What causes tides on earth

Physics
1 answer:
Marina86 [1]3 years ago
7 0

Gravity is one major force that creates tides. In 1687, Sir Isaac Newton explained that ocean tides result from the gravitational attraction of the sun and moon on the oceans of the earth (Sumich, J.L., 1996). Tidal forces are based on the gravitational attractive force.

lana66690 [7]
According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, the net force experienced by the system is equal to the mass of the system in question times the acceleration in motion. In this case, the net force is the difference of gravitational force and the force experience by the motion of the airplane. This difference is already given to be 210 N.

Net force = ma
210 N = (73 kg)(a)
a = +2.92 m/s²

Thus, the acceleration of the airplane's motion is 2.92 m/s² to the positive direction which is upwards.

A vertically polarized beam of light of intensity 100 W/m2 passes through two ideal polarizers. The transmission axis of the fir
TEA [102]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the Malus Law. Malus's law indicates that the intensity of a linearly polarized beam of light, which passes through a perfect analyzer with a vertical optical axis is equivalent to:

I=I_0 cos^2\theta

Where,

I_ {0} indicates the intensity of the light before passing through the polarizer,

I is the resulting intensity, and

\theta indicates the angle between the axis of the analyzer and the polarization axis of the incident light.

Since we have two objects the law would be,

I=I_0cos^2\theta_1*cos^2(\theta_2-\theta_1)

Replacing the values,

I=100*cos^2(20)*cos^2(40-20)

I=100*cos^4(20)

I=77.91W/m^2

Therefore the intesity of the light after it has passes through both polarizers is 77.91W/m^2

A 100 N force is applied to move an object a horizontal distance of 5 meters at constant speed in 10 seconds. How much power is
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

50 W

Explanation:

<h3><u>Given :</u></h3>

  • Force applied = 100 N
  • Distance covered = 5 metres
  • Time = 10 seconds

<h3><u>To find :</u></h3>

Power

<h3><u>Solution :</u></h3>

For calculating power, we first need to know about the work done.

\bf \boxed{Work = Force \times displacement}

Now, substituting values in the above formula;

Work = 100 × 5

= 500 Nm or 500 J

We know that,

\bf \boxed{Power=\dfrac{Work\:done}{Time\: taken}}

Substituting values in above formula;

Power = 500/ 10

= 50 Nm/s or 50 W

Hence, power = 50 W .

liberstina [14]

Answer: Doppler Effect

Doppler Effect can be described as the change in wavelength of a wave like upward shift in frequency for an object whom is approaching and an apparent downward shift in frequency for observers from whom the source is receding. This effect can be observed when a boat moves through the water then the waves in front bunch up while the waves behind the boat spread out.
