What simple machine can increase distance?
A lever can increase the distance over which a force is applied. By using a longer lever arm, the input force can be spread over a larger distance to achieve a greater output distance.
Do machines increase distance over which force acts?
Machines do not increase the distance over which a force acts. Machines simply allow us to apply a force over a longer distance, but the total work done remains the same. The mechanical advantage of a machine may amplify input force, but the distance over which the force acts remains constant.
Which simple machine does not increase the distance cover which a force is applied?
A lever does not increase the distance over which a force is applied. It only changes the direction or magnitude of the applied force.
Which is closer to the earth the moon or the stars?
Answer:The Moon is closer. The Sun is 380 times farther away.The Moon is about 384,400 km (239,000 miles) away from the Earth,The Sun is 149.6 million km (93,000,000 miles) away from the Earth.i dunnoo i think Saturn but dunoo yy :)
Why did the light part of the moon appear to decrease in size over time?
The light part of the moon appeared to decrease in size over time because of the changing angles between the sun, Earth, and moon, causing different portions of the illuminated side of the moon to be visible from Earth. This phenomenon is known as the lunar phases.
What causes the angular diameter of the moon to increase and decrease over time?
The change in its distance from the earth. The distance changes by about 43,000 km which equates to about 4.8 minutes of arc.
What is the distance between the moon and earth today?
over 24,000 miles
Where is the sun and the moon?
The Sun is at a mean distance of about 150 million kilometers from Earth. The Moon is at a mean distance of 380,000 kilometers from Earth. The direction at which you find them vary over time.
What is the distance when the moons gravity becomes 0 or earths gravity takes over?
The gravity never goes to exactly zero. Off in the most distant galaxy we can see, the gravitational force of the Moon (or the Earth, or for that matter you) is not zero. It's immeasurably small, but it's not zero. However, there is a point directly between the Earth and the Moon where the gravity of the two exactly balance each other. At less than this distance from the Moon, the net force is towards the Moon; at more than this distance, the net force is towards the Earth. It is located where the mass of the Earth divided by the distance to Earth squared is equal to the mass of the Moon divided by the distance to the Moon squared. The exact distance of this point from the center of the Moon varies since the distance between the Earth and the Moon is not constant, but it's roughly 10% of the center-to-center distance between the Earth and the Moon.
How many light years is the earth to the moon?
The distance from the Moon to Earth is a little more than one light-SECOND, meaning it takes light a little over a second to travel that distance.
Which is closer to New York the moon or Paris and is any distance on Earth greater than the distance to the moon?
Paris. The moon is about 220,000 miles away from Earth. Earth's circumference is about 25,000 miles. Paris is much closer to New York (3,636 miles) then the moon (238,857 miles). No distance between two places on Earth is greater than the distance to the moon. The circumference of the Earth is only 24,901 miles so that's pretty much the furthest you can go between two points on Earth. The distance to the moon as mentioned is over 238,857 miles.
On a scale in which the distance from the Sun to the earth is about 400 meters the distance from the earth to the Moon is?
Given the ratio of the distance between the earth to the sun and the earth to the moon, calculations find an incredibly small number, almost 1/400. Multiplying by 400 meters gives a distance of just over 1.028 meters in this comparison.
Why is the distance between the Earth and the moon usually given as an average?
It is given as an average because the distance varies over time.
What is the relative size and distance relationships among the sun earth and moon?
The earth's diameter is 3.67 times the moon's, and 0.0092 of the sun's diameter. The distance to the sun is 391 times the distance to the moon. The moon's diameter is 0.283 of the earth's, and 0.0025 of the sun's. The distance to the earth is 0.0026 times the distance to the sun. The sun's diameter is 109 times the earth's, and 400 times the moon's diameter. On the average over a month, the earth and moon are at equal distances from the sun.
Is the moon or neptune farther from earth?
The moon is about 384,403 kilometers (238,857 miles) from Earth, and about 4,564 million kilometers (2,835 million miles) from Neptune. So, the moon is much closer to the Earth, Neptune over 10,000 times farther away.
How many nickels from earth to the moon?
Assuming US and not Canadian nickels (0.01 difference) Taking the average distance from the Earth to the Moon, you could reach the Moon from Earth with 18,123,479,491 nickels or just over 18 billion.
Where does the gravity of the moon become stronger than that of the earth so that an object in space between the two is drawn towards the moon instead of earth?
First, this isn't a simple "statics" problem. For example, the Moon is orbiting Earth. Also the Earth-Moon distance varies (elliptical orbit). (The distances mentioned below are, strictly speaking, distances from the centres of the Earth and Moon.) However, a simple answer is: at about a tenth of the Earth-Moon distance from the Moon. Here's why: The Moon's mass is about 1/81 of the Earth's mass. Gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of an object. Gravitational force is inversely proportion to the square of the distance between objects. When the ratio of the distance to Moon to the distance to the Earth is 1/9 gives the "neutral gravity point". That's because 1/9 x 1/9 = 1/81. So, the place where the Moon's gravity takes over is one tenth of the Earth-Moon distance from Moon. The Moon's average distance from Earth is about 238,000 miles. That means the answer is: at about 23,800 miles from the Moon. (Remember there are other ways of looking at this problem. There is more than one "correct" answer, depending on your approach.)
