Question

Movement of tides causes the loss of _________ in earth moon system.

(a) Static energy

(b) Frictional energy

(c) Mechanical energy

(d) Kinetic energy

I got this question in an online quiz.

I'm obligated to ask this question of Tidal and Wave Power topic in chapter Non Conventional Energy Sources and Storage Devices of Applied Chemistry

Answer 1

Correct answer is (c) Mechanical energy

Best explanation: Movement of tides causes the loss of the mechanical friction in earth moon system. It is due to the pumping of water through natural restrictions around the coastal line and consequent viscous dissipation at the sea bed.
