What would happen if the moon fell out of orbit?
It would not collide with planet earth. It would travel in a straight line away from the earth perpendicular to the line between the earth and the moon.
If there were no inertia would cause the moon to travel in a straight line?
Inertia is a natural force that impacts the forces of the moon and its orbit through the solar system.
If you travel from the earth to the moon and back in 144 hours how fast are you going?
For a simple answer, we have to assume that you travel in a straight-line path to themoon, just touch the surface, immediately head back, and return in a straight line.Average distance from earth to the moon: 238,855 miles.Round-trip distance: 477,710 miles.Speed = 477,710/144 = 3,317 miles per hour.
What is a zyzygy?
A ZYZYGY is when the earth, moon and sun are all in a straight line.
Why doesn't the Moon travel in straight line and continue in space?
The normal tendency of objects - when no force acts on them - is to move in a straight line, at a constant speed and direction (that is, a constant velocity). However, when there is a force, an object's velocity may be changed. That's what happens to the Moon, as well as to other objects in some orbit. In this case, the force is provided by gravitational attraction from Earth.
If yo you were to travel from earth round the moon and back to the earth how far have you traveled?
In a straight line, half a million miles. But you can't do it in a straight line.
What would happen if the moon fell out of orbit?
It would not collide with planet earth. It would travel in a straight line away from the earth perpendicular to the line between the earth and the moon.
Do photons travel in a straight line?
Yes, they do. But they sometimes travel a straight line through bent space.
Does lightning travel in a straight line?
no it does not
Do waves travel in a straight line?
no
What causes causes objects to move in a curved line around the Earth?
Gravity. Things naturally travel in a straight line unless another force acts on them. The moon would travel in a straight line but is dragged down by the gravity of the earth. This constant acceleration towards the earth causes it to orbit the earth in a curve.
How long does it take to travel the moon in one mile?
That depends on how fast you are going. Basic math here. If you are on the moon, and you travel in a straight line at 100 mph, you will have traveled a mile after 1/100 of an hour, or 36 seconds. Remember, this applies to wherever you are, not just the moon.
What kind of line does light travel through?
Straight line.
Why does a gulf stream travel in a straight line?
it does not
Do sound waves travel in a straight line?
no
When does light travel in straight line?
no it does not
If you travel to the moon at a speed of 1500 mph how many days will the trip take?
At its closest, the Moon is about 226,000 miles away. Moving at a speed of 1500 mph, it would take about 150 hours or 6.25 days to cover this distance. That's assuming you travel in a "straight line" from Earth to the Moon. The paths followed by spacecraft are not usually simple "straight lines".
