TIDAL SIMULATOR

1. Earth-Sun has greater gravitational pull than Earth-Moon.
2. Earth-Moon has greater tidal effect than Earth-Sun.
3. Moon had more of an effect because of (d) the two objects being close together is more important than having a strength of gravitational force.

TIDE LEVEL

The tides change as you go through various days and months, and the moon also changes. As a result, the levels of the tides varies accordingly.

GRAVITATIONAL FORCE
1. Gravitational force was greater at A because A is closer to the moon that point E.
2. The earth doesn't move towards the sun because of tangential velocity.
3. The radius has a big impact on gravitational force changing because it is the divisor and is a huge factor in the equation.
4. If the moon increases in mass, gravitational attraction and speed of the moon would increase.
5. If the earth decreases in mass, gravitational attraction and speed of the moon would decrease.
