There is the more role of the moon than the sun to occur tides in the oceans,why?

Physics
1 answer:
Nana76 [90]2 years ago
8 0

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.

An elevator car has a mass of 750 kg, and its three passengers have a combined mass of 135 kg. If the elevator and its passenger
joja [24]

Answer:

The change in gravitational potential energy is -1.80x10⁵ J.

Explanation:

The change in gravitational potential energy is given by:

\Delta E_{p} = E_{p_{f}} - E_{p_{i}}

\Delta E_{p} = mgh_{f} - mgh_{i}

Where:

"i" is for final and "f" for final

m: is the mass

g: is the gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h: is the height

For the car and the passengers we have:

\Delta E_{p} = m_{T}g(h_{f} - h_{i}) = (750 kg + 135 kg)9.81 m/s^{2}(0 - 20.7 m) = -1.80 \cdot 10^{5} J      

The minus sign is because when the elevator car and the passengers are up they have a bigger gravitational potential energy than when they are in the ground.

Therefore, the change in gravitational potential energy is -1.80x10⁵ J.

I hope it helps you!

A disc with a mass of 1 kg moves horizontally to the right with a speed of 7 m/s on a table with negligible friction when it col
Elodia [21]

Answer:

1.6 m/s

Explanation:

First you need to find the momentums of each disc by multiplying their velocities with mass.

disc 1: 7*1= 7 kg m/s

disc 2: 1*9= 9 kg m/s

Second, you need to find the total momentum of the system by adding the momentums of each sphere.

9+7= 16 kg m/s

Because momentum is conserved, this is equal to the momentum of the composite body.

Finally, to find the composite body's velocity, divide its total momentum by its mass. This is because mass*velocity=momentum

16/10=1.6

The velocity of the composite body is 1.6 m/s.

A professor's office door is 0.91 m wide, 2.0 m high, and 4.0 cm thick; has a mass of 25 kg; and pivots on frictionless hinges.
olasank [31]

Answer:

F= 5.71 N

Explanation:

width of door= 0.91 m

door closer torque on door= 5.2 Nm

In order to hold the door in open position we need to exert an equal and opposite torque, to the door closer torque, on the door.

so wee need to exert 5.2 Nm torque on the door.

If we want to apply minimum force to exert the required torque we need to apply force perpendicularly on the door knob (end of door) so that to to greater moment arm.

T= r x F

T= r F sin∅

F= T/ (r * sin∅)

F= 5.2/ (0.91 * 1)

F= 5.71 N

A 0.5-kilogram apple falls from a height of 2 meters to 1.50 meters. Ignoring frictional effects, what is the kinetic energy of
spin [16.1K]

The  final kinetic energy of the ball is 2.45 J

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of energy.

In absence of frictional effect, the mechanical energy of the apple must be conserved during the fall. So we can write:

U_i +K_i = U_f + K_f

where :

U_i is the initial potential energy, at the top

K_i is the initial kinetic energy, at the top

U_f is the final potential energy, at the bottom

K_f is the final kinetic energy, at the bottom

By explicing the potential energy, we can rewrite the equation as:

mgh_i + K_i = mgh_f + K_f

where:

m = 0.5 kg is the mass of the apple

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

h_i = 2 m is the initial height

h_f=1.50 m is the final height

The initial kinetic energy is zero, since the ball starts from rest:

K_i = 0

Therefore we can solve the equation for K_f, the final kinetic energy of the ball:

K_f = mg(h_i-h_f)=(0.5)(9.8)(2-1.50)=2.45 J
