Well there are three (don't forget the Earth!) the other two are the Sun and the Moon.
Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the sun and the moon upon the oceans of the world. It matters not what phase the moon is in. It's gravitational pull is always the same. What matters is where it is in it's orbit of the earth. The tides are lowest when the sun and moon are on the opposite side of the earth, and are highest when the 2 are on the same side.
According to newtons formula; force F=G*m1*m2/(r^2) ,for 2 bodies facing each others gravitational pull When divided both sides by m1,so gravitational acceleration g=m2*g/(r^2) so g is directly proportional to mass of the body....
The strength of the gravitational attraction between the Sun and the Earth is proportional to each of their masses and inversely proportional to their distance from each other. The equation for universal gravitation is ... F = G (Mm/r2) ... where F is the force in newtons, G is the universal gravitational constant 6.674 x 10-11 N m2 kg-2, M and m are the masses of the two objects, and r is the distance in kilometers between them. For the most part, the enormous mass of the Sun most affects the gravity between the Sun and the Earth.
> Low Tide ◘ High Tide § Spring Tide ► Neap TideThere are several different kinds of tides. There is ebb tide, when the tide goes out, flood tide is when the tide comes in. There is also neap tides, spring tides, diurnal tides.
When the sun and the moon are aligned in one axis pulling straight from earth.
Gravitational Force = Gravitational Constant x mass of the first object x mass of the second object / distance squared. So what affects the magnitude is the masses of the objects and the distance between them. Gravitational Constant = 6.672 x 10^-11 N x m^2/kg^2 Both masses, and the distance between them.
The gravitational potential energy between two bodies m and M, is E= - GmM/r^2.
If the mass of each body is halved, the gravitational force between them will also be halved. This is because the gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the two bodies. Therefore, reducing the mass of each body by half will result in a reduction of the gravitational force by half as well.
The gravitational force between two bodies is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Therefore, if the distance is reduced to 0.1 meter (1/10 of the original distance), the gravitational force will increase by a factor of 100 (10^2). This means the gravitational force will be 100 times stronger when the bodies are brought 0.1 meter apart.
The force of gravitational attraction between any two bodies, F, is given by the equation:F = G*M1*M2/r2 where M1 and M2 are the masses of the two bodies, r is the distance between their centres of mass and G is the universal gravitational constant.
During high tide, there are two bulges because of the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on the Earth's water. This causes the water to rise in two areas on opposite sides of the Earth, creating the two bulges.
Gravitational Force = Gravitational Constant x mass of the first object x mass of the second object / distance squared. So what affects the magnitude is the masses of the objects and the distance between them. Gravitational Constant = 6.672 x 10^-11 N x m^2/kg^2 Both masses, and the distance between them.
For Newtonian gravity, observe that the force (F) between two bodies is a function of only the mass of the bodies and distance between the center of mass of those bodies. F = (G*m1*m2)/r^2; where, G = Gravitational constant, m1 = mass of one body, m2 = mass of second body, r = distance between bodies. It is directly proportional to the mass of the bodies and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Thus, the methods of increasing the magnitude of the force are to increase the mass of either or both of the bodies or decrease the distance between the bodies. Reducing the force can be accomplished by doing the opposite: decreasing mass or increasing distance.
twice in a 24 hour period. the moon controls the tides, so high tide is when the moons gravitational pull is centered on the area. the second time is when the moons gravitational pull is on the exact opposite side of the earth.
It increases by 200% if the distance between the two bodies center of gravities remains the same. Consider bodies of mass 1 & 1 and then mass 1 & 3. the formers sum is 2, the latters sum is 4.
mass and distance from one another; G=m1*m2/d^2
Rise of tides occur approximately twice a day, every 12 hours and 25 minutes. This is due to the gravitational forces between the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun influencing the water levels in the oceans.
