Answer:

The ocean tides on earth are caused by both the moon's gravity and the sun's gravity. ... Even though the sun is much more massive and therefore has stronger overall gravity than the moon, the moon is closer to the earth so that its gravitational gradient is stronger than that of the sun.

Why is water always used in energy generation (water -> steam -> turbine) instead of a liquid with a lower specific heat c

frez [133]

There are multiple reasons for this. First of all, water is available in almost every place on the Earth. It doesn't pollute the air, doesn't cause health use and is easily handle.

Other factor is the fact that water has a really high specific heat. This means that water, and more specifically steam, can aborb and transport more energy. A lower heat capacity would imply the need to boil more of the liquid to obtain the same amount of energy. This combine with the fact that water expands at a large rate when boiling, combine with everything mentioned previously, and you get a liquid with all the characteristics that a efficient turbine requires to work.

A diode vacuum tube consists of a cathode and an anode spaced 5-mm apart. If 300 V are applied across the plates. What is the ve

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

Explanation:

There is electric field between the plates whose value is given by the following expression

electric field E = V /d where V is potential between the plates and d is distance between them

E = 300 / 5 x 10⁻³

= 60 x 10³ N/c

Force on electron = q E where q is charge on the electron

F = 1.6 X 10⁻¹⁹ X 60 X 10³ = 96 X 10⁻¹⁶ N.
