The acceleration in freefall on the Moon is about 1.622 meters/sec2 (approx. 0.165 Earth g).
The acceleration due to gravity can be found using Newtons law of Universal Gravitation.
The mass of the moon is 7.36x10^22 The radius of the moon is 1,737.4 kilometers or 1.7374x10^6 meters and newtons gravitational constant is 6.67x10^-11(m^3)/(kg*s^2).
Using this information we can use the formula a=(G(m2))/(r^2) where a= acceleration on the moon G is gravitational constant and m2 is the mass of the moon.
So... a=(6.67x10^-11(m^3)/(kg*s^2)(7.35x10^22kg))/(1.73x10^6m)^2 so acceleration on the moon a=1.62631m/s^2
Or you could do it the easy way since gravity on the moon is 1/6 that of earth the acceleration of gravity of the moon would be 9.8/6=1.63m/s^2
I believe the reason is because the moon gets a tiny bit closer to the earth ever year.
Possibly that the moon is accelerating towards the earth constantly, as gravity is pulling it towards us. the reason it doesn't crash into us is that it is moving at 90 degrees to us. Because it is always being pulled towards us but is also moving to the side, it ends up orbiting us. I hope this explanation is simple enough to answer your question.
The Moon's speed is very constant. There are 2 kinds of acceleration: Linear and Centripital. Centripital acceleration is experienced by a body orbiting another body, like the Moon orbits the Earth, but it does not mean speeding up.
The US responded to the USSR sending a man to space by increasing funding for their own space program, NASA, and accelerating their efforts to send a man to the moon. This led to the Apollo program and ultimately, the US successfully landing the first humans on the moon in 1969.
Yes, the satellite is accelerating because it is revolving around our earth and in a circular motion so its velocity changes every second so it is accelerating.A2. No, the satellite is not accelerating. Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. But, its velocity is constant. The centrifugal effect is exactly balanced by the pull of gravity (assuming a circular orbit).But a nice question. The net acceleration between these forces is zero.

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.
it is accelerating.
An object is accelerating if its velocity is changing.
Heartbeats Accelerating was created in 1989.
Accelerating...or was accelerating.
Its accelerating I got it right
My car is accelerating at 10 miles per hour per hour.

Mass is the quantity of matter in an object. If an object is subject to an accelerating force, then it has weight. Your weight on the Moon will be about one-seventh of that on the Earth. Because of its much lower gravitational force.
noise and jolting is present whilst car is idolling and accelerating
Frame of reference is the measurement or observation that tells you that a car is accelerating. It uses the second law of motion to tell you rather or not the car is accelerating.
