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) 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

A girl is sledding down a slope that is inclined at 30º with respect to the horizontal. The wind is aiding the motion by providi
OleMash [197]

Answer:

The sled required 9.96 s to travel down the slope.

Explanation:

Please, see the figure for a description of the problem. In red are the x and y-components of the gravity force (Fg). Since the y-component of Fg (Fgy) is of equal magnitude as Fn but in the opposite direction, both forces get canceled.

Then, the forces that cause the acceleration of the sled are the force of the wind (Fw), the friction force (Ff) and the x-component of the gravity force (Fgx).

The sum of all these forces make the sled move. Finding the resulting force will allow us to find the acceleration of the sled and, with it, we can find the time the sled travel.

The magnitude of the friction force is calculated as follows:

Ff = μ · Fn

where :

μ = coefficient of kinetic friction

Fn =  normal force

The normal force has the same magnitude as the y-component of the gravity force:

Fgy = Fg · cos 30º = m · g · cos 30º

Where

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

Then:

Fgy = m · g · cos 30º = 87.7 kg · 9.8 m/s² · cos 30º

Fgy = 744 N

Then, the magnitude of Fn is also 744 N and the friction force will be:

Ff = μ · Fn = 0.151 · 744 N = 112 N

The x-component of Fg, Fgx, is calculated as follows:

Fgx = Fg · sin 30º = m·g · sin 30º = 87.7 kg · 9.8 m/s² · sin 30º = 430 N

The resulting force, Fr, will be the sum of all these forces:

Fw + Fgx - Ff = Fr

(Notice that forces are vectors and the direction of the friction force is opposite to the other forces, then, it has to be of opposite sign).

Fr = 161 N + 430 N - 112 N = 479 N

With this resulting force, we can calculate the acceleration of the sled:

F = m·a

where:

F = force

m = mass of the object

a = acceleration

Then:

F/m = a

a = 479N/87.7 kg = 5.46 m/s²

The equation for the position of an accelerated object moving in a straight line is as follows:

x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

where:

x = position at time t

x0 = initial position

v0 = initial velocity

t = time

a = acceleration

Since the sled starts from rest and the origin of the reference system is located where the sled starts sliding, x0 and v0 = 0.

x = 1/2· a ·t²

Let´s find the time at which the position of the sled is 271 m:

271 m = 1/2 · 5.46 m/s² · t²

2 · 271 m / 5.46 m/s² = t²

<u>t = 9.96 s </u>

The sled required almost 10 s to travel down the slope.

A box slides down a frictionless incline, gaining speed. The work done by the normal force n is _______.
jeka57 [31]

The work done by the normal force n when the box slides down a frictionless incline and gaining speed is zero.

<h3>What is normal force?</h3>

The force of contact is called the normal force. When the two surfaces are in contact with each other, then the normal force acts.

This force is applied by the solid bodies on each other in order to prevent the passing through each other.

A box slides down a frictionless incline, gaining speed. For this box, the value of work done by normal force has to be found out. Let's analyze the given condition.

  • The body is gaining the speed, which means there is a change in kinetic energy.
  • The change in kinetic energy is equal to the work done.
  • The friction force is the product of coefficient of the friction and normal force.
  • The friction force for the given case is zero. Thus, the normal force must be equal to the zero.

Thus, the work done by the normal force n when the box slides down a frictionless incline and gaining speed is zero.

____ [38]

Answer:

The answer is choice (3)

Explanation: Land materials do require more energy than water to raise their temperature by one degree, hence why water gets heated a lot easier than something like wood.
