If a spacecraft travels from earth to the edge of the solar system what will happen to the gravitational pull between earth and the spacecraft?

The gravitational pull between earth and the spacecraft will become insignificant.


Over millions of years the moon is moving further away from the earth what will happen to the gravitational attraction between the moon and the earth as the moon gets further away?

As the moon gets further and further away, the gravitational force between the Earth and the Moon decreases. Because the Moon is not being attracted but being pushed away from the Earth. If the gravitational force would have increased, the moon would come closer and closer to the Earth.


What is the relationship between Earth and gravitational force?

Earth has gravity or gravitational force that attracts the moon to the Earth.


What would happen to the magnitude of the gravitational force between the sun and Earth if Earth was placed in Pluto's orbit?

The magnitude of the gravitational force between the sun and Earth would decrease if Earth was placed in Pluto's orbit. This is because the force of gravity between two objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them, so as Earth moved farther away from the sun (as in Pluto's orbit), the gravitational force would weaken.


What would happen if the gravitational force was eliminated between the earth and sun?

The earth's constant orbit around the sun is caused by an equilibrium between two forces - the gravitational pull of the sun, and the earth's velocity acting at a right angle to it. If that gravitational pull was suddenly eliminated, the earth would continue onwards in a straight line.

Does the gravitational force vary with the distance between earth and sun?

The gravitational force between the Earth and sun certainly depends on the distance between the Earth and sun. But the gravitational force between, for example, the Earth and me does not.

The Moon is slowly moving away from Earth. What will eventually happen to the gravitational force between Earth and the moon Why?

The Moon exerts a tidal force on the Earth, causing a bulge. ... But, since we just said that the force is gravitational and we know that gravity decreases with distance, we know that the force will also decrease with distance. That means the rate at which the Moon recedes will decrease with time.


What will happen to the motion of the earth if suddenly the gravitational field of the sun collapses-?

If the gravitational field of the sun collapses, the earth is likely to come to an end.
