What is the astronaut inertia on the moon?

The astronaut's inertia on the moon would be the same as on Earth, as inertia is an object's resistance to a change in motion. However, due to the moon's lower gravity, the astronaut would weigh less and experience a reduced force opposing their motion compared to Earth.


Does inertia keep moving ahead?

Inertia is the property of matter to stay in its existing state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, unless that state is altered by some force. Even on the moon, inertia is at work. For example, if you throw a ball on the moon, it would continue moving until the moon's gravity and the friction on the moon's surface brought it to rest. If the ball is on the ground, it will stay in place until a force acts upon it.


What is a scientific theory about how objects move in space?

The reason object move around space is inertia. Take the moon and Earth for example, gravity makes the moon stay close to the Earth, and inertia makes the moon circle (or revolve, or orbit) around the Earth in a circular motion. the path it takes is called its orbit.


When an astronaut lands on the moon his inertia would be less more or same?

Inertia is related to MASS. MASS is a property of matter. Matter is the same on the Earth or on the Moon. Therefore his inertia would be the same.


What is more inertia the moon or sun?

The Sun has more inertia than the Moon because it has a much greater mass. Inertia is the resistance of an object to changes in its motion, and it is directly proportional to an object's mass. Since the Sun is much larger and more massive than the Moon, it has greater inertia.

What more inertia sun or moon?

The Moon.


How is orbit and gravity related?

When it an object in space in moving it will keep moving at the same speed with the property of inertia. Then moon is an object that has inertia. Gravity keeps the moon from going off into outer space but inertia keeps the moon from crashing into the moon. Gravity and inertia have to be balanced in order for an object to remain in orbit.

If the moon did not have inertia as it travled around the earthwhat would happen?

If the moon suddenly decided to stop pusing forward (inertia), the balance between inertia and the earths gravity would cease and the moon would come crashing into us. :)

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.


What holds the moon?

The moon maintains its orbit due to the balance between the earth's gravity and the moon's inertia.


An object weighs 300N on Earth and 50N on the moon Does the object also have less inertia on the moon?

No, the object's inertia remains the same on the moon as it is on Earth, despite weighing less due to the moon's lower gravity. Inertia is an object's resistance to changes in its motion, determined by its mass, which remains constant regardless of the gravitational force acting upon it.


Which of the follwing is an example of inertia?

A book resting on a table and remaining stationary until a force is applied is an example of inertia.
