Analyze How would tides be affected if the
Moon was farther away from Earth?


Sagot :

Answer: The farther away the moon is from earth the lower the tides would be.

Explanation: Because of the moons close proximity to Earth its gravity pulls up on water which causes the high and low tides, therefore if the moon is farther away its effect would be lessened.

Answer:

Explanation:

Newton's law of gravity says that the attractive gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of distance between two objects.

Earth tidal force is due to gravity pull from the Moon. That is why tides follow a monthly cycle according to the position of the Moon. If the Moon was farther away from Earth, tidal waves will be reduced.
