allsm [11]

Answer:

Looks like you have:

a = -.324 cos 2.5 t

In this case   ω^2 A = .324

ω = 2.5

f = ω / (2 * pi) = 2.5 / 6.28 = .40 / sec

During which phase of the moon do neap tides occur?
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

First Quarter and Third Quarter.

Explanation:

Tides are formed as a consequence of the differentiation of gravity due to the Moon across to the Earth sphere.

Since gravity variates with the distance:

F = G\frac{m1\cdot m2}{r^{2}} (1)

Where m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects that are interacting and r is the distance between them.

For example, seeing the image below, point A is closer to the Moon than point b, and at the same time the center of mass of the Earth will feel more attracted to the Moon than point B. Therefore, that creates a tidal bulge in point A and point B.

When the Sun and the Moon are alight with respect to the Earth, then the Sun tidal force contributes to the tidal force of the Moon over the Earth. That makes the high tides even higher (spring tides).

               

However, when the Sun is not in the same line than the Moon (the Moon is at 90° with respect to the Sun), then the low tides are higher and the high tides are lower. That scenario is known as neap tides.

           

Therefore, that happens when the Moon is at First Quarter and Third Quarter.

A diffraction grating has 500 slits/mm. What is the longest wavelength of light for which there will be a third-order maximum?
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

The longest wavelength of light  is 666.7 nm

Explanation:

The general form of the grating equation is

mλ = d(sinθi + sinθr)

where;

m is third-order maximum = 3

λ is the wavelength,

d is the slit spacing (m/slit)

θi  is the incident angle

θr is the diffracted angle

Note: at longest wavelength, sinθi + sinθr = 1

λ = d/m

d = 1/500 slits/mm

λ = 1 mm/(500 *3) = 1mm/1500 = 666.7 X 10⁻⁶ mm = 666.7 nm

Therefore, the longest wavelength of light  is 666.7 nm

Here

x  is measured in miles and  t  in hours.

(a) To find the distance the jogger has run in 1 hr, we set t=1 in equation (2),

     we have to eliminate x from the equation (1) using equation (2).  

     Eliminating x we get:
