Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to “how fast an object is moving.”
Tides are influenced by the force of gravity exerted by the earth, moon and the sun. The sun has a larger mass than the moon and as such has a greater gravitational pull on the earth. the moon however has greater influence over the tides because they are caused by the difference in gravity fields. This means that the moon is the dominant influence due to the fact that the fractional difference in its force across the earth is greater than that seen from the sun.
Your being on the moon has no effect on the moon's
gravitational field strength, or on the Earth's for that
matter.
However, YOU notice a change on YOU when YOU move
from one to the other, because of the effect of the gravitational
field strength on you and your internal organs.
If you could stand on the moon, you would experience an incredible
sense of lightness, since the forces of attraction between the moon
and anything else are only 16% as great as the same forces are on
Earth.
Rotational motion may be described analytically for bodies undergoing pure rotation.
