Physics

Pepsi [2]4 years ago

Tidal bulges are always on the opposite side of the Earth.
They are created because of the gravitational influence of the Moon on Earth and inertial's counter balance.

The side of the Earth that is facing the Moon is the closest to the Moon, and the gravitational force is the strongest when the distance is the smallest.  

As the Moon is trying to draw the water towards itself, the inertia tries to keep the water at its place. On the opposite side of the Earth, "behind the Moon",  the gravitational force of the Moon is the weakest, so inertia is the strongest. That's why tidal bulges are at the opposite side.

An object with a mass of 20 kg has a net force of 80 N acting on it. What is the acceleration of the object?
alexdok [17]
Newton's 2nd law of motion says

                   Net force = (mass) x (acceleration)

Plug in the things you know, and you have

                   80 N  =  (20 kg) x (acceleration)

Divide each side by (20 kg) :

                  80N / 20kg  =  acceleration

                   acceleration  =  4 m/s²

Suppose Person A runs off the edge of the cliff at 2 m/s and Person B runs off the edge at 1 m/s. Which will hit the ground fart
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

<h2>Person A will hit a distance father</h2>

Explanation:

Based on the fact that the velocity of person A is more than that of person B, that is from the question, person A has a velocity of 2m/s and person B has a velocity of 1m/s, this clearly shows that person A has the tendency to hit a distance farther from the cliff than person B.
