Yes, since friction is independent of gravity.

Is it true that the force of friction pulls the moon and earth toward each other?

No, friction is the resistance on a moving object that acts to slow it down, there is no friction in space. Gravity is the force that causes all bodies with mass to attract to each other, this includes the moon and earth. An example of this is the tides, the tides are effected by the pull of the gravity from the moon.


When you're chewing gum does friction occur?

Guess what.. TAYLOR LAUTNER is Jacob Black in New Moon. XD And Yes friction occurs. :] The chewing causes friction between the gum and the teeth.


Describe tidal friction created by the moon acts like a brake on the earth?

How is the moon positioned when it is a hightide?

Above the highest tide (allowing for the inertia AND friction of water).


Does the Earth or the moon have more inertia?

Yes, friction exists on the moon as it does on Earth, but also bear in mind that since the gravitational attraction of the moon is about one sixth as strong as that of the Earth, you would weigh less on the moon and therefore would have less friction involved in walking.


Fricton with air caused low orbit satellites to spiral in and eventually crash into earth why does tidal friction cause the moon orbit to spiral out?

Conservation of angular momentum. Tidal friction removes momentum from the Earth, and transfers it to the Earth-Moon system.


Is moon magnet?

Yes, the moon does have a weak magnetic field, but it is much smaller than Earth's. This magnetic field is believed to be a remnant from when the moon was formed billions of years ago.


Why is the distance between moon and earth spreading?

Because the Moon orbits the Earth slower than the earth rotates itself, it creates friction that pulls the Moon away at about 1/4 an inch a year


What is a sport no way affected by differences in frictional effects between the earth and the moon?

Every sport because the earth and moon are not in close enough proximity to generate friction between their surfaces. If you mean sports that aren't affected by air-friction, which would be present on earth but less significant on the moon, then mind sports would be a candidate, as would space suit grappling.


Is tidal friction slowing down earth?

Yes, tidal friction is causing Earth's rotation to gradually slow down over thousands of years. This is due to the gravitational forces between Earth and the Moon, which create tidal bulges on Earth's surface that slightly offset its rotational momentum.


What force slows and stops the ball on the moon?

I think you're talking about Inertia and Friction, the question is kinda confusing soo...


-More meteorites reach the surface of the moon than the Earth Why?

Most of the meteorites which reach Earth burn up as they enter Earth's atmosphere due the heat caused by friction. The moon has no atmosphere.
