If gravity or inertia stop working what would happen to the earth?

If gravity or inertia were to suddenly stop working, the Earth would no longer be held in its orbit around the Sun and would go off into space in a straight line. It would no longer have the centripetal force needed to keep it in its circular orbit. The lack of gravity would also cause everything on Earth to float away into space.


Can a house fly fly in space?

No, a house fly would not be able to survive in space because there is no atmosphere to provide it with air to fly. Additionally, the lack of gravity in space would also make it difficult for the fly to maneuver and navigate.


What happened if the gravity in earth is zero?

If the gravity of the Earth was 0, the law of uniformity would mean that gravity everywhere else in the universe would also be 0 and it therefore could not exist. If you somehow managed to make just the Earth's gravity 0 the planet would fly apart as a result of the centrifugal force of its spin and the Moon would fly off and orbit the Sun on its own.


What is the true relationship between gravity and the motion of our solar system?

Gravity is an attraction of masses to each other. The mass of the Sun is very great and it pulls on all the planets. If there were nothing to stop this attraction the planets would be pulled into the Sun. But, just like whirling a ball around your head with a string and the ball stays out at the end of the string the planets whirling (well, rotating) around the Sun keeps them from falling into the Sun. The pull (attraction) of the Sun is like the string. This pull is called the centripetal force. If you cut the string the ball would fly off. The rotation of the planets makes them want to fly off too. This urge to fly off is called the centrifugal force. When the centripetal force equals the centrifugal force the planet is in a stable orbit.


What would happen if you hit a home run in space?

Newton's laws state that in the absence of other forces, an object will continue along its vector indefinitely. Newton's First Law: An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by unbalanced forces. In reality, the gravity of other objects in space provide unbalanced forces. Eventually the ball would be captured by an objects gravitational field and would either fall to the surface or enter orbit.

we can fly


What would happen in a rugby match if there was no gravity?

players, match officials and supporters would float in mid air. The ball when kicked would fly off in to infinity unless a player could catch it in flight. Basically the game just would not happen


What would happen to earth if the sun did not pull on it with gravity?

We would fly off into space, and we would all die because it is to cold!


What will happen to the moon and planets if gravity did not exist on the solar system?

They would fly randomly through space.


What would happen if you threw a Frisbee disc on the moon?

The disc would fly for a very long time, since there is no gravity on the moon.


If gravity did not affect the path of a horizontally thrown ball the ball would .?

It would travel in a straight line until air resistance brought it to a standstill. It would then hover at that point - in mid-air forever. If air resistance is also removed from the scenario an even stranger thing will happen. The ball will continue in a straight line forever. But, because of the curvature of the earth, the earth's surface will drop away so that the ball will actually fly off into space. One problem with this thought experiment is that the concept of a "straight" line depends on gravity.


What would happen to our solar system if there were no gravity?

The planets would fly off into space and lose their moons and atmospheres. The sun would explode from its enormous interior pressure.


What would happen to the orbits of the planets if the amount of gravity produced by the sun reduced to almost 0?

The orbits of the planets would all be much larger if the sun had less gravity. They might even just fly off free.


What would happen to a baseball if gravity weren't pulling on it as it flies through the air?

Then the baseball would fly in a straight line, leaving Earth eventually (if it started in the correct direction).


What would happen if gravity ceased to exists?

Everything not bolted down, including the atmosphere, would fly off into space, the earth would depart from the sun. The sun and all the stars would explode.


What happens if there are only 2 outs and the outfielder after catching a pop fly throws the ball into the stands by mistake?

If there are 2 outs, and a fly ball is caught by an outfielder, that would be the 3rd out, ending the inning. If the outfielder then throws the ball into the stands, nothing would happen, because the inning would already be over and time would be out.


What will happen to a whirling ball attached to a string when it is suddenly released?

It would fly away perpendicular to the string axis at the point of release at the velocity it was traveling; then drop to the ground by the acceleration of gravity
