Answer:

D. Tidal energy is replaced naturally by the Moon's gravity.

Explanation:

The reason tidal energy is considered a renewable energy resource is that Tidal energy is replaced naturally by the Moon's gravity. The Moon's gravity creates bulges on the side of Earth that is closest and farthest from the Moon. These bulges also pull water causing high tides in those areas. As the Earth rotates these areas experience low tide while the areas that had low tide now experience high tide. This constant shift creates tidal energy every day, which is replenished naturally.

How did astronomers precisely determine the length of an Astronomical Unit in the 1960s?
zaharov [31]

Answer:

Use of telemetry and radar astronomy

Explanation:

An astronomical Unit (AU) is a unit of measuring distances in outer space, which is based on the approximate distance between the earth and the Sun.

After several years of trying to approximate the distance between the Sun and the Earth using several methods based on geometry and some other calculations, advancements in technology made available the presence of special motoring equipment, which can be placed in outer space to remotely monitor and measure the position of the sun.

The use of direct radar measurements to the sun (radar astronomy) have also made the determination of the AU more accurate.

A standard radar pulse of known speed is sent to the Sun, and the time with which it takes to return is measured,  once this is recorded, the distance between the Earth and the Sun can be calculated using

distance = speed X time.

However, most of these means have to be corrected for parallax errors

Alenkinab [10]
To stop the car it would be 100m because if the car is going to 65km/h then it would still be 100km/h

Unpolarized light with intensity S is incident on a series of polarizing sheets. The first sheet has its transmission axis orien
jeka94

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Initial Intensity of light is S

when an un-polarized light is Passed through a Polarizer then its intensity reduced to half.

When it is passed through a second Polarizer with its transmission axis \theat =45^{\circ}

S_1=S_0\cos ^2\theta

here S_0=\frac{S}{2}

S_1=\frac{S}{2}\times \frac{1}{(\sqrt{2})^2}

S_1=\frac{S}{4}

When it is passed through third Polarizer with its axis 90^{\circ} to first but \theta =45^{\circ} to second thus S_2

S_2=S_0\cos ^2\theta

S_2=\frac{S}{4}\times \frac{1}{2}

S_2=\frac{S}{8}

When middle sheet is absent then Final Intensity will be zero
