The moon is moving (around the sun)

IF the Earth's gravity suddenly stopped, the moon would continue to go around the sun.

IF all gravity stopped, the moon would travel in a straight line in whatever direction it was going in at the time.

What is gravitational force in space?

Same as on Earth. In both cases, you can use the law of gravitation to figure out with how much force an object gets attracted.Same as on Earth.

What is a force between all masses?

The force between all masses is called gravitational force. It is an attractive force that exists between any two objects with mass, and it is responsible for phenomena such as the orbits of planets around the sun and the falling of objects near Earth's surface.


Would the gravitational force between the moon and earth increase if the mass of earth increased?

yes, because according to newton's law of universal gravitation, the gravitational attraction between two objects depends on the masses of both of them (and also on the distance between them)


How does the law of universal gravitation apply to earth and the moon?

The law of universal gravitation states that every object attracts every other object with a force proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers. In the case of Earth and the Moon, they exert gravitational forces on each other that keep them in orbit. The gravitational force between them causes the Moon to orbit around the Earth.


Which of the following forces exerted by the earth on the moon keeps the moon in orbit?

The force that keeps the moon in orbit around the Earth is gravity. Specifically, the gravitational pull between the Earth and the moon is what keeps the moon in its elliptical orbit.

Why is gravitation so important?

Does Gravitation mean Gravity?

Yes, gravitation refers to the force of attraction that exists between all objects with mass. Gravity specifically refers to the force of attraction that Earth exerts on objects near its surface. Gravity is one of the manifestations of gravitation.

What does the law of universal gravitation mean to us?

The law of universal gravitation establishes the ratio of two objects attraction based on mass and an inverse of distance. This means that people will stay on the earth because of their proximity, but that massive objects like the sun and Jupiter will not suddenly crash into each other because of their distance.

What is the formula needed to measure the earth's mass?

You use the universal formula for gravitation. Lab measurements - such as the Cavendish balance - are used to determine the constant, G. Once this is known, you can measure the force of gravity between a known mass, and Earth, and insert the values in the formula for gravitation.


What is the force of gravitation between the earth and a body at the centre of earth?

The gravitational force between the earth and a body at the center of the earth would be 0 Newtons or 0 lbf. F=G (m1*m2)/r^2 r = zero if the center of the body is at the center of the earth
