Energy can be changed from one form to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed. ... This principle is referred to as the first law of thermodynamics or the law of energy conservation. The law applies to all systems both large and small, and, again, it states that energy cannot be created or destroyed.
Answer:
Tides on our planet are caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon and Sun. Earth's oceans "bulge out" because the Moon's gravity pulls a little harder on one side of our planet (the side closer to the Moon) than it does on the other. The Sun's gravity raises tides, too, but lunar tides are twice as big.
The reciprocal of the total resistance is equal to the sum of the reciprocals of the component resistances:
1/(120.7 Ω) = 1/<em>R₁</em> + 1/(221.0 Ω)
1/<em>R₁</em> = 1/(120.7 Ω) - 1/(221.0 Ω)
<em>R₁</em> = 1 / (1/(120.7 Ω) - 1/(221.0 Ω)) ≈ 265.9 Ω
