Resumo: | The mechanisms responsible for the tides are discussed, using mathematics that is accessible to secondary school students; we show that both the Moon and the Sun are responsible for the tidal effects on the oceans. Despite the gravitational pull of the Sun on the Earth being approximately 200 times greater than that of the Moon, solar tidal effects are approximately half those of the lunar effects. We present a study of 104,616 dates of birth, with the intention of identifying evidence for or against the alleged influence of the Moon over children s births. |

Apesar da força gravitacional do Sol na Terra ser aproximadamente 200 vezes maior do que a da Lua, os efeitos solares de maré são aproximadamente 2 vezes menores do que os lunares. Uma crença popular muito difundida afirma que o número de nascimentos de bebês está correlacionado com as fases da Lua; apresenta-se um estudo com 104616 datas de nascimento que contradiz essa crença popular.Imprensa Universitária - UFSC2003-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/fisica/article/view/6558Caderno Brasileiro de Ensino de Física; v. 20 n. 1 (2003); 10-292175-79411677-2334reponame:Caderno Brasileiro de Ensino de Física (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/fisica/article/view/6558/6045Silveira, Fernando Lang dainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-11-29T17:43:18Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/6558Revistahttp://www.periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/fisicaPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/fisica/oaicbefisica@gmail.com||fscccef@fsc.ufsc.br|| cbefisica@gmail.com2175-79411677-2334opendoar:2022-11-29T17:43:18Caderno Brasileiro de Ensino de Física (Online) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false |
