Tidal forces arise from gravity gradient: near side attracted more than far side, stretching objects. Governs Moon stability and planetary rings.

Пошаговое руководство

  1. 1Input primary mass, satellite mass, separation distance
  2. 2Calculate tidal force gradient
  3. 3Compare to self-gravity

Решённые примеры

Ввод
Earth-Moon system
Результат
Tidal force sufficient to cause 1m ocean tides
Moon receding ~3.8 cm/year

Распространённые ошибки

  • Confusing tidal force with mass effect
  • Neglecting density in Roche limit

Часто задаваемые вопросы

When does tidal force destroy objects?

When exceeds self-gravity: Roche limit. Depends on density, composition.
