Question

the rise and fall of ocean tides applies to which of newtons laws? select one: newtons first law newtons second law newtons third law gravity newtons law of universal gravitation

Explanation:

The rise and fall of ocean tides are caused by the gravitational forces exerted by the moon and the sun on the Earth's oceans. Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation describes the gravitational force between two masses. It states that every point mass attracts every other point mass by a force acting along the line joining the points. This law explains the tidal - generating forces. Newton's first, second, and third laws deal with motion and forces in a more general context for objects on Earth and in space, not specifically with the cause of tides. Gravity is a general concept, while Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation is the specific law that applies here.

Answer:

Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation
