The tides raise the mater in the see roughly in a day___________________?
Correct answer: B. twice
- A. once
- B. twice
- C. four time
- D. eight time
Explanation
At most coastlines, the Moon's tidal effect produces two high tides and two low tides during approximately one lunar day, about 24.8 h. Thus the water level rises roughly twice in a day. A student may choose once by considering only one side of Earth and overlooking the second tidal bulge.

About Potential Energy
Potential energy is energy stored because of position or configuration, including gravitational potential energy near Earth's surface and elastic energy in a stretched or compressed spring. Questions use changes in potential energy and conservation of mechanical energy, while distinguishing a chosen reference level from an absolute zero of energy.
