Which description best tells how the arrangement of the sun, moon, and earth affect the range of the tides during a spring tide

In a spring tide, the Moon, Earth, and Sun are all in allignment, which causes the greatest gravitational pull on the water of Earth. Basically, when the Moon and Sun align towards and in the same direction at the Earth, their gravitational pulls join together making the pull stronger. (see image below)

What this very strong pull does is make high tides higher than usual, and low tides lower than usual. This is because the pull on tides is very strong and more water is being pulled to form higher high tides, making there less water for there to be in low tides.

science is a systematic and logical approach to discovering how things in the universe work. true to this definition, science aims for measurable results through testing and analysis. science is based on fact, not opinion or preferences. the process of science is designed to challenge ideas through research.

explanation:

air exerts forces on falling objects near earth’s surface.

explanation:

the term 'free falls' refer to object that are falling towards the earth, in a situation in which gravity is the only force acting on the object.

for an object in free fall, the acceleration is constant (g, the gravitational acceleration), and so the velocity of the object constantly increases.

for objects near earth's surface, there is always another force acting on the object: the resistance due to the air. this force is opposed to the direction of fall of the object, and it is proportional to the velocity of the object, so as the object falls down, this force increases up to a point when it balances the force of gravity, and the object continues its motion at constant velocity (called terminal velocity). since in this case gravity is not the only force acting on the object, we are not in a situation of free fall.
