Where in the ocean can you see the gravitational pull of the moon and the ocean like a dent in the ocean being pushed by gravity or maybe its being lifted upwards and is visible?

The most obvious effect of the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun, is the tides visible on beaches.

Why do people need tidal power?
Because a vast amount of water is lifted up as the moon passes and its gravitational influence is felt. Trap this water, wait for the surrounding water to fall and you have the basis for a hydroelectric plant.
Which gains more gravitational potential energy a 4 N object lifted 3.0 m or a 5 N object lifted 2.0 m?
Let's see. First.....,F = mam = F/am = 4 N/9.8 m/s2= 0.408 kilograms----------------------m = 5 N/9.8 m/s2= 0.510 kilograms-----------------------------secondly......,PE = mghPE = (0.408 kg)(9.8 m/s2)(3.0 meters)= 11.99 Joules==============A 4 Newton object lifted 3 meters gains more potential energy.
What is the potential energy of a 29-N sledge hammer lifted to a height of 1.4 m?
Two parts.Force = mass * acceleration29 N = mass * 9.8 m/s2mass = 2.959 kilograms===================now,PE = mass * gravitational acceleration * heightPE = (2.959 kg)(9.8 m/s2)(1.4 m)= 41 Joules=========
What is orographic rainfall and how does they occur?
Orographic rainfall is when a parcel of air containing water vapor gets to a mountain, it is then forced upwards (the mountain blocking its way). As the parcel of air is forced upwards, it expands (adiabatic expansion) and also cools. As it cools, it becomes saturated because the amount of water it can hold decreases, so the water vapor begins to condense and finally falls as rain.
What is a sentence for muscular?
The muscular boy lifted the heavy box with ease.
What is the work needed to lift a box vertically?
The work to lift a load vertically is equal to the gravitational potential energythat the load acquires by being lifted to a higher elevation. The number is(mass of the load) x (acceleration of gravity) x (distance lifted)
Does the earth float in space or is sitting on something?
The Earth is not floating in space; it is actually orbiting the Sun due to gravitational forces. It is not sitting on anything specific but is instead held in its orbit by the gravitational pull of the Sun.
The energy that is given to an object that is lifted?
Potential energy is the energy of location. Gravitational potential energy is given by lifting an object, and is defined by the equation Ep = mgh, or mass * acceleration due to gravity * height.
What is the term for the force of gravity on an object that needs to be lifted?
This is usually called its weight.
What is gravitational energy due to?
The energy stored in an object in a higher position came from whatever lifted it up.
What is an object that has gravitational potential energy?
Any object with mass that's been lifted above the reference level (usually taken to be ground level) has gravitational potential energy with respect to the reference level. The formula is PE = mgh. m = the object's mass g = the local acceleration of gravity h = height of the object above the reference level
What energy does a train have climbing up a hill at a steady speed?
The train is expending mechanical energy to be lifted higher in the earth's gravity well. As it is lifted higher, it is collecting and storing potential energy because of the fact that it is in that gravity well.
What would happen if their is no gravity?
If there was no gravity your eyes might have the chance of your being pulled out of your head if not the proper gear is with you also would be lifted from the ground because you will not have the gravity to hold you down
Does the force of gravity effect the lifted object?
The question seems, well, awkward. But I will attempt it. If you are asking if gravity still has an effect on a lifted object, than yes. This is why that object will fall to the ground when dropped or from the object lifting it. Gravity always has an attractive force on every object in the universe. Any 2 objects that contain matter attract each other. You are attracted to your computer. Now, why doesn't the computer fly towards you? This is because gravity's effect is very, very weak. The more mass an object has, and the closer that object is, the more gravity has an effect. That is why it takes objects the size of moons, planets, and stars to have a noticeable effect on other objects. Gravitational pull on Earth: 9.8 Newtons Gravity of Earth's moon: 1.6 Newtons
What is gravity potential energy?
When an object is lifted from the ground, it has potential energy because of it's position.
How much energy is needed for an object to be lifted upwards assuming frictionless and a)the object is 1000g height to be lifted 1m and b) the object is 140g and height to be lifted 5cm?
To get proper SI units, you need to convert the grams to kilograms, and cm to meters. Reminder: To convert grams to kilograms you divide by 1000; to convert centimeters to meters you divide by 100.After that, simply calculate the gravitational potential energy with the formula:GPE = mgh (mass x gravity x height). Close to Earth's surface, gravity is about 9.8 newton/kilogram. The answer will be in joules.
How were forces and energy were involved in the building of the huddlestone arch?
Huddlestone Arch was built using the principles of compression and tension forces, where the stones were arranged in an arch to distribute the load and transfer it downwards. The potential energy of the stones was converted to kinetic energy during construction, as they were lifted and put into place. Gravitational potential energy played a role as stones were lifted against gravity, and this energy was released once the stones were in place, holding up the arch.
