Isaac Newton’s universal law of gravitation is an expansion of the planetary motion ideas developed by Johannes Kepler. One derivative of Newton’s universal law gives us a useful formula to find tidal forces on Earth caused by either the Sun or Moon. The tidal force depends on the mass m of the Sun or Moon, the radius r of Earth, and the cube of the distance d between Earth and either the Sun or Moon. (The G in the equation is known as the gravitational constant, and it doesn’t change.) Based on the equation and your knowledge of the Sun-Earth-Moon system, which celestial body (the Sun or the Moon) has a greater influence on Earth’s tides? Justify your answer.

Astudent sees several ants walking up a wall following the exact same trail that an ant took earlier. she wants to apply the scientific method to determine how the ants detected the trail. which of these steps would come first in her application of the scientific method? perform an experiment by cleaning the scent away from part of the trail. draw a conclusion that the ants follow a scent trail. make a prediction about what the ants will do after she cleans away part of the trail. hypothesize that the ants are following a scent trail that the first ant left.
