How does the moon control water?
the Earth is spinning on an axis at 1000mph or so in spacetime. The Moons gravity is trying to pull the water off the earth towards it, this movement and the push pull creates waves and tides on the seas on earth.
What does the gravitational effect on the moon got to do with the rise and fall of the sea?
It is not the gravitional effect ON the moon, but the gravitional effect OF the moon. The moon pulls on the earth, just as the earth pulls on the moon. The pull of the moon causes water to be drawn towards the moon, and forms a "bump" in the level of water. As the earth rotates below the water, the raised part of the water has the effect of making the water get deeper, then shallower. Those are the tides.
Is gravity the most powerful force on earth?
No. Water is the most powerful thing on planet Earth. Not God, love, your soul, gravity, inertia..etc. Quite simply and scientifically the most powerful force on Earth is WATER.
Does gravity cause earths land water and atmosphere to bulge slightly towards the moon?
The moons orbit causes the water to do this. The gravitational pull of the moon causes the water to be pushed and pulled
Does gravity causes Earth's land water and atmosphere to bulge slighty toward the moon?
True
What force causes the earth's water to shift and create tides?
Primarily, the effects of gravity between the earth and the moon.
Name the two forces acting on a floating boat?
1) FORCE EXERTED BY THE BODY TOWARDS EARTH {WEIGHT} 2) FORCE EXERTED BY WATER ON THE BODY [DUE TO DISPLACED WATER] NOTE:- HERE THERE WILL BE NO VISCOUS FORCE
What causes currents to move in curved paths instead of straight lines?
Earth's rotation causes the water to move in a curve; this is a manifestation of The Coriolis force.
Why does water flow downward?
Gravity Gravity is the force that pulls everything downwards towards the centre of the earth. There are no scientific explanations to why and how this force works - it's God's perfect design.
What causes the attration between water molecules?
The force of gravity; not the attraction of the Earth for all matter on it, but the same force that attracts all matter to all other matter.
Why does it go from low tide to high tide?
Because of the earth, moon, and sun rotating and causing the gravitational force to pull the water towards the moon.
What causes a lawn sprinkler to rotate?
The water accelerates as it moves through the pipe towards the nozzle, newton's 2nd law F=ma means that this water produces a force, newton's 3rd law then states every force produces an equal and opposite force. As this water produces a force, an equal and opposite force is produced. A force acts on the sprinkler opposite to the flow of motion of the water. This causes a torque, T=FR on the sprinkler causing it to spin. Where F is the force produced and R is the distance of the sprinkler arm. The sprinkler does not require electricity to move
What force causes water to go down the drain?
gravity force
What is the primary force or thing that moves water around the earth?
Water temperature is the primary force. Then the earth's rotation and the tides.
How does the water not fall from the earth if the earth is round?
The force of gravity pulls objects towards the center of the Earth, keeping the water (and everything else) in place. The Earth's gravity is strong enough to hold down the water even when the Earth is round. The curvature of the Earth's surface also helps to keep the water contained within its oceans, lakes, and rivers.
How does the moon control water?
the Earth is spinning on an axis at 1000mph or so in spacetime. The Moons gravity is trying to pull the water off the earth towards it, this movement and the push pull creates waves and tides on the seas on earth.
What is the force that causes a marble to sink in water?
Gravity Gravity Density of the marble stone being greater than water causes it to sink by gravitational force.
