Front

What happens to kinetic energy as the speed of an object increases?

Back

The kinetic energy increases.

Front

What two factors does kinetic energy depend on?

Back

Kinetic energy depends on speed and mass.

Front

What celestial body does the Earth revolve around?

Back

The Earth revolves around the Sun.

Front

What are spring tides?

Back

Spring tides are the strongest tides.

Front

What is the main cause of tides?

Back

The main cause of tides is the gravitational attraction between the Earth and the Moon.

Front

Define kinetic energy.

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion.

Front

What is the formula for calculating kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy (KE) = 1/2 * mass (m) * velocity (v)^2.

Front

How often do tides occur in a typical day?

Back

Tides follow a pattern of two high and two low tides every 24 hours.

Front

What is the difference between spring tides and neap tides?

Back

Spring tides are stronger and occur during full and new moons, while neap tides are weaker and occur during the first and third quarters of the moon.

Front

What role does the Moon play in the Earth's tides?

Back

The Moon's gravitational pull is the primary force causing tides on Earth.
