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

It is believed that the Incas used anesthesia. Evidence supports the theory that shamans chewed cocoa leaves and drilled holes into the heads of patients (letting evil spirits escape), spitting into the wounds they made. The mixture of cocaine, saliva, and resin numbed the site enough to allow hours of drilling.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has released reports detailing the deaths of infants (younger than 1 year of age) who died after being given cold and cough medications. This underscores the importance of educating parents that children younger than 2 years of age should never be given over-the-counter cold and cough medications without consulting their physicians.

Before a vaccine is licensed in the USA, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reviews it for safety and effectiveness. The CDC then reviews all studies again, as well as the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Family Physicians. Every lot of vaccine is tested before administration to the public, and the FDA regularly inspects vaccine manufacturers' facilities.

Acute bronchitis is an inflammation of the breathing tubes (bronchi), which causes increased mucus production and other changes. It is usually caused by bacteria or viruses, can be serious in people who have pulmonary or cardiac diseases, and can lead to pneumonia.
