Which Moon position in the lunar cycle would provide the largest difference in ocean tides?

1 answer:

5 0

The greatest difference between high and low tide is around New Moon and Full Moon. During these Moon phases, the solar tide coincides with the lunar tide because the Sun and the Moon are aligned with Earth, and their gravitational forces combine to pull the ocean's water in the same direction.

Your answer is B Full moon

The membrane that surrounds a certain type of living cell has a surface area of 5.1 x 10-9 m2 and a thickness of 1.4 x 10-8 m.

ziro4ka [17]

a) The charge on the outer surface is $1.2\cdot 10^{-12} C$

b) The number of ions is $7.5\cdot 10^6$

Explanation:

The membrane behaves as a parallel plate capacitor, whose capacity is given by the equation

$C=\frac{k\epsilon_0 A}{d}$

where

k = 4.3 is the dielectric constant

$\epsilon_0 =8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m$ is the vacuum permittivity

$A=5.1\cdot 10^{-9} m^2$ is the surface area

$d=1.4\cdot 10^{-8} m$ is the distance between the two plates

Substituting,

$C=\frac{(4.3)(8.85\cdot 10^{-12})(5.1\cdot 10^{-9})}{1.4\cdot 10^{-8}}=1.4\cdot 10^{-11} F$

The capacity of the membrane is related to the potential difference between the two surfaces by

$C=\frac{Q}{\Delta V}$

where here we have

Q = excess charge on one surface

$\Delta V = 85.5 mV = 0.0855 V$ is the potential difference between the two surfaces

Solving for Q, we find

$Q=C\Delta V=(1.4\cdot 10^{-11})(0.0855)=1.2\cdot 10^{-12} C$

We said that the net charge on the outer surface is

$Q=1.2\cdot 10^{-12} C$

The charge of one K+ ions is equal to the electron charge

$+e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C$

Therefore, the number of ions on the outer surface can be found by dividing the total charge by the charge of a single ion:

$N=\frac{Q}{e}=\frac{1.2\cdot 10^{-12}}{1.6\cdot 10^{-19}}=7.5\cdot 10^6$

A bungee jumper with mass 65.0 kg jumps from a high bridge. After reaching his lowest point, he oscillates up and down, hitting

ololo11 [35]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of a bungee jumper is 65 kg

The time period of the oscillation is 38 s, hitting a low point eight more times.It means its time period is

$T=\dfrac{38}{8}\\\\T=4.75\ s$

After many oscillations, he finally comes to rest 25.0 m below the level of the bridge.

For an oscillating object, the time period is given by :

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}$

k = spring stiffness constant

So,

$k=\dfrac{4\pi ^2m}{T^2}\\\\k=\dfrac{4\pi ^2\times 65}{(4.75)^2}\\\\k=113.43\ N/m$

When the cord is in air,

mg=kx

x = the extension in the cord

$x=\dfrac{mg}{k}\\\\x=\dfrac{65\times 9.8}{113.6}\\\\x=5.6\ m$

So, the unstretched length of the bungee cord is equal to 25 m - 5.6 m = 19.4 m
