4
Tides: Daily oscillations of the sea level. Two high tides and two low tides each day. Bay of Fundy
5
Hiking along California’s coast
6
Today’s tide chart Two low tides per day: They happen at moonrise and moonset. Low tide: 6:16 am Low tide: 6:50 pm High tide: 1:26 am High tide: 12:49 pm
7
Tides During One Month Questions: Why two high tides per day? Why one every 12:50 hours? Why does the amplitude change over the course of a month? Time During One Month (Days)
8
Gravity field causes two tidal bulges
9
Tidal friction lead to synchronous rotation. Moon is facing the earth the same way.
10
Tides vary with the phase of the Moon because the sun interacts also Spring tide: HIGH because sun and moon act together during new and full moon
11
© 2005 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Addison-Wesley Tides vary with the phase of the Moon because the sun interacts also Spring tide: HIGH because sun and moon act together during new and full moon Neap tide: LOW because sun and moon’s gravity counter-act
13
Today is a full moon. What times will the high tide occur in the bay area? A.6 am B.Noon C.6 pm D. Midnight
14
© 2005 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Addison-Wesley Real tides are more complicated
15
Tidal friction… Tidal friction gradually slows Earth rotation, 1 s every 50,000 years (and makes Moon get farther from Earth). Earth’s + moon’s combined angular momentum is conserved. Earth is losing angular momentum, the moon gains it. Moon once rotated faster (or slower); tidal friction caused it to “lock” in synchronous rotation.
16
© 2005 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Addison-Wesley Synchronous Rotation …is when the rotation period of a planet equals the orbital period of its moon. Tidal friction on the Moon (caused by Earth) has slowed its rotation down to a period of one month. The Moon now rotates synchronously. –We always see the same side of the Moon.

18
Basic Types of Energy Kinetic (motion) Potential (gravitational) Thermal (heat) Chemical energy (bonds) Nuclear energy (bonds) Light Mass-Energy can change type, but cannot be destroyed. Light Energy Potential Energy Kinetic Energy
21
Potential Energy Converted to Kinetic Energy
22
Potential Energy Potential Energy = mass * 9.8 m/s 2 * height = mgh
23
Converting: Potential Energy to Kinetic Energy
24
Potential Energy Converted to Kinetic Energy
25
Conservation of Energy: Potential + Kinetic = Constant with time © 2005 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Addison-Wesley
26
Kinetic Energy: Converted to Heat
27
Thermal Energy of the motion of atoms and molecules
28
Thermal Energy: Kinetic Energy of the molecules
29
Potential Energy (in battery) Converted to Electrical Energy © 2005 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Addison-Wesley

Conservation of Energy Energy can make matter move. Energy is conserved, but it can: –Transfer from one object to another –Change in form Note: Energy is conserved within a closed, confined system. In an open system, energy can be exchanged with the environment.
31
Conservation of Momentum Definition of momentum: p = mass × velocity (Unit: kg m/s) Conservation of momentum: If no external force is applied, the total momentum of system is conserved. Useful: For all sorts of collisions. It applies also to atoms and molecules.

Interactive Quiz: Collisions of two trucks Two trucks of equal mass on an icy road: Before collision: Truck 1 is at rest. Truck 2 approached with 40 km/h. After the collision: Both trucks are damaged and stick together What is their final velocity? A) 10 km/h B) 20 km/h C) 40 km/h D) This is not possible, conservation of momentum prevents them from sticking Truck #1 Truck #2 40 km/h
36
Interactive Quiz: Collisions of two trucks Two trucks of equal mass on an icy road: Before collision: Truck 1 is at rest. Truck 2 approached with 40 km/h. Truck 1: p 1 =M* 0 km/h Truck 2: p 2 =M* 40 km/h After collision: p=(2M)*v final Momentum conservation: p final = p 1 +p 2 (2M)*v final = M*40 km/h v final = 20km/h Truck #1 Truck #2
37
Conservation of Angular Momentum Definition of angular momentum unit: kg m / s Conservation of angular momentum: In a central field like the sun’s gravity, the angular momentum of orbiting objects is conserved. Useful: Planets and comets in the sun’s gravity field Applies to rotating objects.
