  • This video explains why the oceans experience two high tides and two low tides each day? Find out in this video. For the Sun's effect on tides see • Space Science Tutorial... .
    The oceans on the earth's surface are attracted to the moon through the effects of gravity. Because the strength of the gravitational attractions depend on the separation distance of objects, the oceans on both sides of the earth, as well as the earth itself, experience different gravitational forces towards the moon, causing two oceanic bulges which result in two high tides daily.
    The video also explains why tides as well as moon rise and moon set are 50 minutes later each day, based on the moon's orbit around the earth.

    About Atomic School:
    Atomic School supports the teaching of Atomic Theory to primary school & science students .
    We provide lesson plans, hands-on classroom resources, demonstration equipment, quizzes and a Teacher's Manual to primary school teachers. Animated videos that clearly explain the scientific ideas supports learning by both teachers and students. As a teacher, you don't have to look anywhere else to implement this program.
    Our work has been verified by science education researchers at the University of Southern Queensland, Dr Jenny Donovan and Dr Carole Haeusler, who confirm that primary students are capable of learning much more complex scientific concepts than previously thought, and crucially, that they love it. Students run to class!
    The program has been trialed in Australian schools as well as schools in the Philippines, Iran and India. It is conducted as holiday workshops at the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation, the Queensland Museum as well as the World Science Festival.
    It has attracted wide media interest, including TV, radio and print, and the research data has been presented at prestigious American Education Research Association and Australian Science Education Research Association conferences.
    Atomic Theory underlies all the other sciences- genetics, electronics, nanotechnology, engineering and astronomy- so an early understanding will set them up for a more successful learning sequence for all their science subjects, and support their mastery of mathematics as well. We also have extension programs that cover Biology, Physics and Astronomy to an equal depth.
    About Ian Stuart (Email: ian.douglas.stuart@gmail.com):
    The founder of Atomic School, Ian Stuart, taught Chemistry and Physics for 25 years at senior levels before he realized that his 8-year old son, Tom, could understand Atomic Theory at a much deeper level than he expected. After visiting Tom's class at school, he discovered that his peers could also grasp the abstract scientific concepts, as well as apply it usefully to the real world.
    Ian then developed a program to teach the advanced concepts of high school Chemistry, Physics and Biology to students 10 years younger than they normally would. He found that this engaged their interest in modern science early, and sustained it through to high school and beyond. It also sets them up for future success in their academic and career paths.
    Ian has a Bachelor's Degree in Chemistry from the University of Queensland and a Master's degree in Electrochemistry from the University of Melbourne.

    @WAGNERMJW ปีที่แล้ว +57

    The assertion of the far side high tide is illogical. It's not as if the ocean is an independent and static object floating inside a water balloon such that the earth can be pulled back and forth while the ocean stays largely static and unaffected by gravitational pull. When the moon pulls at the ocean on its near side it is also pulling the ocean to flow around the earth toward it, thus causing the bulge, the high tide. It's not that the moon is pulling the h2o molecules apart from each other on the near side causing the bulge, at least not measurably. It's because there's more water that's been pulled toward the side facing the moon.

    that explanation is not true purely. moon and earth are orbitting around each other, and the barycenter is in earth. so earth is swaying around this causing a orbital velocity inequality. the far side from barycenter on the earth is speeding with a high orbiting velocity, so centripedal force causing antigravititational effect and there gravity decreases. so water tides up. same thing is viable on moon, but more antigravititation would become. (this effect is very little on earth, 0.027m/s around barycenter causing 6.91*10^-8 m/s^2 centripetal acceleration, moon's gravity on earth is about 3.32*10^-5 m/s^2)

If the gravity between earth and moon accelerated towards each other in a straight line they would eventually crash. However, the gravitational forces instead bend the motion of earth and moon into mutual orbits, keeping their distance more or less constant. The centripetal force required to do this is exactly the gravitational forces of attraction.

      It's hard to respond with a short reply. The moon's gravity is actually much weaker than 1/6th of the earth's gravity on, say, a kilogram of seawater on the surface of the earth as it is much further away. However, this tiny difference applies to the entire diameter of the earth/ocean, distorting the ocean's shape over its 12,000 km diameter. So the tidal variation of about 1 metre is a tiny effect, and not unreasonable.

      @@chishtiswaleha9828 Hi Chrishti. Yes, the earth is more massive and also closer, so its gravity is about 300 000 times stronger than the moon's. So the moon cannot make a piece of the ocean to "levitate" because this would require a force greater than earth's gravity. However, the moon's gravity has the effect of warping the ocean's shape over a distance of the earth's radius, causing a higher level on the near side.

