Newton's knew his equilibrium theory of tides was incomplete because the maximum theoretical range
  was significantly lower than actual tidal ranges. What will be an ideal response?



Question 2

Tides are capable of slowing the Earths rotation by the following force:a.
   Tidal friction
  b. Gravitational forces
  c. Resonance
  d. Centrifugal forces

Answer to Question 1

ANS: T
Lunar tidal range had a maximum theoretical range of 55 centimeter. The solar tidal range had an even
smaller yield of a 24 centimeter range. These are both considerably smaller than the 2 meter tidal range
that is observed on Earth. Information can be found in the section The Dynamic Theory of Tides Adds
Fluid Motion Dynamics to the Equilibrium.



Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The daily rise and fall of the tides consumes a large amount of energy and this is ultimately dissipated
as heat. Most of this energy comes from the rotation of the Earth itself, and tidal friction is gradually
slowing the Earths rotation by a few hundredths of a second per century. Information can be found in
the section Tidal Friction Slows the Earths Rotation

Hypertension is a silent killer because it is deadly and has no significant early symptoms. The danger from hypertension is the extra load on the heart, which can lead to hypertensive heart disease and kidney damage. This occurs without any major symptoms until the high blood pressure becomes extreme. Regular blood pressure checks are an important method of catching hypertension before it can kill you.

A serious new warning has been established for pregnant women against taking ACE inhibitors during pregnancy. In the study, the risk of major birth defects in children whose mothers took ACE inhibitors during the first trimester was nearly three times higher than in children whose mothers didn't take ACE inhibitors. Physicians can prescribe alternative medications for pregnant women who have symptoms of high blood pressure.
