What is the work done by the moon in revolving the earth?

Answer 1

The gravitational pull from the earth keep the moon in its orbit.

- Well, that's the short (to the point answer). Using the example of our moon and Earth to show the relationship between them. Here is the long explanation explaining in detail how Gravity and Orbit really works in the link. More information can be obtained by going to the web-page through the "Related links" section below.

Answer 2

The work done by the moon in orbiting the Earth is minimal as no significant force is required to maintain its movement. The moon's orbit is essentially a stable and balanced system, so the work done is negligible.

Answer 3

The Moon orbits the Earth. (The Earth and the Moon orbit the Sun together.)

What keeps the Moon in its orbit (or orbits) is gravity.

Let's think about the Moon orbiting the Earth:

1) The Moon has a "sideways" velocity. Scientists call this velocity "tangential" to the Moon's orbit.

2) The gravitational force between Earth and Moon tries to pull the Moon

towards the Earth.

These two things combine to make the Moon go in a curved path, its orbit.

( You need to do some mathematics really to show exactly how it works.)

Answer 4

Magnetism.

Two forces: Gravity is the "pull" (or +) force coming from the earth but there are TWO forces in balance required to keep the moon in orbit: an equal and opposite force that I call "energy" or (-). Without BOTH in Balance (0), the moon would crash into the earth. Same with the sun, stars, electrons and all of the bodies in the Universe of Light.

Mathematically:

(+) + (-) = 0

where Zero represents Balance and NOT "nothing" as in the world of "things" there cannot be "no-thing"…

There is the mathematical proving of the Unified Field Theory!

Answer 5

The Earth and Moon keep in orbit due to a balance between gravity (from the Sun or the Earth) and inertia (due to the Earth's velocity around the Sun or the Moon's velocity around the Earth). Therefore, the Earth does not smash into the Sun, nor does it fly out to outer space.

Answer 6

The mutual gravitational attraction between the earth and moon.

The same phenomenon is responsible for the stable, closed orbits of all the planets, asteroids,

and comets in their travels around the sun,

Answer 7

Gravity attracts the moon toward the Earth, and the moon's angular momentum pulls in the opposite direction. With gravity alone, the moon would crash into the Earth, and with angular momentum alone the moon would fly away into outer space. But in combination, these produce an orbit.

Answer 8

Orbiting bodies are held together by the mutual force of gravitation between them.

Without gravity, the moon would go sailing away in a straight line, and would never

be seen again. Similarly, the earth would go sailing away from the sun.

Answer 9

The Earth and moon maintain their mutual orbital relationship because of the

mutual forces of gravitation between them.

At the same time, the center of mass of the Earth/Moon pair maintains its orbital

relationship with the sun because of the mutual forces of gravitation between the

Earth/Moon pair and the sun.

Answer 10

Your answer about how the moon stays in it's orbit is half correct. You indicate it's because of gravity. Gravity is the "pull" (or +) force coming from the earth but there are TWO forces in balance required to keep the moon in orbit: an equal and opposite force that I call "energy" or (-). Without BOTH in Balance (0), the moon would crash into the earth. Same with the sun, stars, electrons and all of the bodies in the Universe of Light.

Mathematically:

(+) + (-) = 0

where Zero represents Balance and NOT "nothing" as in the world of "things" there cannot be "no-thing"…
