Tidal Force Proportionality and Derivation!
In this video, we'll use the tidal force proportionality statement to compare the tidal forces of the moon vs. the sun. We'll also use the tidal force proportionality statement to compare the moon's influence when it was 3 times closer. Lastly, we'll use Newton's law of gravity to do the tidal force derivation as well!
