Suppose the Moon rotated on its axis just as quickly as Earth. Would we still always see the same side of the Moon from Earth?

How do you think the Coriolis effect would change if the Earth rotated twice as fast as it does?
the curving of the path would curve more than it is suppose to and the straight path due to the earths rotation would no longer be straight
Why is phoenix visible in December?
because the earth has rotated to it

Hypothetically What might conditions on the earth be if it not only rotated on a north to south pole access but also on an East to West axis simultaneously?
The Earth would rotate diagonally.
What force acts on the Moon to keep one hemisphere facing the Earth?
Tidal forces made it rotate that way. We can assume that in the far past, it may have rotated faster; tidal forces made it slow down. (In principle, it's also possible that it rotated slower and that tidal forces made it speed up.) Similarly, the Earth is rotating slower and slower; one far day in the future, the Earth will always show the same side to the Moon. Of course, once an object is rotating at a certain speed, it requires no force to make it continue rotating.
If the earth rotated quickly what would happen?
A theory says that time would be quicker.
What would happen if earth rotated more quickly?
The days would be shorter. Objects would be slightly less heavy, but not noticeably.

How do you use rotation in a sentence?
Stock rotation ensures we always use the oldest stock first.The rotation of the Earth around the Sun takes one year.A farmer uses crop rotation to help keep the soil disease free.

If the earth rotated quickly enough a person's weight would be negated and they would lift off he ground if the earth was rotating at this speed how long would each day last?
Yes. You can loose all your weight but if it happened you would also die.
If the earth rotated faster would time go faster?
No.
Only one side of the moon faces Earth because?
This is common for most moons. - Assuming that the Moon ever rotated faster than now, over time it would have rotated slower and slower, due to tidal forces. (Similarly, if it rotated slower, such tidal forces would have make it rotate faster.) Similarly, the Earth's rotation slows down over time, and in a far future, it will always face the same side to the Moon.
What will happen if earth rotated more slowly?
Time will slow down.
What would stay the same if earth rotated and revolved in the opposite direction?
Everything The sun provides for earth
