What is force on the moon?
The Earth pulls on the Moon, and the Moon pulls on the Earth. The Sun pulls on the Moon, and the Moon pulls on the Sun. Mars pulls on the Moon (ever so slightly) and the Moon pulls on Mars. Your body pulls on the Moon (hardly measurable, but it does) and the Moon pulls on your body. The Moon and Sun and Earth's gravity pull (and push) Earth's oceans, and the ocean "tides" are the results.
What keeps the Moon from floating away?
The Earth's gravitational force keeps it from moving away into outer space. (* Gravity is a mutual force of attraction between matter, so the Earth pulls on the Moon while the Moon pulls on the Earth.)
The force that pulls all things in the univirse together?
Gravitation is responsible for keeping the Earth and the other planets in their orbits around the Sun and for keeping the Moon in its orbit around the Earth.
What is the force of gravity on the moon?
Earth's gravity pulls on the moon with a force of about 2x10^20 (200 quintillion) newtons or about 45 quintillion lbs.
Is it true that moon pulls on the earth with one-sixth the force that the earth exerts on the moon?
No. Gravitational force is present between every two mass bodies, and the force on each body is the same.
What cause the moon orbit earth and earth to revolve around the sun?
sun's gravity pulls earth and earth pulls on the moon.
Draw a free body diagram for the moon?
If you mean the Moon's movement around the Earth, the Earth's gravitation pulls the Moon towards the Earth. There is no opposing force that acts on the Moon (otherwise, the Moon wouldn't accelerate towards the Earth, i.e., change its direction).
What is the force that pulls objects down towards the moon?
The force we are talking about is the force of gravity... which we usually denote with small g... its value on earth is approx. 9.8m/s2 or 32ft/s2. The force of gravity of moon is 1/8th to that of the earth...... This is due to this less force of gravity that we feel weightlessness on moon...
Why is there a high tide on the side of the earth closets to the moon?
Because the moons gravitational force pulls the water upwards.
The gravitation force between the moon and earth?
Well if the moon moves a bit the earth and tide pulls with it and if the sun moon and earth are all in the same position as in a spring tide it causes the tides to go really big.
Doesn't the moon gravity pull at the earth?
It does. The moon's gravity pulls on Earth with exactly the same amount of force as Earth's gravity pulls on the moon. However, since Earth has about 80 times more mass than the moon, it experiences about 1/80 the acceleration that the moon does. Rather than the moon simply orbiting Earth, the two revolve around a common center of mass, which is inside Earth, but closer to Earth's surface than it is to the center.
What force pulls water up against gravity?
It is gravity its self. The gravity of the moon pulls on water and causes the tides. When the sun and moon are aligned, there are exceptionally strong gravitational forces, causing very high and very low tides. The gravitational force of the moon is one ten-millionth that of earth, but when you combine other forces such as the earth's centrifugal force created by its spin, you get tides.
