<em>Kinetic (mechanical) energy</em>
Answer:
Neap tides, which also occur twice a month, happen when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other. ... This occurs twice each month. The moon appears new (dark) when it is directly between the Earth and the sun. The moon appears full when the Earth is between the moon and the sun.
To determine the force of the system, we use Newton's Second Law of motion which relates force and mass where they are directly proportional and the constant of proportionality is the acceleration. We calculate as follows:
F = ma
F = 10.41 kg ( 6.5 m/s^2 )
F = 67.67 kg m / s^2 or N
