What would happen to the gravitational force between Earth and the Moon if the distance?
Since gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the separation distance between the two interacting objects, more separation distance will result in weaker gravitational forces. So as two objects are separated from each other, the force of gravitational attraction between them also decreases.
How would the gravitational force between the earth and the Moon change if the distance between the earth and moon was doubled?
If the distance between the earth and moon were doubled, the gravitational force between them will be. F2=F4.
What would happen if the distance between the earth and the Moon decreased?
Assuming that the Moon’s orbit is fixed, when the Earth’s diameter becomes larger, the distance between the Moon and Earth would decrease, increasing the gravitational force between them, hence, Earth’s tides would also be influenced (higher and lower tides may occur).
When the distance between the earth and the Moon is farthest it is called?
The point on the Moon’s orbit closest to Earth is called the perigee and the point farthest away is the apogee.
What would happen to the gravitational attraction if the moon were 480000 miles away?
The distance from the Earth to the moon is approximately 240,000 miles. What would happen to the gravitational force if the moon were moved to a distance of 480,000 miles? The gravitational force would increase by a factor of two because that moon is twice as far away from the Earth.
Is the relationship between gravitational force and distance of separation between moon and planet an inverse or direct relationship?
The relationship between gravitational force and distance of separation between moon and planet is an inverse relationship.
Is the relationship between gravitational force and distance of separation between Moon and planet an inverse or direct relationship?
What will happen if moon comes closer to Earth?
With the Moon coming closer and closer, the Earth rotation would speed up, our days would become shorter and shorter, global temperatures would go down and no one would worry about climate change anymore. Unless asteroids burned the Earth to ashes, then there would be no one to worry about anything.
What would happen if the Moon was twice as far from Earth?
If the Moon were twice as far from the Earth as it is currently, there would be no total solar eclipses any more. Currently the relative sizes and distances of the Moon and the Sun means that total solar eclipses can happen.
When the distance between Earth and the Moon is closest?
At perigee, the point at which the moon is closest to Earth, the distance is approximately 360,000 kilometers. At apogee, the point at which the moon is farthest from Earth, the distance is approximately 405,000 kilometers.
How is distance between Earth and moon measured?
There are two ways to measure the distance from the Earth to the Moon on your own: using a Lunar eclipse and using parallax. The Ancient Greeks used Lunar eclipses – the phenomena of the Earth passing directly between the sun and the Moon – to determine the distance from the Earth to its satellite.
