The greatest tidal extremes occur when the Sun, Moon, and Earth
are all lined up along the same straight line. Those occasions are
at the time of the Full Moon ... when the Earth is the middle one ...
and the time of the New Moon ... when the Moon is the middle one.
Those are the occasions of the highest high tides and the lowest
low tides, known collectively as "Spring tides".

The smallest tidal extremes occur when the Sun, Moon, and Earth
form a right angle, with the Earth at the vertex. Those occasions are
at the time of the First Quarter and Third Quarter Moon. Those are
the occasions of the highest low tides and the lowest high tides,
known collectively as "Neap tides".

#1 & #3: Spring tides
#2: False

Question 1: the full moon is a spring tide

Question 2 is true. Neap Tides do have higher and lower tides than normal.

Question 3: (the same as Question 1)-- The new moon is a spring tide

Answer:

Convection and Radiation mechanisms carry most of the heat

Explanation:

This is because Convection proceeds strongy as heated air rises from the hot element while Radiation is also strong, although the material of the cooking pots will how effective it is.

A 5.0 kg box is sliding across a waxed floor by the application of a 15 N east force. If the force of friction is 2.5 N west, wh

coldgirl [10]

1) 12.5 N east

There are two forces acting on the box along the horizontal direction:

- The applied force of 15 N east, we indicate it with F

- The force of friction of 2.5 N west, we indicate it with $F_f$

Taking east as positive direction, we can write the two forces has

$F=+15 N\\F_f = -2.5 N$

Therefore, the net force on the box will be:

$F_{net} = F + F_f = 15 + (-2.5) = +12.5 N$

And the positive sign means the direction is east.

2) $2.5 m/s^2$

We can solve this part by using Newton's second law:

$F_{net}=ma$

where

$F_{net}$ is the net force on the box

m is its mass

a is the acceleration

For the box in this problem,

$F_{net} = 12.5 m/s^2$ (east)

m = 5.0 kg

Solving for a, we find the acceleration:

$a=\frac{F_{net}}{m}=\frac{12.5}{5.0}=2.5 m/s^2$

And the direction is the same as the net force (east)

The chart shows the masses of selected particles.

Molodets [167]

Answer: 0.2 u

Explanation:

The atomic mass of nuclide is written as a superscript. On the left (reactants) aide of the nuclear equation shown, the total atomic mass is 235.0 + 1.0 u = 236 u. On the right (products) side reaction, the total atomic mass is 137.9u + 94.9u + 3 x 1.0u = 235.8 u. Therefore, 0.2 mass units must have been converted into energy.