    No. Logic failure. Your example of “moon on the right, creating a high tide on the left” with your rationale being that, the “earth is pulled away from the water and towards the moon” fails both logic and physics. The southern ocean is not anchored to something, so that the earth can be pulled away from it. Whatever gravitational pull the moon has upon the earth, it also has on the water, such that the water should, can, and does, flow in both physical and density terms, cyclically chasing the source(s) of the extraterrestrial gravitational pull, in constant marginal distribution of the majority of the oceans. And volumetrically toward the source(s) of gravitational pull. Therefore, the high tide on the side opposite the moon is due entirely to a gravitational source on that side, or from some as yet unknown, physical law or power offsetting the moon’s weaker gravitational influence. The earth does not move towards the moon in a straight line.

      The earth is centripetally accelerating towards the moon because there is a net force acting on the earth towards the moon. This means it's constantly displacing towards the moon from a vectorial point of view. However, the earth-moon distance is constant from a scalar point of view as the path is circular. But the vectorial point of view is the relevant one. The centipetal force toward the moon in a circular path would be the same as the force in a straight-line path.

      Water flows a lot more readily than rock or dirt, so the oceans have a bulge that flows across the surface pointing towards and away from the moon, the planet still rotates but the surface of the water in the bulge is simply higher, so as the world turns the water flows up that bulge and then back down.
      Similar to the way low pressure storm systems can actually raise the local sea level because the storm reduces the air pressure resulting in less force pushing down on that area of the water.

    Unfortunately this is still wrong. This explanation is similar to 90% of the videos or information on the internet all educating the incorrect physics. For one, the earth does not move towards the moon which in this case does not explain the tide on the other side of the earth’s moon face. If this was the case earth and the moon would’ve been merged by now. The moon is actually moving away from the earth in real time. The bulge of water on the “other side” is caused by the centrifugal force that exists between the earth moon (and sun) system. This system revolves around a center point not in the middle of the earth. Very simplified, one can subtract the gravitational force from the centripetal force and that will give you a value explaining the smaller tide.

    • @AtomicSchool
      @AtomicSchool  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I can see how the video seems to make an assumption that the earth and moon are on a collision course. That's because it's the simplest case of explaining tidal forces, and why 90% of physicists explain it this way. But of course, the earth and moon are orbiting around each other, explaining why they don't collide. However, the forces involved in straight-line motion and circular motion are the same. I will make a video to explain this. In either scenario, the moon and earth are in "free fall" towards each other.
      By subtracting the moon-earth gravitational force from the moon-ocean forces, you invent a non-inertial reference system that gives false signals regarding what is and what is not a real force. Centrifugal force is not real, and it called a fictitious force. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_force
      These physics professors also explain why centrifugal force is irrelevant:

Unfortunately, that means the Earth has now left its joint orbit with the Moon around the barycentre, and reduced the separation distance between the two, and sent it into orbital decay, with the only plausible outcome leading to a collision. That is not how Newton, Euler or Laplace ever described the tides or the motion of Planets! Sorry, my little buddy. 👌

    That is the worst example of 2 high tides, has to be another theory.... The earth has a gravity pull of its own as you explain, so why would ocean C even be raised or elevated at all... Earth's Gravity + the weak pull of the moons gravity would leave Ocean C at low tide 24/7, There is no example in this video that shows any reason Ocean C should be raised in anyway... If the earth pulled slightly to the right placing it in the center of your Ocean diagram, than so should the Ocean C example be pulled with it... that being earths gravity and the moon pulling it to the right.... The only way you will get that second high tide Hump on the other side is if another great massive object was orbiting the other side of the earth, or somehow the earth is losing a gravitational pull because it's fighting the moon, like when magnets lose force when you add more objects... thats my theory

While you're right in that the gravity of the earth pulls the ocean at C with it, the influence of the moon's distributed gravitational force is enough to change the sea level at C by about one meter.

