even though the sun is so much bigger than the moon, why does the moon have a stronger effect on tides?

Answer:

the moon is closer to the earth so that its gravitational gradient is stronger than that of the sun.

An ideal parallel-plate capacitor consists of a set of two parallel plates of area A separated by a very small distance d. When
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

2dQ²/2εA = 2U₀

Explanation:

The energy stored in the ideal parallel plate capacitor U = Q²/2C. For a parallel plate capacitor, C = εA/d where A is the area between the plates and D is the distance between them. So

U = Q²/2C = Q²/2εA/d = dQ²/2εA. At distance d₁ = d, U = U₀,

U₀ = dQ²/2εA,

When d₂ = 2d, U₁ = d₂Q²/2εA = 2dQ²/2εA = 2U₀

Which phenomenon occurs when a wave encounters a non–transmitting barrier
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

Absorption

Explanation:

A non-transmitting barrier would not allow a wave to go through. When a wave is unable to pass through a barrier, it is not transmitted and can get absorbed or reflected back. The wave can also try to go round the barrier.

Most likely, the wave gets absorbed by the barrier and it stops it.

A tradesman sharpens a knife by pushing it with a constant force against the rim of a grindstone. The 30-cm-diameter stone is sp
Lorico [155]

Answer:

a. 0.21 rad/s2

b. 2.205 N

Explanation:

We convert from rpm to rad/s knowing that each revolution has 2π radians and each minute is 60 seconds

200 rpm = 200 * 2π / 60 = 21 rad/s

180 rpm = 180 * 2π / 60 = 18.85 rad/s

r = d/2 = 30cm / 2 = 15 cm = 0.15 m

a)So if the angular speed decreases steadily (at a constant rate) from 21 rad/s to 18.85 rad/s within 10s then the angular acceleration is

\alpha = \frac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t} = \frac{21 - 18.85}{10} = 0.21 rad/s^2

b) Assume the grind stone is a solid disk, its moment of inertia is

I = mR^2/2

Where m = 28 kg is the disk mass and R = 0.15 m is the radius of the disk.

I = 28*0.15^2/2 = 0.315 kgm^2

So the friction torque is

T_f = I\alpha = 0.315*0.21 = 0.06615 Nm

The friction force is

F_f = T_f/R = 0.06615 / 0.15 = 0.441 N

Since the friction coefficient is 0.2, we can calculate the normal force that is used to press the knife against the stone

N = F_f/\mu = 0.441/0.2 = 2.205 N
