surface and perpendicular to the electric field at the same time.

How could you test the hypothesis that elephants interpreted the ground signal as being farther away than the air signal?
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

One way to test the hypothesis is to create two waves, one in the air and one on the ground at the same time. One of them for the elephant to get closer and another for the elephants to move away. Observe the reaction of the animal and with this we know which sound came first.

Explanation:

This hypothesis is based on the fact that the speed of sound in air is v = 343 m / s with a small variation with temperature.

The speed of sound in solid soil is an average of the speed of its constituent media, giving values ​​between

 wood      3900 m / s

 concrete 4000 m / s

 fabrics     1540 m / s

 earth       5000 m / s wave S

 ground    7000 m / s P wave

 

we can see that the speed on solid earth is an order of magnitude greater than in air.

One way to test the hypothesis is to create two waves, one in the air and one on the ground at the same time. One of them for the elephant to get closer and another for the elephants to move away. Observe the reaction of the animal and with this we know which sound came first.

From the initial information, the wave going through the ground should arrive first.

Through which type of media do mechanical waves, such as sound, move the fastest?
monitta

 Mechanical waves travel the fastest in solids and liquids because the molecules are more closely packed together than gases, so energy is transferred from one particle to another particle faster<span>.</span>
