What holds the moon in place?
The moon is held in place by the gravitational pull of the Earth. This gravitational force keeps the moon in orbit around the Earth, preventing it from floating off into space. The balance between the motion of the moon and the gravitational force of the Earth keeps the moon in a stable orbit.
What holds the moon in place so it doesn't shoot off into space?
The moon is held in place by Earth's gravitational pull. The gravitational force between Earth and the moon keeps the moon in orbit around the Earth.
How would the motion of the moon change with no centripital force?
the moon rotates around the earth. The force keeping it in orbit around the earth aka the centripital force is caused by the gravitational force between the moon and the earth. If the gravitational force and thus the centripital force dissapeared, the moon would fly off tangent to its circular orbit
Why is the earth's gravitational force different from one place to another?
Because gravity depends not only on the mass, the volume, the density and the speed of rotation of the planet but also on local specificities such as presence of water, of mountains etc. The earth's mantle is not homogeneous so the effects of gravity differs from a region to another.
How does gravitational force affect your mass?
Gravitational force does not change your mass. Mass is the same when you are floating in the weightlessness of space, but your mass when put into a gravitational field creates your weight. On Earth, Earth's gravity (gravitational force) pulls on your mass, creating your weight. The mass of an object determines its gravitational pull. A object with a lot of mass like the Earth has a lot of gravitational force/pull -- the force we call gravity. So, your body has a gravitational force, it's just so small, because your mass is small, it isn't noticeable.
Is there any place on the earth where there is not gravitational force?
The center of the Earth.
Out of the Sun Earth the Moon and a Book which one exert the stronget gravitational force on you?
The Earth exerts the greatest gravitational force on you because it is the most massive object you are closest to. The Earth exerts a force equal to your weight. The other objects exert gravitational forces but are not very noticeable because they are either low in mass or separated from you by great distance.
Is there any place on the earth where gravitational force is maximum?
The closer to the core of the earth an object gets, the higher the gravitational pull.
What holds the moon in place?
The moon is held in place by the gravitational pull of the Earth. This gravitational force keeps the moon in orbit around the Earth, preventing it from floating off into space. The balance between the motion of the moon and the gravitational force of the Earth keeps the moon in a stable orbit.
What holds earth's atmosphere together?
the gravitational force holds its atmosphere together
What holds the moon in place so it doesn't shoot off into space?
The moon is held in place by Earth's gravitational pull. The gravitational force between Earth and the moon keeps the moon in orbit around the Earth.
Why the force of gravity is not exactly the same everywhere on earth's surface?
The earth is not perfect sphere therefore the radius differs from place to place and from Newton Gravitational law force is directly proportional to radius
What what happened to the magnitude of gravitational force between the Sun and Earth if earth was place in Pluto's orbit?
it would be less than what it was before
Materials move from a higher place to a lower place because of?
the force of gravity. Gravity pulls objects downward toward the Earth's center, causing materials to move from a higher place to a lower place.
Our atmosphere is attracted by earth's?
Yes, Earth's gravitational force holds our atmosphere in place. The gravitational force between Earth and the atmosphere prevents it from drifting off into space. The atmosphere is made up of gases like nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide, which are all kept close to Earth's surface due to gravity.
How would the motion of the moon change with no centripital force?
the moon rotates around the earth. The force keeping it in orbit around the earth aka the centripital force is caused by the gravitational force between the moon and the earth. If the gravitational force and thus the centripital force dissapeared, the moon would fly off tangent to its circular orbit
