The Moon passes over a particular spot approximately every 23 hours and 10 minutes. A full cycle of tides happens TWICE in one of these lunar cycles.

Gravitational potential energy.


What is the gravitational force on any object near the earths surface?

Force (newtons) = mass (kg) * acceleration (m/s/s) > Acceleration at earths surface radius = 9.82 m/s/s


Is it true that tides are created by the difference between the gravitational force at Earths surface and at Earths center?

Yes, that's basically what causes tides. ===================== And the moon. Lets not forget its role.


Where do you experience more gravity on earths surface or earths center?

on the surfaceNote:Since the earth's composition is not homogeneous, the gravitational acceleration onthe surface is probably less than what it is some small distance below the surface,but it's certainly greater than at the center.


Why can you only see one side of the moon from the earths surface?

because of the earth and moon's magnetic field and gravitational pull


Why is the gravitational potential energy of an objects 1 meter above the moons surface less than its potential energy 1 meter above Earths surface?

because the value of gravitational force of earth is greater than that of moon.


Where is Earths gravitational field strongest?

Earth's gravitational field is strongest at the surface, near the poles. This is because gravity is directly related to the mass of an object and is strongest closer to the center of the Earth.

What is the gravitation pull on Ceres the Dwarf Planet?

The gravitational pull on Ceres, the largest asteroid in the asteroid belt and classified as a dwarf planet, is much weaker than Earth's. Ceres has a gravitational acceleration of about 0.28 m/s² at its surface, which is about 6% of Earth's gravitational acceleration.


Where in the Earth would you weigh the most 5km above the surface of the Earth 5km below the surface of the Earth at the center of the Earth on the Earths surface?

You would weigh the most on the surface, where the most gravitational energy is below you.As you enter the Earth, gravitational force is also exerted from the mass above, meaning that when you reach the center, the gravitational force will be equal from all directions, leaving you weightless.As you depart the surface of the Earth, you will lose weight as the gravitational force weakens with distance.
