What is the route to the moon?
from earth to moon
How far is Uranus from the moon?
For all practical purposesUranus is just as far from Earth's moon as it is from the Earth.
Could you hit a golf ball further on earth or the moon?
the moon
Where does the bulge of earth occur?
The Earth is not a perfect sphere. The rotation of the planet has caused the Earth to 'bulge' to a certain extent. The distance around the Equator is further than any other measurement of the circumference.
Who were the first people to calculate the size of the Earth and the Earth-Moon distance?
The first people to calculate the size of the Earth and the Earth-Moon distance were the ancient Greek mathematician and astronomer, Eratosthenes, and the ancient Greek astronomer and mathematician, Hipparchus.
Does gravity provide a centripetal force on the moon helping it stay in orbit around the earth?
Yes, gravity is the centripetal force that keeps the Moon in its orbit around the Earth. The gravitational force between the Earth and Moon provides the necessary inward force (centripetal force) to balance the outward inertial force and keep the Moon in a stable orbit.
What is a sentence using the word centripetal?
A ball on a string is an example of centripetal acceleration
Gravity provides a centripetal force on the Moon helping it stay in orbit around Earth?
Correct! The force of gravity between the Earth and the Moon acts as a centripetal force, keeping the Moon in its orbit around the Earth. This balance between gravity and the Moon's inertia allows it to continuously move in a circular path around the Earth.
What is one major force that keep moon in it orbit around earth?
centripetal force
The centripetal force that makes the Moon travel in a circle around the Earth instead of continuing in a straight line is?
As the moon orbits the Earth, the force of gravity acting upon the moon provides the centripetal force required for circular motion.
What is responsible for keeping the moon in orbit around the earth?
The gravitational force between the Earth and the Moon is responsible for keeping the Moon in orbit around the Earth. This force acts as a centripetal force, pulling the Moon towards the Earth and keeping it in a stable orbit.
If the moon in its orbit around earth behaves like a ball at the end of a string being swung above your head what forces are involved?
The forces involved in the moon's orbit around Earth are gravitational force and centripetal force. The gravitational force from Earth keeps the moon in orbit, while the centripetal force acts as the tension in the string, pulling the moon towards the center of its orbit.
What keeps the natural satellite to stay in his position?
The revolutionary movement of the natural satellite such as moon around the earth makes it stable in its orbit. This is similar to the stay of earth around the sun. Scientifically speaking the gravitational force of attraction between the earth and moon becomes the necessary centripetal force to keep it stay in its orbit. This centripetal force will be along the line joining the moon and the earth. This centripetal will be balanced by the centrifugal which acts away from the earth. This centrifugal force comes into the scene due to the inertia of direction.
What provide the force that produce centripital acceleration in orbit?
The gravitation of the central body. For example, for the Moon moving around the Earth, the centripetal force is the gravity between Earth and Moon.
The centripetal force acting on the moon continuously changes the of the Moon's motion?
The gravitational attraction from the Earth.The gravitational attraction from the Earth.The gravitational attraction from the Earth.The gravitational attraction from the Earth.
Why are the sun moon and spheres?
Centripetal Force.
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
