Question

the Gforce of moon is 1/6th of the Gforce of the earth.there is a long distance between earth & moon.then how the moon's Gforce can creat waves?

Answer 1

Gforce is something which you encounter on the surface of the planet,waves are created due to gravitational force of the whole body.

Answer 2

Because the Earth is so big. The Earth is 8,000 miles in diameter, which is 42,240,000 feet, and the tides are maybe 10 feet high. So the tidal bulge is 1/4,224,000 of the Earth's diameter, This slight warping of the shape of the Earth is due to the difference it gravity on the side of Earth closest to the Moon and the side farthest from the Moon, because gravity gets less with distance. The effect would be way too small to see on anything smaller than a whole planet. In theory the Moon could cause tides in a bucket 1 foot wide, but those tides would be 42,240,000 times smaller than the tides on the 8,000 mile wide Earth.

Answer 3

The gravitational attraction, and the centrifugal forces generated by the rotation of the Moon and Earth around a common axis, the barycentre, is largely responsible for the tides on Earth. The energy dissipated in generating tides is directly responsible for the reduction[dubious — see talk page] in potential energy in the Moon-Earth orbit around the barycentre, resulting in a 3.8 cm yearly increase in the distance between the two bodies. The Moon will continue to move slowly away from the Earth until the tidal effects between the two are no longer of significance, whereupon the Moon's orbit will stabilise.

Answer 4

What is called one " G" refers to the description of a gravity field which is Force per Unit mass.
A Force only comes into existance when an interaction between two entities occurs.
So the interaction of the space between the moon mass and the earth mass behaves in the form of a wave.
This is what Einstein called a "gravity wave".

Answer 5

The G force on a body depends on its mass and radius,the mass of the earth is much bigger than the mass of the moon,also the radius of the earth is much bigger than the radius of the moon.so to calculate the force on an object on the surface of the moon we use the formula;
F= G* m(object)*m(moon)/(radius of the moon)squared
and we use the same formula to calculate the force on the same object on he surface of the earth.
if u compare the two forces u will find that the force on the surface of the earth is 6 times that on the moon surface.

Answer 6

Don't confuse THEORY with FACT. Gravitational waves are presently THEORY -- maybe, to be more accurate, hypothesis, which is scientific logic without direct facts.

Answer 7

i am going with the answer the top contributor gave.
i couldn't explain it better if i had a gun to my head.lol
