What would the size of the moon be if the earth was the size of a basketball?
it would not work because it is not done to the propper scale but it still may not work even to the propper scale
Why cant sonar find the distance between the earth and the moon?
Sonar is a sound phenominon, it requires a liquid (water, air, etc) to work.
What does the pull of the moon have to do with ocean tides?
The gravity of the Moon. The gravitation of the Earth and the Moon work on each other. The side of the Earth nearest the Moon receives the greatest effect of the Moon's gravitational pull, creating the bulge in the ocean and high tide beneath the Moon. The bulge on the far side of the Earth is being spun away centrifugally from the center of the combined Earth-Moon mass.
How does the sun the moon and the earth work together?
There is no contractual arrangement, so I'm guessing its on an ad hoc basis. they appear to be the same size in the sky, the Sun, Earth and Moon work together to create eclipses.
What part of the moon can you see from earth?
The moon is tidally locked to the Earth, so the same part always faces us. How does this work? It rotates at exactly the rate necessary to keep that alignment. The reason is that gravitational bulges on the moon, caused by the Earth's gravity (moon tides) are attracted differentially by the earth's gravity and this puts the brakes on the moon's spin. As this happens, the moon is pushed away from the Earth, because the energy has to go somewhere!
Is the moon orbiting the earth an example of work being done?
no........not really:)
Is the moon orbiting around earth a form of work being done?
Answer #1:YES======================Answer #2:No
What is the minimum work that has to be performed to bring a spaceship of mass 2000kg from the surface of the Earth to the Moon?
We would have to know the masses of the Earth and the Moon to figure that out. But I will tell you this: The minimum work done is the energy needed to get the spaceship to the point between the Earth and the Moon where the gravitational influences of the two celestial objects cancel each other. After it passes this point, the spaceship will be pulled towards the Moon by the Moon's gravitational attraction, thus eliminating the need to push the spaceship further.
How does a gibbous moon work?
The shade of the earth on the moon is what causes the gibbous moon.
What would the size of the moon be if the earth was the size of a basketball?
it would not work because it is not done to the propper scale but it still may not work even to the propper scale
Does a small planet that orbits earth describe the moon?
No. This description does not quite work becomes the moon is not a planet; it is a moon.
Why cant sonar find the distance between the earth and the moon?
Sonar is a sound phenominon, it requires a liquid (water, air, etc) to work.
If magnetic compass does not work on moon Why electric motor work on moon?
No because the Moon does not have a magnetic field like the Earth does. The Earth's magnetic field appears to be created by a liquid metalic out core circulating around a solid core. This works like a dynamo which creates the magnetic field around the Earth. The Moon lacks a similar core stucture. This is also the reason why the Monn has no atmosphere.A magnetic compass would not work on the moon, for the moon does not have the magnetic field that the earth has, allowing us to use this device.No, because moon does not have magnetic force like earth
Does an astronaut do more work climbing a ladder on the earth or on the moon?
yes
