Answer:
The angular velocity is slowing down.
Explanation:
- By convention, if a rigid body is rotating clockwise, the angular velocity is negative.
- If the angular acceleration has a positive sign, since the angular acceleration and the angular velocity have opposite signs, this means that the angular velocity is slowing down.
See the attached picture:
The frequency of the wave is 4 Hz
Action-reaction pairs.
This is in reference to Newton’s second law of motion.
About 12 hours is the time between a morning high tide and the next high tide
Explanation:
The Earth’s rotation happens between two tidal bulges
The “periodic rise and fall” of the surface water levels of the ocean is called tides. The gravitational action and interaction on the earth by the sun and the moon causes these tides. Different regions of the World experiences different patterns of tides like the diurnal, semi-diurnal etc.
When there is one high and one low tide occurring on a lunar day, then it is diurnal pattern. Semi-diurnal pattern occurs when there are two equal high and low tides on a single lunar day.
Since the Earth’s rotation happens between two tidal “bulges” on each lunar day, the coastal areas can experience two high and two low tides in every 24 hours plus 50 minutes.
Accordingly the time between two high tides would be 12 hours plus 25 minutes. Similarly, the time gap between a high to low tide would be 6 hours plus 12.5 minutes.
