CFA#2 - POST REVIEW Earth & Forces

Front

What are spring tides?

Back

Spring tides are tides that occur when the sun, moon, and Earth are aligned, resulting in higher high tides and lower low tides.

Front

What causes spring tides to have higher high tides?

Back

The alignment of the sun, moon, and Earth causes a reinforced gravitational pull, leading to higher high tides.

Front

What is the energy transformation that occurs in a battery?

Back

The energy transformation in a battery is from chemical energy to electrical energy to light energy.

Front

What season occurs when your area tilts away from the sun?

Back

When your area tilts away from the sun, it is winter.

Front

What is net force?

Back

Net force is the overall force acting on an object, taking into account all the individual forces.

Front

If the net force is 40 N to the right, what does that mean for the object's movement?

Back

It means the object will accelerate to the right.

Front

What happens during neap tides?

Back

During neap tides, the sun and moon are at right angles to each other, resulting in lower high tides and higher low tides.

Front

What is gravitational pull?

Back

Gravitational pull is the force that attracts two bodies towards each other, such as the Earth and the moon.

Front

What is the difference between balanced and unbalanced forces?

Back

Balanced forces do not change an object's motion, while unbalanced forces cause an object to accelerate.

Front

What is the role of the sun in the Earth's seasons?

Back

The sun's position relative to the Earth affects the amount of sunlight and warmth an area receives, determining the seasons.
