• Robert Hooke

What are spring tides?

• Highest and lowest tides during new moon and full moon phases

• Tides that occur during the day and night.

• Tides that are caused by the gravitational pull of the sun.

• Tides that occur only during the spring season.

When do spring tides occur?

• During the waxing crescent and waning crescent phases.

• During the first quarter and third quarter phases.

• During new moon and full moon phases.

• During the waxing gibbous and waning gibbous phases.

What are neap tides?

• Neap tides are the tides with the least difference between high and low tides.

• Neap tides occur during a full moon.

• Neap tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon.

• Neap tides are the tides with the highest difference between high and low tides.

When do neap tides occur?

• During the waxing crescent moon phase.

• During the first and third quarter moon phases.

• During the new moon phase.

• During the full moon phase.

How are spring tides different from neap tides?

• Spring tides occur when the Sun, Moon, and Earth are aligned, while neap tides occur when the Sun, Moon, and Earth form a right angle.

• Spring tides occur during the day, while neap tides occur during the night.

• Spring tides occur when the Moon is in its first quarter, while neap tides occur when the Moon is in its third quarter.

• Spring tides occur when the Moon is closest to the Earth, while neap tides occur when the Moon is farthest from the Earth.

What factors affect the strength of the gravitational force between two objects?

• Color and shape.

• Density and velocity.

• Mass and distance

• Temperature and pressure.

How does the distance between two objects affect the gravitational force between them?

• The gravitational force between two objects is not affected by the distance between them.

• The gravitational force between two objects decreases as the distance between them increases.

• The gravitational force between two objects remains constant regardless of the distance between them.

• The gravitational force between two objects increases as the distance between them increases.
