Tides are periodic changes in sea level that are produced by the forces of gravitational attraction of the Sun and the Moon with respect to the Earth. This phenomenon involves the movement of huge masses of water across the surface of our planet, being attracted by the stars that surround us. The force of attraction of the Moon is between 2 and 3 times greater than that of the Sun, due to the proximity of the satellite. According to this, which of the following is correct regarding the tides? a) The tides do not depend on the position of the Moon with respect to the Sun.
b) The variation of the tides is due to movements between the planets with the Earth
c) The rising tide occurs mainly when the Sun, the Earth and the Moon are in the same line of action
d) The Sun generates a gravitational attraction greater than the Moon and therefore generates high tides on Earth.

Assume that a person skiing high in the mountains at an altitude of h = 15100 ft takes in the same volume of air with each breath as she does while walking at sea level. determine the ratio of the mass of oxygen inhaled for each breath at this high altitude compared to that at sea level. assume that the air composition (i.e. % of air that is oxygen) is the same at sea level as it is at 15100 ft.

Abag of potato chips contains 2.00 l of air when it is sealed at sea level at a pressure of 1.00 atm and a temperature of 20.0 deg c. what will be the volume of the air in the bag if you take it with you, still sealed, to the mountains where the temperature is 7.00 deg c and atmospheric pressure is 70.0 kpa? assume that the bag behaves like a balloon and that the air in the bag is in thermal equilibrium with the outside air.

Two manned satellites approaching one another at a relative speed of 0.550 m/s intend to dock. the first has a mass of 2.50 ✕ 103 kg, and the second a mass of 7.50 ✕ 103 kg. assume that the positive direction is directed from the second satellite towards the first satellite. (a) calculate the final velocity after docking, in the frame of reference in which the first satellite was originally at rest.(b) what is the loss of kinetic energy in this inelastic collision? (c) repeat both parts, in the frame of reference in which the second satellite was originally at rest. final velocity(d) loss of kinetic energy = ?