      @AtomicSchool  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hello Willem. If the moon and earth were not orbiting one another, then A, B and C would differentially accelerate towards the moon in straight-line motion, and their distance separation would continually increase, causing tides. Eventually, the earth and moon would crash into each other.
      However, in orbital motion the different accelerations have a modified effect, in that they don't get closer to the moon (as you said). But the stronger lunar gravity at A will "pull" it into a tighter orbital radius than B, and similar for B compared to C. Because the ocean is fluid, it responds to this differential acceleration by stretching out, with A will have a tighter orbital radius than B, and C will have a larger orbital radius than B. The circular equation of motion for this is F=mv(2)/r. That is, as the stronger lunar gravity at A causes a smaller orbital radius, whereas the weaker lunar gravity at C extends its orbital radius. The combination is a stretching deformation in the fluid ocean.

    You are actually not correct here, because this common explanation is completely wrong. If it were the moon pulling water towards it, tides would only go up on the side facing the moon accumulating at the point nearest it. It’s more like the Earth’s centre of mass is squeezing all the water towards its centre. Thus, the pressure of this squeeze is least at the line made by the Earth’s centre of mass and the moon’s centre of mass. That is why it bulges on both sides. Imagine your hands on either side of a balloon pressing together.

    • @AtomicSchool
      @AtomicSchool  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The Great Lakes have tides: tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/water_level_info.html. They are smaller (about 5cm) because they are shallower and not as wide as the oceans. This means that the gravity differential is not as large as in oceans.
      Same with bathtubs.
      And you are also tidally stretched due to your head's stronger attraction to the moon compared to your feet's attraction if you're standing up. This effect is called "spaghettification" but is too small to notice with weak lunar gravities. But near a black hole, you would be stretched to death!
      Regarding SpaceTime his main concern is that it's only the horizontal component of the lunar attraction that does all the tidal moving. That is, the so-called "tractive forces". I disagree with that, but that's another story. I also recall that he incorrectly claims that there are no tides in the Great Lakes? Can't remember.

    The video is great as far as gravity gradients go but overall is somewhat simplistic. It but doesn't mention the inertia of earths oceans being part of the picture. Also, why doesn't the video also mention centrifugal force due to the barycentre(centre of mass) of both Earth and moon being about 4,600 miles (7,403 Km) towards the moon? The high tides on the away side of the barycentre and to a smaller degree on the moon side of the barycentre must partly be influenced by centrifugal force as well. To be clear, I'm not talking about centrifugal force due to Earth's spin about its own axis, but due to the earth/moon system's rotation about its barycentre.

    The main problem with this explanation is that the Moon does not orbit the centre of the Earth; rather they both orbit the common centre of mass which is between the centre of the earth and the surface on the side facing the Moon. This point is called the "barycentre" of the two bodies which orbit about it, the Moon making the largest orbit while the Earth just wobbles about this point. Once you realise that, then the second tide on the opposite side becomes obvious.

    • @tribusmontibus6436

      Hello George. That's one explanation. But that means that you are regarding the Earth-Moon system in a rotating non-inertial reference frame. That's a correct approach. But that doesn't necessarily make this approach incorrect. When regarding the Earth-Moon system in an inertial reference frame, centrifugal force disappears and you are left with the 'naked' accelerations presented in this video. Such an approach yields the exact same results.
      What makes this video confusing is that the earth is depicted 'center screen' and stays there for the duration. This means that the screen's reference frame is essentially non inertial, as Earth really does move, with respect to the distant stars. Yet the argumentation is based on an inertial approach.
      Besides, it really shouldn't show an earth moving towards the moon. Acceleration towards the moon only makes sense as a centripetal acceleration, where it doesn't close in on the moon. But I guess that was 'animator's choice'.

      You see, as a sailor you are more likely to notice certain things about the tides which most people miss:
      - The high tides typically do not coincide with the passage of the moon overhead (not even in mid-ocean). If they do coincide; just look fifty miles either way, on the same meridian, to find a place where they do not (even though the moon was ‘overhead’ at the same time).
      - The moon passes overhead from east to west, yet the rising tides come in from all directions (even in mid-ocean).
      - With the moon on the horizon, water should be ‘pulling away from you’ if the ‘pulling on the oceans’ is true. But no correlation can be seen when you check the tidal rises and falls.
      - For most locations in the northern hemisphere the highest high tides and lowest low tides occur one or two days after the New Moon and the Full Moon.
      Most sailors, in my experience, accept vague speculative explanations for these apparent discrepancies. Some are more inquisitive and endeavor to find out what’s really going on.

