-- Look at the formulas you use in order to calculate the mechanical advantage

of any device.

-- If the force of gravity or the weight of any part of the machine appears

in any of those formulas, then the value of the formula depends on the local

gravitational environment, and it depends on which planet the machine is on.

-- If neither of them does, then it doesn't.

Causes of mechanical weathering on the moon?

The major cause of mechanical weathering on the moon is micrometeorites. These tiny rocks hit the moons surface and over time, change it.


Will the force of gravity being less on the moon than on earth affect the mechanical advantage of a ramp?

No. Mechanical advantage of a ramp is the ratio of base to height. That is fixed. Using a ramp on the Moon would result in less force being required in that same ratio, although the total force would be about 0.165 that of Earth because of the Moon's smaller gravity. Explained another way... If you have a 10:1 ramp that allows you to only need 10 N of force to lift a 100 N load on Earth, then that same ramp and same load on the Moon would require 1.65 N, but the object would also be only 16.5 N to start with.


How would the motian of the moon change if there where no gravity?

The motion of the Moon would change from an elliptical orbit to a straight line.


What is the mechanical advantage of an inclined plane if it were on the moon instead of the earth?

Exactly the same. The reduction in gravitational force has no effect on M.A., which is a matter of simple geometry.

How does moon's shape and position change over time?

The moon's shape would change with the impact of meteor's, changing the moon's landscape.


What spurred the development of the space program?

The fear the the Russians would get to space and the moon first and would gain a military advantage.


If you put a moon rock on the earth would the weight of the rock change?

No, the weight of the moon rock would not change if it was brought to Earth. Weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object, which would be the same on the moon as it is on Earth. The mass of the rock would stay the same as well.

How would the mass of an object change if it were on the moon?

The mass of an object would remain the same on the moon as it is on Earth. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, so it does not change with location. However, the weight of the object would be less on the moon due to the moon's lower gravity compared to Earth.


Would nutation change if there were no moon?

Yes. The Moon is a major cause of the nutations of the planet Earth.


If you weigh 100kg and went to the moon which has 16 the gravity of earth would your weight change?

yes it would change
