Answer 1

It wouldn't, because the Moon isn't in geostationary orbit. The "cable" would get all wrapped around the equator.

Answer 2

For an actual description of a space elevator (which is a scientifically viable concept) please see the Related Links below.

The Lunar Elevator would go from the surface of the moon to a specific point in space where the gravity and centrifugal forces are equal. There would be an Earth elevator that does similarly and then a much easier trip would be had in the vacuum of space between the two "drop-off" points. Most fuel used currently to get from Earth to the moon is to break out of Earth's atmosphere and to slow the descent to the moon (and vice versa)

What is the minimum times in a year that a lunar eclipse happen?

it's quite rare, but it's possible to have no lunar eclipses at all in a year, if the geometry between the Earth, Moon and Sun doesn't quite work out. The maximum possible number, again VERY rare, is five. Typically, we have two lunar eclipses per year.


A cable lifts a 1380-kg elevator at a constant velocity for a distance of 29 m What is the work done by each What?

The work done by the cable is equal to the force applied by the cable multiplied by the distance it moves. The work done by the elevator is zero since it moves at a constant velocity, meaning there is no change in kinetic energy. The work done by the cable is equal to the force of gravity on the elevator multiplied by the distance it is lifted. Work = force x distance = (mass x gravity) x distance = (1380 kg x 9.8 m/s^2) x 29 m = 390,804 Joules.


What would happen to the frequency of eclipses if the Moon's orbit were not tilted?

If the plane of the moon's orbit coincided with the plane of the earth's orbit (the 'ecliptic plane'), there would be a solar eclipse at every New Moon, and a lunar eclipse at every Full Moon. Nobody would think anything of it. It would be commonplace, just "the way things work", and nobody would even bother to look up. Eclipses would be as boring as the sunrise and sunset are, even though all are equally miraculous.


Can something work 60 percent of the time all the time?

AnswerYes, if you think about it for along time. then the answer would be yes. But if you're clever enough to know that "along" is not the same as "a long" then the answer would be no. Can something work 60% of the time if you only try it once. No, my friend, you would have to do it a multiple of 5 times for it to work 60% of the time. Not that its meant to be taken seriously; its a actually a joke, as I hope you asking that question was.


How does a space elevator work in space?

A system of pulleys along a long carbon nanotube structure that reachs into space. There is a common misconception that there is not gravity in space, however this is not the case. Classified as microgravity it is still possible for basically anything that functions normally on earth to function normally in the microgravity of space.

How much work does gravity do on the elevator?

Gravity does work on the elevator when it moves up or down, but the amount of work done depends on the distance the elevator travels and the weight of the elevator and its occupants.


Does the close door button on a Otis elevator work?

No, it doesn't. I was told that it was for people that have OCD so that they would feel better.


Is there work done on a person ascending an elevator?

No work is done on a person ascending an elevator as the force is in the same direction as the displacement, resulting in zero work done by the force moving the person.

What are disadvantages of elevator?

A disadvantage of an elevator is the inconvenience when it does not work. People get dependent on an elevator and find it very hard to take the stairs during a breakdown even if they are physically capable of using stairs.

How does the elevator work?

Passenger elevators are big pulleys powered by a motor with 6-8 cables or more that pull the elevator cab or the counter weight letting the elevator go up or down.


Where could I find a home elevator kit that I could install myself?

In most states it's not legal to work on an elevator without the proper certification. The only exception would be industrial equipment not intended to carry people can be installed and maintained by the company. If an elevator carries a person you have to consult your state and local laws, but they're almost certainly going to say that unqualified persons can not work on one.
