As you watch the video, notice that the size of the tidal bulges varies with the Moon's phase, which depends on its orbital posi
tion relative to the Sun. Which of the following statements accurately describes this variation? A. Low tides are lowest at both full moon and new moon.
B. High tides are highest at both full moon and new moon.
B. High tides are highest at both full moon and new moon.

Answer:
Both
A. Low tides are lowest at both full moon and new moon.
B. High tides are highest at both full moon and new moon.
Explanation:
Tides are formed as a consequence of the differentiation of gravity due to the moon across to the Earth sphere.
Since gravity variate with the distance:
(1)
Where m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects that are interacting and r is the distance Where m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects that are interacting and r is the distance between them.
For example, see the image below, point A is closer to the moon than point b and at the same time the center of mass of the Earth will feel more attracted to the moon than point B. Therefore, that creates a tidal bulge in point A and point B.
On the other hand, a full moon it gets when Sun, the Earth and the moon are in a line and the moon is reflecting the sunlight.
When the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun it will be illuminated in its back, so it is not possible to see it from the Earth (that is called new moon).
In those two cases mentioned above, the Sun tidal force contributes to the tidal force of the moon over the earth making high tides higher and low tides lower.

Answer:
2. The metal surface exerts less frictional force because there are fewer bumps and irregularities on it than there are on the concrete.
Explanation:
Frictional force is a force that is exerted between two surfaces in contact with each other. Frictional force always opposes the direction of relative motion of the two surfaces: for instance, for a ball moving along a surface, the force of friction exerted by the surface on the ball points opposite to the direction of motion of the ball.
The magnitude of the frictional force for a ball moving on a flat surface is given by
where
is the coefficient of friction
m is the mass of the ball
g is the acceleration of gravity
The value of depends on the type of surface involved. In particular, a smooth surface has a smaller value of
, while a rough surface will have a bigger value. In this case, we are comparing a smooth metal surface with concrete: since the metal surface has fewer bumps and irregularities than concrete, it has a smaller value of coefficient of friction, so it exerts less frictional force than concrete.
