What is true about the moon's orbit around Earth?
The moon's orbital period is the same as its rotational period, so the same side of the moon always faces the earth.
Your moon always shows the same face to the earth?
The moon always shows the same face to the Earth due to its synchronous rotation, meaning it takes the same amount of time to rotate on its axis as it does to orbit the Earth. This synchronization occurs because of the gravitational forces between the Earth and the moon.
Gravity on the moon is less than on the earth True or False?
True. Gravity on the moon is about one-sixth that of Earth's gravity.
Does Newton's second law hold true on the surface of the moon?
Newton's second law always holds true. Hence, it's a law (newtonian physics do fail when you take extreme cases, such as traveling near the speed of light, but for 90% of cases you can imagine they are always, ALWAYS, true).
Is the moon the star closest to earth true or false?
false the moon is not a star
Is it true On the moon your mass would be less than it on earth but your weight would be the same?
falseIt is false. Your weight would be less on the moon but your mass would be the same.
If a rock was brought from earth to the moon what statement is true?
The weight of the rock would be less on the moon compared to Earth due to the moon's weaker gravity, but the mass of the rock would remain the same.
Is it true that moon pulls on the earth with one-sixth the force that the earth exerts on the moon?
No. Gravitational force is present between every two mass bodies, and the force on each body is the same.
What is true about the moon's orbit around Earth?
The moon's orbital period is the same as its rotational period, so the same side of the moon always faces the earth.
Is it true that you have less mass on the moon and therefore you weigh less?
No, your mass remains exactly the same. It is gravity that changes. The moon has about 1/6 the gravity of the surface of the earth, so you weigh about 1/6 as much. For example, a person who has a mass of 60 kg weighs about 132 pounds on earth, or about 22 pounds on the moon, but the mass remains 60 kg.
The moon has one sixth the gravity of earth and why?
Mainly because the moon has only about 1/80 as much mass as Earth has. True, the moon is considerably smaller than the Earth, allowing you to get closer to its center of mass. But not close enough to compensate entirely for the difference in mass.
Gravity gives you your mass true or false?
False. You will have the same mass on our moon, but weigh 1/6th as much as on the Earth.
Is it true that do you weigh more on the moon than you do on earth?
No, you weigh less because the moon has less mass, or is smaller, than earth whick means that is has less of a gravitational pull.
Your moon always shows the same face to the earth?
The moon always shows the same face to the Earth due to its synchronous rotation, meaning it takes the same amount of time to rotate on its axis as it does to orbit the Earth. This synchronization occurs because of the gravitational forces between the Earth and the moon.
On the moon, which objects would fall with the same acceleration?
on the moon, which object would fall with the same acceleration
What is true of the Moon's orbital and rotational periods?
The Moon's orbital period (time to orbit Earth) is about 27.3 days, which is the same as its rotational period (time to rotate once on its axis). This synchronous rotation is why we always see the same face of the Moon from Earth.
Is it true that earth is seen upwards from moon?
Generally, yes, just as we see the moon when it is "up". Earth can be just over the horizon of the moon, or straight up, depending where you are on the moon. The same side of the moon always faces the earth, so from the far side, Earth can never be seen.