      With respect, the tide generating force really is stronger on the side of the earth closest to the moon and weakest on the side opposite the moon. The thing that trips people up is that the tide generating force can be broken into horizontal and vertical components. The vertical components are weak and are opposed and overwhelmed by the strength of the earth's own gravity. The horizontal components are also weak, but the horizontal components are not opposed by any other force. Tides go up and down, not because the moon's gravity pulls water upward, but because the horizontal components make water slosh back and forth.
      Imagine trying to carry a frying pan full of water. As the water sloshes back and forth, the level of the water goes up and down when measured against the sides of the pan. Now imagine a pan the size of an ocean basin, with ocean water sloshing against the shore. Tides are like that.

      If they were not revolving around each other, and exhibiting circular motion, then they would fall into each other. This happens often with celestial bodies on collision courses, or two stationary bodies whose mutual gravitation accelerates them to a collision point. In this case, however, gravity BENDS the motion of the moon and earth into circular orbits, rather than making them get closer to each other. There is still acceleration, but it is CENTRIPETAL acceleration instead of straight line acceleration. Nevertheless, centripetal and straight line acceleration have the same effect in producing tides.

      Newton's laws of physics hold that all actions come with an equal and opposite reaction. You might be smaller than the earth, but your body's mass pulls on the earth just as the Earth's mass pulls on you.
      The effect of the wobbling earth could be compared to someone walking a dog on a leash. If the dog frantically runs in circles around its owner, it will be "orbiting" them, but the person will also be pulled slightly in the direction the dog is currently pulling from. The person pulls equally as hard on the leash as the dog does. Otherwise, the dog would either escape or be yanked inward, depending on who is pulling harder. It is the same with the earth and the moon.
      This behavior is used to detect planets in other solar systems. Planets are too small and dim to see from astronomical distances, but if we can see a star wobbling back and forth, we can assume an orbiting planet is tugging on it as it makes its way around its orbit.

    I have worked around some of the most precision scales in the world. They carry a gram to 4 decimal places. When the sun and moon are directly overhead, there is no affect on the scales. I even talked to a scale calibration technician who works on far more accurate scales. I asked him if he ever considers the sun and moons position when calibrating scales? He said that He had never thought of it. i dont believe any of this

      @@AtomicSchool on a thousand ounce silver bars shaved to an accuracy of .005 gram,, that equates to 1 part in six million accuracy. far more on gold. thats about .0000001 /1 on a thousand ounces. The scales were capable of far more accuracy. about 23 square miles of ocean represents .0000001 of the worlds oceans area at 139million square miles. I am just a regular guy, but it escapes me when I comprehend the north to south bulge of water as a percentage of the total ocean area is undetectable by the instruments that I have used. If the bulge of water was only 1/100th of a mile wide north to south it would represent far more of a percentage of the worlds ocean area than the scales are measuring a percentage of a gold or silver bar. I guess in summary, the amount of water "lifted" is massive as I look at tide charts. trillions of tons perhaps and I cannot detect anything. and to top it off , in one part of canada the tide is 50 foot .
      thanks for the civil dialog

    the water doesnt move along with the earth when it rotates? why is the water stays in the same position while the eart is rotating?

    • @AtomicSchool
      @AtomicSchool  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Good point. The ocean does get dragged along with the earth as it rotates, but the diagram does not show this. It also doesn't show it NOT being dragged as the ocean colour is plain. This means there is a conflict between the ocean being taken for a ride with the spinning earth, and some being held back by the moon's gravitational attraction causing the tides.

      @@UraFlight If they did not have a tangential velocity, the earth and moon would indeed accelerate towards each other along a straight line and collide. Earth's oceans would also experience 2 tides daily before the big crash. However, their tangential velocities convert their straight-line acceleration into circular, or centripetal, acceleration. The outcome is they stay the same distance apart. However, the centripetal and linear accelerations have the same effect in producing tides.

    A perfect description of tides. Thank you. Well actually, it’s only correct, if you’re name is Aristotle (circa. 384-322 BCE) and you still believe in a flat earth and the geocentric model? Fortunately, science has come on a long way since then? Sorry nice try? Please refrain from using outdated information and keep up with the recognised curriculum taught in present day schools. Thank you.

    Zero mention of the gravitational effect of the Sun. Yes, it makes a difference, and so does the angle it forms with the sun and moon. This is not to say that moon phase determines tide height to an appreciable degree (neap/spring tide excepted), but this explanation completely ignores that part of the overall process.
    This also ignores that the moon is actually dragging the tidal bulge against the direction of the rotation of the Earth, and is the prime cause of the slowing down of said rotation. There is no "catching up"; the tidal bulge is always leading ahead of what would be a perfect line from the center of the earth to the moon.
