Well if the moon moves a bit the earth and tide pulls with it and if the sun moon and earth are all in the same position as in a spring tide it causes the tides to go really big.

What provide the force that produce centripital acceleration in orbit?
The gravitation of the central body. For example, for the Moon moving around the Earth, the centripetal force is the gravity between Earth and Moon.
What is the moon's gravitational pull relative to the earth's gravitational pull the moon?
The force of gravitation attracting the earth and moon toward each other is exactly the same force on both bodies.Just as the force of gravitation that attracts you toward the earth is exactly the same as the force that attractsthe earth toward you.
What are the Uses of gravitation?
Gravitation force makes the Earth move around the sun and also makes the moon go around the Earth. Our weight is the gravitational force of the Earth acting on us. For example; the gravitational force of the moon is about one-sixth that of the Earth.
What keeps the moon ins orbit around earth?
That's the mutual force of gravitation (gravity) between the Earth and the Moon. This, combined with the Moon's velocity (its inertia), results in the orbital path that the Moon follows.
What does force have to do with the moon orbiting the earth?
Force? As in The Force from Star Wars? Or a gravitation force? Care to explain?
Why do you weigh more on the earth than on the moon?
Because the force of gravitation is very different !
What is Gravitational force between earth and moon if the moon moves twice the distance away from earth?
The mutual force of gravitation between two masses is inversely proportional to the squareof the distance between their centers.So, when the distance between any two masses doubles, the gravitational force between themdecreases by a factor of 4 . . . it drops to 25%of its original value.
What are the uses of gravitational force?
Gravitation force makes the Earth move around the sun and also makes the moon go around the Earth. Our weight is the gravitational force of the Earth acting on us. For example; the gravitational force of the moon is about one-sixth that of the Earth.
What force keeps the moon in orbits around earth?
The force of gravity does. It's really the only force available.
Draw a free body diagram for the moon?
If you mean the Moon's movement around the Earth, the Earth's gravitation pulls the Moon towards the Earth. There is no opposing force that acts on the Moon (otherwise, the Moon wouldn't accelerate towards the Earth, i.e., change its direction).
Is the moons or the earths gravitational force stronger or weaker?
The Earth's gravitation force is greater than the Moon, which keeps the Moon in orbit round the Earth.
What does the moon do with the water?
The moon's gravitation forcecauses the waves and other water to be affected. That's how we get the tides and such--from the push and pull of the moon's gravitation force.
