What else can I help you with?
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.
What is the astronaut inertia on the moon?
The astronaut's inertia on the moon would be the same as on Earth, as inertia is an object's resistance to a change in motion. However, due to the moon's lower gravity, the astronaut would weigh less and experience a reduced force opposing their motion compared to Earth.
Can an automatic wrist watch run in space?
By 'automatic', do you mean self-winding? And do you mean in a state of weightlessness? I believe it would, as long as someone is wearing it. Wrist movements cause a self-winding mechanism to work based on the inertia of the weights within the watch. Inertia is a property of mass, and it does not go away in the absence of gravity. Battery powered and ordinary manually wound watches would also work, I believe.
Would a spring balance work on the moon?
A spring balance would work on the moon but would first have to be re-calibrated for the moons lower gravity.
Does the sun's gravity keep Earth from flying off into space?
Yes, the sun's gravity is the primary force that keeps Earth in orbit around it. The gravitational pull of the sun balances with Earth's inertia, which would otherwise cause it to move in a straight line into space. This delicate balance creates a stable orbit, allowing Earth to maintain its position within the solar system. Without the sun's gravity, Earth would indeed drift away into space.
How would zero gravity affect inertia?
In zero gravity, inertia would remain the same as in normal gravity. Inertia is a property of a body that causes it to resist changes in its motion, regardless of the presence or absence of gravity. Thus, objects in zero gravity would still exhibit the same resistance to changes in motion as they would in a gravitational environment.
If the moon did not have inertia as it travled around the earthwhat would happen?
If the moon suddenly decided to stop pusing forward (inertia), the balance between inertia and the earths gravity would cease and the moon would come crashing into us. :)
Are you saying inertia is a source of gravity?
Gravity is related to masses. Inertia is simply another effect of masses. I would say that the mass is the source, both for gravity and for inertia. The basic unit, however, is the mass.Gravity is related to masses. Inertia is simply another effect of masses. I would say that the mass is the source, both for gravity and for inertia.

What force is responsible for the orbit of the planet in the solar system?
That would be gravity and inertia.
What can upset the balance between gravity and pressure in a nebular?
You used the term nebular. I take it you mean a galaxy. There would not be a balance between gravity and pressure. There would be a balance between gravity and centrifugal force.
What is the moment of inertia of the balance wheel about its shaft?
The moment of inertia of the balance wheel about its shaft depends on the shape and distribution of mass in the wheel. To calculate it, you would need to know the mass distribution and shape of the balance wheel.

What would happen if earth didn't have gravity?
Without gravity, everything on Earth would float off into space. There would be no atmosphere or oceans, and all living things would have a hard time surviving without the necessary conditions for life. The absence of gravity would also disrupt the orbits of celestial bodies, leading to chaos in the solar system.
What two motions combine to produce an orbit?
gravity and acceleration
What would happen if only inertia as only acting on earth?
If only inertia were acting on Earth, the planet would continue in its current state of motion in a straight line at a constant speed. It would not experience any acceleration or changes in direction. The absence of other forces, such as gravity, would cause Earth to move in a linear motion indefinitely until acted upon by an external force.
Inertia is the reluctance of a body to exchange its situation of stillness or motion. How could inertia send the planets sailing through the galaxy against the gravity of the sun?
Inertia cannot send the planets sailing off through the galaxy as long is the sun's gravity is acting on them. Only if the sun's gravity suddenly disappeared would this happen. The pull of the Sun's gravity is the only force keeping the planets from heading off alone through the galaxy. The planets' inertia keeps the Sun's gravity from pulling them into the Sun at the center of the solar system.It's a nice balance, and it has been going on for about 4 billion years since the solar system formed from the dust and gas scattered through this region of interstellar space.
What two motions combine produce an orbit?
Gravity and Inertia For example, Gravity from our sun keeps us at an almost identical distance all the way around. It makes sure we don't fling off into the depths of our solar system. Inertia, keeps us in motion, if there were no inertia, our rotation would stop at a stand still. If we stopped, we would be sucked into the sun by it's gravity. Good Luck!
