Tide Resource

Within a single day, each part of the earth will experience 2 high and 2 low tides. The amount of time between a high and a low tide is 6 hours. While the amount of time between a high tide and another high tide is about 12 hours. The amount of time between a low tide and another low tide is also 12 hours. Now one may be wondering what causes the difference in the force felt by opposite sides of the earth. The cause of the difference in force felt by opposite sides of the earth is the diameter of the earth. The moon is closer to side A (the near side) than side B (the far side). Since force is inversely proportional to distance squared, side A will have a greater force than side B. The difference in force is important in creating tidal bulges because without it the amount of force between the center of earth to side A and the center to side B would be unequal. The unequal amount of force would result in the water rushing to one side of the earth. Thankfully we have tides, in fact, we have what are called spring and neap tides. Spring tides occur when the moon is aligned with the sun and the earth. During this time, the moon is in either a full or new moon phase. When the moon is full or new, the high tides are higher than normal and the low tides are lower than normal. All of this stands in contrast to the neap tides. Neap tides occur when the moon is misaligned with the moon and the earth, usually located at the top or bottom of the planet. During neap tides, the moon is in the half moon phase. This causes high tides to be lower than normal and the low tides to be higher than normal.

Tide at time of post: Low tide 

Type of tide Daytona beach is experiencing: Neap tide 

How I know the type of tide Daytona beach is experiencing: The moon is a half moon meaning it is neap tide because neap tides occur when the moon is a half moon. 

Newton's 3rd Law

Newton's 3rd Law states that, "for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction." In the video, I learned that when the force of gravity is pulling down on you, you are simultaniously pulling up on the force of gravity. I also learned that in an action reaction pair, the forces will always be equal. However, if the larger the mass of the object, the smaller the acceleration of that object will be. Therefore, if the acceleration of the the object is larger, the mass will then be smaller. To demonstrate this he showed a person who's mass was 50 Kg, in deep space, pushing on a basketball who's mass was 1 kg. Then using the formula F=ma, which is Newton's second law, he gets the acceleration of the object. Now, Newton's Second Law states that," acceleration is directly proportional to force and acceleration is inversely proportional to mass. In Formula form that looks like a=F/m or f=ma. That is why the acceleration of the person was 1/5 m/s^2 while the acceleration of the basketball was 10m/s^2.
