The ocean’s tides are not only affected by the shape of the coastlines, or slope of the ocean floor, but also by the gravitation

al tug of the Sun and the Moon. Write a 600 word report on the effect of the Moon, and Sun, on tidal reaction, and high tides and low tides. What orientation are the Sun and Moon in to create high tides? Low tides? There are two special types of tides. What are they called and what positions are the Sun and the Moon in during these times?

Answer:a

Explanation:

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

Suppose you are on an airplane moving at high speed. If you flip a coin straight up it will land in your lap rather than a great
maxonik [38]
It will land in your lap because there's different frames of motion relative to yourself. For example, if you're running at a speed of 6 mph, it doesn't mean you'll run as fast as the Earth spins. Also, since you're on the interior of the plane, any kind of wind or weather on the outside will not affect the coin. A law to back up this claim is Einsteins Special Law of Relativity.

A ball is kicked from the top of a building with a velocity of 50 m/s and lands 165 m away from the base of the buildi
solniwko [45]

Answer:

32.3 m/s

Explanation:

The ball follows a projectile motion, where:

- The horizontal motion is a uniform motion at costant speed

- The vertical motion is a free fall motion (constant acceleration)

We start by analyzing the horizontal motion. The ball travels horizontally at constant speed of

v_x = 50 m/s

and it covers a distance of

d = 165 m

So, the total time of flight of the ball is

t=\frac{d}{v_x}=\frac{165}{50}=3.3 s

In order to find the vertical velocity of the ball, we have now to analyze its vertical motion.

The vertical motion is a free-fall motion, so the ball is falling at constant acceleration; therefore we can use the following suvat equation:

v_y = u_y +at

where

v_y is the vertical velocity at time t

u_y=0 is the initial vertical velocity

a=g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration  of gravity (taking downward as positive direction)

Substituting t = 3.3 s (the time of flight), we find the final vertical velocity of the ball:

v=0 + (9.8)(3.3)=32.3 m/s

Anton [14]
GIVEN:
   60 beats per minute
   21 beats per minute
   find x= how fast would an astronaut be flying away
 1            x
-----   *  ------ = (60x = 21)  -------> 60x = 21    ------------>  x= 0.35 
60         21                                  -------   -----
                                                     60      60

The answer is 0.35 seconds which refers to how fast would an astronaut be flying away from the earth if he has a heart rate of 21 beats/min.
