The Earth. The Earth and Moon are bound together by gravity and the Earth's tides (caused by the Moon) are accelerating the Moon and slowing the spin of the Earth. This means that the Moon is slowly getting further and further away from Earth.

Does the moon accelerate as it revolves around it?

No, the moon does not accelerate as it revolves around Earth. Its speed remains relatively constant as it follows its elliptical orbit.

Why does the moon accelerate?

The moon does not accelerate; its speed remains relatively constant as it orbits Earth due to the balance of gravitational forces. However, the moon's orbit is not a perfect circle, so its speed may vary slightly as it moves around Earth.


Is the moon guilty or not guilty of causing the tides?

Why objects of different masses falling in the moon accelerate at the same rate?

Objects of different masses accelerate at the same rate on the moon because the acceleration due to gravity on the moon is constant for all objects, regardless of their mass. This is because the force of gravity is proportional to the mass of the object, so the acceleration is the same for all objects.


What the difference between the acceleration of a baseball one earth compared to the moon?

The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is approximately 9.81 m/s^2, while on the moon it is only 1.62 m/s^2. This means that a baseball will accelerate more slowly on the moon compared to Earth due to the lower gravitational force.
